Bonze - Fireball
About this lure
The Fireball is a scaled-up version of the legendary Grimmel tube — built for big fish and big moments. On its very first run with Captain Simon Brown of High Flier Sportfishing Kona, it landed a 729lb blue marlin. Enough said.
Skirted Length: 430mm / 17”
Hook Size: 11/0 – 12/0
Leader Size: 600lb
Replacement Skirt: Bonze BS14
Serious size, proven results — the Fireball is made to do damage in the spread.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Fireball is a large skirted game lure designed for trolling in the spread behind a moving boat.
Deploy it on the long corner, short corner, or shotgun positions at trolling speed, allowing the skirt to work naturally in the boat's wake. Its floating design keeps it riding on the surface where big pelagics hunt.
Work the spread methodically, maintaining consistent boat speed and monitoring rod tension for strikes.
Which colour, and when
BrasiliaRed and black reads as a bold, high-contrast attractor in bright, choppy water.
EpicDark silhouette with abalone flash - the pick for flat, calm, clear conditions.
