About this lure

The Bonze El Matador Game Lure is built to make noise, push water, and force reactions from serious offshore predators. Drawing on the proven foundations of the original Kraken, El Matador takes things further with an aggressive cupped face that throws spray, smokes hard, and announces its presence the moment it hits the spread. This is a lure designed to dominate the surface and demand attention.

How to work it

El Matador is a trolled surface lure designed to dominate the spread with aggressive water displacement.

Deploy it on the short corner or off the outrigger at trolling speed, allowing its cupped face to smash the surface and throw spray.

The lure's high-impact presence and explosive action draw offshore predators up from depth through noise and pressure.

Pair it with 300-400 lb leader and heavy-duty game tackle rated for powerful strikes. Use El Matador when you need to wake the spread and provoke reaction bites from serious fish.
