Joe Shute Ballyhoo Skirts are a staple for tuna fishermen in the Northeast. These lures are the top choice to be used as a skirt for ballyhoo rigging to help a ballyhoo run properly and give it added flash and color in the water. The “Lantern” (featuring a “sea witch” style head, and a rubber under-skirt) is absolutely deadly on Mahi-Mahi, but also works well for tuna.

These are now available in 3 oz, 5-3/4 oz., and 8 oz. sizes due to popular demand for targeting larger tunas with select and horse size ballyhoo.

If you choose to have this lure rigged by our team of professionals, you have the option for either pin-rigged (for “rubber band” use), or wire-rigged with 12-14″ of rigging wire out of the crimp. You have a choice of monofilament and fluorocarbon rigging options as well!The PRO SERIES features an extra long 20 foot fluorocarbon leader, with a Wind-On Swivel, and an Owner Jobu Hook.
