Offshore Trolling

Offshore trolling is one of the most effective ways to target pelagic species in open water. By covering large areas and presenting baits at precise speeds and depths, anglers can locate and catch tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, kingfish, and marlin. Success comes from finding productive water, matching local forage, and maintaining consistent lure action throughout the spread.

What you need for Offshore Trolling

  • Rod

    Offshore trolling rods are built to handle heavy drag pressures, large lures, and powerful saltwater fish. Medium-heavy to extra-heavy rods with moderate actions help absorb violent strikes while maintaining pressure during extended battles.

    • 5'6"–7'0" MH–XH Power
    • Moderate Action
  • Reel

    Offshore trolling reels prioritize line capacity, drag performance, and durability. Lever drag and high-capacity conventional reels allow anglers to effectively target powerful offshore species while maintaining smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight.

    • Size 10-130
    • Lever Drag
    • High Line Capacity
  • Lure

    Offshore trolling spreads often include skirted trolling lures, diving plugs, cedar plugs, feathers, and rigged natural baits. These presentations are designed to imitate fleeing baitfish and trigger aggressive strikes from predators feeding near the surface or throughout the water column.

    • 4"–12" Lures
    • Skirted Trolling Baits
