WWT Saltwater Skirted Trolling Unrigged Lure GREEN MACHINE 12”
The Green Machine is a classic offshore trolling lure which tempts virtually every pelagic in the ocean.
Some lures earn epic success through the years and become true classics, and for many offshore trollers, the Green Machine tops the list of immortal winners.
Pull a Green Machine in the spread and it will get bit by every species of tuna as well as billfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo and virtually every predator sitting at the top of the food chain.For tuna species Green Machine is no doubt recognise as No1 trolling lure.
They perform best at speeds of six to eight knots, appearing rather flat at slower speeds. They’re also too light to troll much faster, or they begin skimming on the surface with vastly reduced action.
Once trolling at an appropriate speed, a single-rigged Green Machine will provide plenty of action on its own, especially when rigged with the lighter leaders we talked about earlier. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t increase their effectiveness a bit. When the bite is slow, jigging the rod rhythmically will give a single Green Machine some extra zig and zag. Don’t jig too hard or it can skip, don’t jig a lure on a spreader bar or with a bird rig.
Another interesting oddity about the Green Machine is that it usually seems to perform best when there’s a bit of distance between the boat and the lure. It doesn’t shine as a flat-line bait. The Green Machine likes the long rigger and shotgun positions.
Use it as single lure,chase bait,daisy chain or spread bar teaser lure.
If you haven’t towed this classic producer in the past, give it a shot.
