Product Overview

The TopShot is a subsurface casting lure built for surface-feeding bluefin tuna. At 70 grams it loads a casting rod for long bombs to busting schools, then swims slightly below the surface and walks side to side on the retrieve — the erratic, wounded-baitfish action that triggers explosive strikes when tuna are finicky and line-shy.

Designed and tested in the bluefin grounds off Southern California, the TopShot comes in two proven California baitfish colors — Sardine and Anchovy — to match the bait tuna are keyed on. It's rigged and ready out of the box with Mustad 5x 1/0 treble hooks and a 250 lb thru-wire that runs eye-to-hooks, so when a 100-plus-pound bluefin eats it, the connection holds.

Product Detail

A subsurface stickbait like the TopShot is one of the most effective casting lures for surface-feeding bluefin tuna. Its 70-gram weight allows long casts to reach busting schools, and its side-to-side walking action just below the surface imitates a fleeing sardine or anchovy — the presentation that draws strikes when bluefin are pressured or line-shy.

Cast past or in front of a feeding school and retrieve with a steady reel or a reel-and-pause cadence. The TopShot swims on its own and walks side to side, so focus on retrieve speed rather than rod work. Vary speed until the tuna commit, burn it to cover water, then pause to let it sink when fish are following.

Match the bait the tuna are feeding on. The TopShot comes in Sardine and Anchovy, the two dominant California baitfish, so you can match the hatch whether tuna are pushing sardines on top or keyed on smaller anchovies.

The TopShot is rigged with Mustad 5x 1/0 treble hooks and built on a 250 lb thru-wire that connects the line tie directly to the hooks. This eye-to-hook wire construction is what lets it stand up to big bluefin without the body pulling apart.

The TopShot weighs 70 grams, sized specifically for long casting distance. That weight lets you reach feeding schools that stay out of range of lighter lures, a key advantage when bluefin are spooky and won't let the boat get close.
