I live in California but will be fishing Cancun in July so I’m gonna try to make some of these. I’m buying 80 lb wire. What size crimps would be the correct size for 80lb wire?
What is the inside diameter of the surgical tubing Thank you for your reply.
Now that I'm back home you show us haha.

Good luck with the lure. I would have liked to have found something cheaper than buying the lure tube. Remember, the bend in the tube is what gives it action.
Hi And what would be the diameter on that tube? Thanks Chris
What is the material of the water pipe used for the lure?
Where we can buy this kind of tube?
Is it suitable for large king mackerel or amberjack as well?
Hi thanks so much for this informative video! I am heading to Cancun in a few months and would like to make a few of these cuda lures to take with. What size swivels and treble hook are you using to make these with? Is there a color you prefer? I noticed sea striker makes the surgical tubing in pink, yellow and green.

I use yellow and green, but I don't think it really makes much of a difference. I don't remember the size of the swivel, but as they is a spinning lure, you want to use a good swivel. Plus, depending on the size that you are targeting, the bites can be really viscious. For the Trebles, I pulled them off of other lures so not sure of the sizing. Kind of need to match the size of the Cudas that you will be getting into. They have big mouths and are tough so I go fairly large.
what speed should I be ging at if I'm using them for trolling from a boat ?
Just had a seastriker cost me what was probably my PB cuda today due to a poor crimp
Hİ This is a tube of rubber tube to keep the yellow colored fish we use How many dollars How many meters long Do you have your choice as Brand company which country product
Catch anything beside cuda on this?

Sì, sarebbe grande lavoro su Bluefish. È possibile ridimensionato le dimensioni un po ', ma sono proprio come barracuda. Il diametro interno è circa 9,5 mm.
Do you think a paddle kayak would troll these fast enough to be effective?

+Kayak Chris I don't think they are very productive trolling. It is more of a flats, inshore spot casting lure. A lot of work blind casting although targeting white sand patches is the best way to utilize them (outside of target casting). Since the water tends to be skinny, you would be running right over them as you troll. Barracuda are pretty skittish so would probably give them lock jaw.

miamiwax think of the first hook as a joint between two steel leaders.
What are these supposed to resemble
@KeyWestKayakFishing

The way they work is that they spin/wobble through the water. From below, it gives the effect of a snake slithering on the ground. It is supposed to resemble the local Needlefish. It actually does look like a snake going through the water as it spins. That is why it is important to have a sort of bend to it rather than being perfectly straight. The color is because Cuda's bite on instinct and aggression.

I looked for stainless steel shielded wire but all that came up was single strand. Can I still use crimps with single strand? I'm not much of a knot guy. If not, where do I get the shielded wire.

Yea, you can use crimps. Tackle shops by saltwater should carry it. It is called 7-strand or 49 strand coated wire. You do want to use the multi strand as they are flexible and won't kink. The bend in the tube is important for the spin.
What is the name of that tube

I bought like a 10 ft roll of that tubing. It was sold by the same company that makes the pre-made tube lures. I think Sea Striker. They were the only ones that had it in the bright colors. You can get regular surgical tubing and even in some colors, but they are not very bright.

1/2 a 1 oncia seconda delle dimensioni del tubo. Basta modo che si adatti perfettamente nel tubo. È possibile aggiungere più di aggiungere peso per ulteriori casting.
