Fatboy Lures - Pro 1431
Specifications
About this lure
The FatBoy Pro 1431 is a legend in the big-game community—born from the homemade lure responsible for the heaviest Black Marlin weighed on Australia’s East Coast in the past 50 years. That historic fish tipped the scales at 1431lb on *Too Easy II*, and the FatBoy team worked directly with the crew to recreate the original lure’s exact shape, posture and surface attitude. The 14” model is a true replica of the giant-slayer, while the rest of the range—from the compact 6” mini through to the mid-size offerings—delivers the same explosive action in a spread-friendly range of sizes.

How to fish the Fatboy Lures - Pro 1431
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The FatBoy Pro 1431 is a game lure fished on the troll, towed behind a moving boat in your spread at trolling speed.
Its floating, surface-running attitude produces an aggressive smoke trail and stable tracking at speed, so let the head work the surface as you set your spread.
Because it runs clean across short corner, long corner and shotgun positions, you can place it wherever a gap needs covering.
The 14" model replicates the original giant-slayer's head shape and swim attitude, while the smaller sizes down to the 6" mini deliver the same action for spread-friendly options.
Rig it on heavy-tackle gear suited to bluewater work and match hook and leader to the size you're running.
This lure is built for targeting marlin, tuna and other pelagics on the troll.
