SportFishermen.com is proud to announce the addition of BahamaLure custom lures to our store.

BahamaLure:
Tapping into the thousand year old tradition of the Pacific Islander’s original concept of the trolled lure, BahamaLure
is producing an unique and unmistakable modern equivalent. Using the very latest in modern Hi-Tech equipment and
materials coupled with old school handmade techniques these lures have quickly become some of the most desired
lures today.
Every one of the BahamaLure line was designed and tested in the Bahamas, and has been tuned and balanced to
perfection.


FEATURESEYES
- BahamaLures are designed to mimic squid with their oversized and highly visible eyes. Gamefish can see
the eye at great distances and zero in on it all the way to the bite. The BahamaLure eyes are a high contrast pearl
made in house and give these lures an uncanny ‘live’ appearance. Since developing these eyes the catch rates have
gone wild with numerous reports of marlin and other gamefish repeatedly re-attacking the lure if they miss the first
time.

BALANCE - BahamaLures feature a keel weighting system whereby the counterweight is placed directly below the
center hole. This gives the lures incredible stability, even in the roughest sea conditions they will remain upright and
will not roll. There are three advantages - a) the lure will not pull on it’s side or upside down, even the symmetrical
heads. Coupled with the big eyes this ensures the lures appear alive at all times, no squid or bait fish swims on it’s
sides. b) Using the lock behind the lure head the hook rig may be set at a desired position with the hook point up,
down, left or right. This is even true of the un-slanted lures and can only be achieved with a keeled lure. c) no line
twist as the lures do not roll over.





CONSTRUCTION - All production BahamaLure components are matched and against their original masters to
ensure they are all first generation reproductions. Though ‘hard’, the resin heads have a softer durometer than glass
and will not split, crack or shatter even when a fish thrashes one against the fish box. The shell decoration is Paua or
oyster shell from Hawaii. All the steps of production are done entirely by hand with every piece receiving equal care
and attention to detail.

COLOR - or a change of color is the basis of BahamaLure’s color schemes. A squid changes color when attacked so
all the lures have more than one color in them to mimic this color shift. The eyes are always a high contrast to the
base head color to ensure they are highly visible. Iridescent pearls make the eyes appear real and three dimensional.

As Alan and myself were woking to make this happen Alan Received these photo's of this young man fishing in Australia



They Fished out of frazer island, australia and the fish was caught on a
JUPITER80



BahamaLure Jupiter
JUPITER has a very slight 4 degree taper giving it a large face area and along with the short body this makes for a very noisy lure in the spread. Awesome short corner lure pulled low from a clip or on the long rigger in calm seas this will be sure to gain some attention!

The lure was actually the teaser Jupiter rigged. Thats one massive lure right there.

BahamaLure Jupiter Teaser
JUPITER TEASER is a teaser that thinks it is a lure, it has a serious presence in the wake and will not go unnoticed. The eyes are huge, bubble trail is huge, the surface pops are huge and bet on this one raising a few Marlin for sure!

BahamaLures are an excellent addition to your store. Many of the features are unique and to my eye and in my experience at least, key to producing a great trolling lure. The fact is that we produce lures with many of the same features, our Cabo Tigers and Gata Gordo's (Fat Cats), that we only produce for our own use and only sell to long term customers who like and insist on them. They aren't even in our catalog. So there is no commercial incentive here on my part. I just know that many of the BahamaLure features are important and that they produce big time results.

Finally, I am also impressed with the fact that these lures are designed and made by an individual who lives where the fish are and who tests them exhaustively while he develops them before offering them up for sale. Those lures come from a great "laboratory" where the best judges of performance, the fish, abound.

Me, I'd drag those babies in a heartbeat!

All good stuff. Good luck with them!

Capt Archer, I am humbled by your post and I thank you. An accolade from you Sir was unexpected, though very much appreciated, to be sure.

I would also like to thank the staff at Sportfishermen.com John, Jer, Tim and Marty who did not have to invite me to their store but did so anyway. I will do everything I can to make it a success one lure at a time!

Hook 'em up!
