The purple one has landed a few Dodo's, but no marlin. Actually, the only two that have had marlin strikes are the green/white and the soft head green (2nd & 3rd from the left). Both marlin were came unbuttened before I could leader them. Though, one was real close.

da purple softhead wide range is not the shiniest/prettiest lure but it sure does work  I am always amazed how few people run it regularly on Oahu in Kona it is a staple on charter boats - it is also cheap and easily replaced compared with some of the ones that are shined up like jewels...

That lure has a reputation like no other and I am surprised they are not used more here as well.

I actually got my only tournament winning marlin (500+) and my biggest marlin (900+) on that same lure, only thing that changed was da leader.

Every year I get at least 1 ahi on it. It holds very well in rough water and looks every bit as good in calm. Don't leave the dock with out them!
Cheers

I have seen to many guys back off the gas to early.
