Anybody ever try these realistic replicas on Kona blues/ahi ? They have an aku model thats supposed to swim pretty good.

Probably better as a teaser, pretty difficult for it to get nervous when a predator shows up.

Somebody here tried the mahi softbait by making a daisy chain teaser. Apparently the ono loved them because they all came back missing the tail ends. Quick way to blow $110+.

If we didn't have Wahoo here guys would be more into it, but we've had people do well in the Porpoise schools here with them and we get a lot of people buying them in Kona, HI and taking them to Oahu and doing well....

Most popular trend I've seen is guys using rigged Ballyhoo behind jets...We've just imported a bunch of Bionic bait from FLA that really hold up and can be trolled at 8 knots...And if a Wahoo (ONO) bites it in half it's only $2.00 ea. Vs. $39.99..
