JOE SHUTE 5OZ BIG HOLE TROLLING LURE

The Joe Shute 5 oz Big Hole Trolling Lure is a staple among offshore anglers chasing tuna, marlin, mahi-mahi, and wahoo. Designed with an enlarged line-through opening, this “Big Hole” model allows for quick rigging and smooth line movement, reducing friction and wear during high-speed trolling. The 5 oz head weight keeps your bait tracking perfectly, even at elevated speeds or in rough sea conditions.

This lure maintains a stable, upright swimming position and enhances the natural action of your ballyhoo or soft plastic trailer. The ½″ ballyhoo spring opening at the rear locks your bait firmly in place—no slipping, spinning, or washing out—making it a reliable choice for long days offshore.

Each lure is hand-tied with high-flash mylar skirts that produce vibrant reflection and life-like motion in the water, helping trigger aggressive strikes from pelagic predators. Whether you’re rigging a classic pin-rig setup or running pin-less ballyhoo, the Joe Shute 5 oz Big Hole Lure delivers unmatched versatility and professional-grade performance.
