What is a good lure, size and color, for white marlin ??? I know hoos/witches are productive, I was wondering what else works? Any recommendations are appreciated!

If you are going to put a lure in front of a natural bait for a white, I would recommend something relatively small. Here is a photo of one of our little bullet baits. It's only 5" in length and has excellent action without being intimidating. I have several captains who will use our little Screamer skirts that the kingfishermen use to dress up a small ballyhoo in lieu of a larger lure.

Marlin Magic Infant Blue. Everything likes it. An Ahi-P jet too.
my color choice would depend on where in the world I pull it. the usual colors should work for you--whatever you find success with on your seawitches, etc....
