How to work it
The Fanboy is a trolled game lure designed for deployment in the spread behind a moving boat.
Its violent head-shaking action and large 330 mm profile make it effective in both short corner and rigger positions, where it tracks true even in heavy water conditions.
Set it on appropriate leader (300-400 lb) and allow the boat's forward motion to drive the lure's aggressive action. Target serious pelagics that respond to high-profile, hard-running presentations in the spread.
Which colour, and when
