About this lure

The Fatboy Lures Maverick Pre-Rigged is a highly versatile skirted trolling lure designed to dominate the New Zealand game fishing scene. Built with a signature cupped face and double-taper profile, this lure generates a strong head shake and a dense bubble trail that triggers aggressive strikes from surface-feeding pelagics. Whether you are stocking the freezer with Skipjack Tuna or targeting Albacore and small Kingfish, the Maverick delivers consistent performance in both calm and rough waters.

Pre-Rigged Convenience – Comes professionally rigged with high-quality leader and hooks, ready to deploy straight from the packet.
Aggressive Action – The cupped face and double-taper head design create a seductive wiggle and thick smoke trail to attract predators.
Versatile Trolling Speed – Swims perfectly between 4–12 knots, allowing it to run in various positions within your spread.
Perfect Bait Size – At 5.5 inches, the skirt profile matches common NZ baitfish, making it irresistible to Skipjack, Albacore, and Kahawai.
Durable Construction – Features a chip-resistant resin head and premium skirts to withstand repeated strikes from toothy game fish.

How to work it

The Maverick is a skirted trolling lure deployed in your spread at trolling speeds of 4-12 knots. The lure runs at the surface with a seductive wiggle, working best in both calm and rough water.

Position it on the long corner, short corner, or shotgun depending on sea state and bite activity; the cupped face generates a strong head shake and dense bubble trail that attracts surface-feeding pelagics.

Pair it with game-class rod and reel, and monitor the spread for strikes from Skipjack Tuna, Albacore, and Kahawai.
