Marlin Lures ?

eyefish2good · 10-04-2008, 09:52 AM

I'm kinda new to this forum and would like a little info from the serious Marlin trollers! What size is your basic marlin lure, shape(cup,flat,slant) and do you like weight in it? Also, do you like rattles in them? Here is a picture of one I just finished. It has a large jet on top and 2 smaller jets on bottom. Outside diameter is 2" wide and about 2.5" decorated length.Overall L.- 3.75.

I've never been marlin fishing so most of my info comes second hand and from magazines. I appreciate all comments and thoughts on this matter, Marcus.

There is some GREAT lure threads in the Melton International section of this forum that will be a wealth of knowledge for you.

Nice looking head for a beginner.
