BahamaLure Charon
CHARON (say Kaa-ron) is a short tube lure, one of the true classic and oldest lure designs. Tube lures have been driving Marlin nuts for decades and this one is no different it accounted for several Marlin over 600# during the 2009 Madiera Marlin summer season. Pull it from the riggers at 7 knots or less.


BahamaLures all feature an oversized and easy to see eye that mimics a squid eye. What pelagic predator doesn't like squid? Since adding this very realistic feature the strike rate of BahamaLures has skyrocketed as it gives the lure and incredibly lifelike appearance. Watching the spread from above, the lures look alive.


Coupled with the big eyes BahamaLures feature a keel weighting system whereby ballast weight is placed only directly below the leader tube, none above. This gives the lures maximum stability and prevents them from rolling. The eyes are held steady looking out to the sides even if the lure head is symmetrically shaped with no slant. The only way to be entirely confident of where the hook's point is placed is with our sytem. It can be set up, down, left or right depending on the lure's position in the spread.
