About this lure

The Diesel is a scaled-down version of the legendary Violator — compact, punchy, and deadly effective. With its scalloped face, it’s got just the right amount of wiggle to grab attention and trigger bites.

A proven performer off the rigger, this little lure holds its own in any spread.

Skirted Length: 270mm / 10.5”
Hook Size: 8/0 – 9/0
Leader Size: 200lb – 400lb
Replacement Skirt: Bonze BS7

Small in size, big on results — the Diesel gets bit.

How to work it

The Diesel is trolled in a spread behind a moving boat, typically deployed on an outrigger or long corner position.

Its scalloped face creates a compact wiggle that attracts fish at the surface. Maintain steady trolling speed and let the lure work naturally in the wash; the 270mm profile and skirted design generate sufficient action to trigger strikes.

Pair with 200-400 lb leader and appropriate game fishing tackle to handle solid takes.
