This tuna lure stands out for its ability to provoke violent strikes when fish are actively feeding in mid-water or chasing near the surface.

Technical specifications

Advantages and strengths

The greatest asset of the Super Surger is its versatility. It can be used both for fast prospecting of large areas and for working a localized feeding zone. Its effective action entices active tunas, but also other pelagics such as jacks, amberjacks or exotic species that respond well to quick animations. This saltwater lure maintains excellent line feel, allowing constant contact with the action and immediate detection of subtle bites. Its ability to remain visible and attractive in rough water makes it a valuable ally for outings in challenging conditions.

For anglers seeking a reliable, technical tuna and pelagics lure, the Super Surger offers an excellent balance between ease of use and performance. It is suitable for experienced anglers as well as enthusiasts looking to step up, thanks to its intuitive handling and an action that works from the very first casts.

Usage tips

The Super Surger SMITH reveals its full potential when paired with a powerful rod and a robust reel, spooled with high-strength braided line, appropriate for tuna fishing at sea. It is particularly suited to fast cast-and-retrieve animations, punctuated by bursts of speed, short pauses or tempo changes to trigger tentative follows. Depending on fish activity, it can be retrieved at very high speed to imitate a panicked prey, or at a steadier pace to search a feeding area.

From a boat, cast beyond the bust-ups and retrieve across or behind the school to intersect predator paths. From shore, it covers distant marks effectively thanks to its superb aerodynamics. Regularly check split rings and hooks as well as the lure's surface to maintain performance and longevity. Rinsing in fresh water after each outing will extend the life of this lure for tuna and large pelagics.
