About this lure

Splashy Surface Commotion with Balanced Tracking

The C-4 Tube is a high-action lure with a tube-style head and subtle scoop, creating erratic splashes and strong bubble output. Internally keel-weighted for stability, it stays planted while producing just the right chaos to provoke reaction strikes. Its vibrant action mimics panicked baitfish—especially deadly on tuna and striped marlin.

Target Species: Tuna, mahi-mahi, striped and blue marlin
Action: Splashy, erratic skips with a strong smoke trail
Rigging Options: Available rigged or unrigged

Recommended Spread Positions:

6.5"Long Rigger or Shotgun: Lively surface skitter for wary pelagics

8.5"Long Rigger: Mid-range surface chaos, perfect for raising billfish

10.5"Long Corner: Big, noisy attraction close in, ideal for marlin or large tuna

The C-4 Tube adds flash and energy to any spread, with consistent performance even when the seas get messy.

How to work it

The C-4 Tube is a surface trolling lure designed to be deployed in a spread behind a moving boat.

Deploy the 6.5" size on the long rigger or shotgun position for a lively surface skitter that appeals to wary pelagics; use the 8.5" on the long rigger for mid-range surface chaos to raise billfish; and position the 10.5" on the long corner for maximum noise and attraction close to the boat, ideal for marlin and large tuna.

The tube-style head with subtle scoop generates erratic splashes and strong bubble output that mimics panicked baitfish, triggering reaction strikes. Its internal keel weighting keeps it stable and planted on the surface even in rough seas, maintaining consistent performance throughout the spread.
