Special note from Capt Andy LoCascio:
“The 8 inch version of this lure is my FIRST choice when targeting big yellowfin tuna. I always travel with several lures in a variety of colors.
Honestly, I really don’t focus very much on selecting the best color, they all seem to work well when it comes to yellowfin. Achieving maximum casting distance is critical and at nearly 5 ounces this lure is perfect for the heaviest spinning tackle.
The smaller size (2 1/2 ounces) is more suited for targeting inshore fish on lighter tackle which would typically be over-powered by the larger size.”
