i think moldcrafts offer the best bang for the buck. the wide range in the Sr. size and the Bobby Brown's are my favorites. Joy yee's SP's are also very good in the local waters.

if you are looking for the big man in the blue suite go with the black barts abaco prowler.

just my $.02

PM if you want more info....

Black Bart lures are AMAZING lures.....they are more expensive but worth every penny when that blue or white pops up in the spread. We too have also had great success with the Moldcraft WideRange, black with pink insert trolled in the mousetrap position.

Blue and White ilander with a horse ballyhoo.

Also, some people say "you aint Marlin fishing if you aint got a Joe Yee Super plunger in the spread".

yes i have seen only a few of these lures but they seem to be made with high quality materials. they defo do the job

Scuba Steve · 08-15-2005, 08:51 AM

Ya they def. do the job!!! I was trolling offshore of key largo yesterday and we were looking for a blue so we trolled larger lures and found him late in the day. He came up and hit a black bart Super Pro Jet.(blue/white) He wasnt huge but 100-115lbs i'd guess....it was great for my buddies first marlin!
