Sinking Lure SEA FALCON Slow Squid - 150 g - 18 cm

Product strengths

The Sea Falcon Slow Squid lure is a castable stickbait designed to realistically imitate an injured squid. On the retrieve it behaves like a lively stickbait, capable of provoking spectacular surface strikes, then during pauses it slowly sinks horizontally, like an agonized prey. This combination of powered retrieves and gliding falls makes the Slow Squid an extremely versatile tuna lure.

Its greatest asset is allowing deep fishing where other castable lures struggle to reach the fish layer. When chases are brief or tuna hold a few meters below the surface, this squid lure for tuna effectively combs the water column while retaining excellent control of the lure during the fall. It is aimed at demanding anglers who want a reliable tool to target large pelagic predators at sea.

Technical specifications

• The Slow Squid is a hard castable lure faithfully imitating the silhouette of a squid, with a slim profile that cuts through the air and facilitates long-distance casts.
• Its action combines a stickbait swimming motion during pulls and a slow horizontal descent during pauses, reproducing the behavior of a weakened cephalopod—particularly enticing for tunas.
• The lure's balance is engineered to remain stable during the fall, reducing tangles and offering a natural presentation even in rough seas.
• Its detailed finish and sculpted volumes reinforce the illusion of a living squid, making it a high-performance saltwater lure for selective fish.
• The body is made from a robust material able to withstand the stresses of heavy fishing and repeated attacks from large predators.
• This model is designed to be used with reinforced rigging, suitable for casting tuna and for targeting other powerful marine predators.

Benefits and key features

By choosing this Sea Falcon Slow Squid tuna lure, the angler gains a tool designed to exploit tunas' natural behaviors. The slow horizontal fall gives the fish time to inspect the lure and strike without suspicion, significantly increasing hookups, especially when fish are wary or heavily pressured.

Its ability to explore hard-to-reach zones just above colder water layers or submerged structure allows it to trigger fish that do not aggressively surface. Used in combination with other surface lures, the Slow Squid becomes a major asset to cover all depth levels during an offshore or coastal fishing session.

Finally, its versatile animation makes it an excellent choice for anglers alternating between fast retrieves, sharp pulls and marked pauses. Whether targeting chasing tunas, frigate tuna, trevally or other pelagic predators, this deep casting lure keeps an attractive and readable action even at long range.

How to use

To get the best from the Slow Squid, use a powerful rod suited for heavy fishing and a reliable reel capable of handling big runs. After casting, let the lure land on the water and begin with a few meters of steady retrieve to bring it alive on the surface, like a classic stickbait.

Then alternate short, sharp pulls with pauses of varying length. During these pauses, let the lure sink horizontally while keeping slight contact with the line to feel strikes during the fall. This gliding fall is often the decisive moment when tunas and other predators hit.

Adjust pause length to the targeted depth and the day's conditions: short pauses when fish are feeding high, longer ones when they are holding deeper. Don't hesitate to adapt your action depending on current strength and observed activity. Used this way, the Slow Squid becomes a reference squid lure for systematically exploring the water column.

FAQ

Question 1: Is the Slow Squid reserved for tuna or can it target other species?

Answer: This lure was designed for tuna fishing, but its realistic squid imitation and slow horizontal fall also make it an excellent choice for other opportunistic marine predators such as trevallies, frigate tuna or various pelagic fish that feed on cephalopods.
