Description
Lead Masters Hoochie Squid Skirts are 5-inch unrigged squid skirts for saltwater trolling, designed to be customized by the angler for a wide range of species and rig configurations. The soft squid skirt body and tentacle action on the troll make hoochies one of the most versatile and proven trolling lure styles for Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, and other pelagic species. Because they are unrigged, you can rig them on your preferred hook, leader, and hardware to match your target species and trolling setup. 5 per pack. Available in 7 colors including a Glow Red option for low-light and deep water applications.
Key Features
- 5″ Squid Skirt Profile — Versatile Trolling Action — The 5-inch body length matches the profile of small squid and baitfish that Tuna, Salmon, and other pelagic species key on; the soft skirt tentacles flutter and pulse on the troll, producing a lifelike squid swimming action at a wide range of trolling speeds; effective from slow salmon trolling speeds (2–3 knots) through faster tuna trolling speeds (5–8 knots).
- Unrigged — Fully Customizable — The hoochie skirts are unrigged, allowing the angler to rig them on their preferred hook size, leader material, and hardware; rig on a single hook for salmon, a double hook for tuna, or thread onto a jig head for a weighted presentation; the unrigged format also allows the skirts to be used as trailers on existing lures and jigs.
- 7 Colors Including Glow Red — Pink Blue, Purple/Black, Silver Blue, Yellow/Blue, Yellow/Orange, Green/Black, and Glow Red; the Glow Red option charges under UV light for low-light and deep water trolling applications where a luminescent skirt provides a visibility advantage.
- 5 Per Pack — Five skirts per pack; provides multiple skirts for rigging different hook configurations or replacing skirts that are damaged during fishing.
