Blue Mullet lure from Rapala

This lure from Rapala is bound to do well. Known as the CD MBMU (Blue Mullet), it's got what it takes: having a tight shimmying action; an adjustable diving bib that can be tuned to allow the lure to travel at speeds of up to 10 knots; plenty of chrome flash on the sides for enhanced fish-attracting qualities; heavy-duty hooks and split rings for unfailing reliability; and it’s coloured blue on top — just like a pilchard.

It won’t matter what you target, as almost everything likes to eat pilchards, including: kingfish, kahawai, albacore, yellowfin, bluefin and slender tuna, salmon, snapper, and so on.  Just choose the size of CD Blue Mullet that suits the fish you’re aiming for, and away you go.
