Hello,
My name is Kevin Keenan and I am a freelance sport fishing mate.

I've finally found the web site and just wanted to let y'all know that the lure 9 jetT "bleeding mackerel" won the Mobile Big Game club tournament in Orange Beach AL. on Memorial Day 2006.

The fish was a 689lb Blue Marlin and was caught by an 11 year old boy! Also the lure 9jetB "bleeding mackerel" gets chewed to pieces around here!

The lure was purchased at Gulf Breeze Bait and Tackle in Gulf Breeze, Florida


WHAT TO FISH WITH

As we tell our story about LURES INTERNATIONAL, there are some questions that are asked on a daily basis. The number one  question is "Which bait do I use?"  Great question! However, there are many different answers.
 
There are many considerations, including water conditions, time of day, time of year, are you using light tackle or heavy? Then, all fishermen know that we are always worried about time restraints. So the question becomes "How do we maximize our hit ratio?"
 
If you are traveling afar then you should ask a guide or a local tackle shop what is biting and on what. Show them the lures you have with you. I have never been in a tackle shop where the folks don't want to give out information.

Your lure kit should always contain a 9 JET "B" LULU  and either a 9 JET "B" or "T" PURPLE PASSION. medium size bait. They will almost always attract 40lb to 250lb fish. Always keep some smaller lures on hand because you will be surprised as to what they attract.

Keep it simple. Don't change baits every 5 minutes but do troll your lures on both a short line and a long line. Watch your speed over the water. Between 7 to 10 knots will almost always work.

It's been said that if the conditions are right, almost anything will work and while that might be true, you usually don't have the time to wait for perfect conditions or try "anything". Use your time wisely.

If you are after marlin then use any of the 12LB, 12JET, 12M JET, the 12LB LIMITED EDITION or the 12M JET LONG lures. These lures are for big fish and you can run them down the middle of your transom. On the corners use your teasers without hooks. Either use our Fountain Bullets or our Fountain Pen lures.
 
Teasers or daisy chains  are used at the back of the boat and are spread out to attract fish. There are about 6 to 8 lures in the teaser and it is spread out like a big rake. The reason you do not use hooks is that they will foul each other.

And on the topic of "anything goes", if you are ever in Brainerd MN., look up the mayor of Brainerd. He owns the Paul Bunyan park and in his office he has a picture of a large fish being caught on a carrot in Puerto Verdi, Mexico.
