Buku Octopus 5.5in Skirted Lure

The Buku Octopus 5.5in provides increased visual presence and attraction for targeting larger gamefish species across Australian offshore waters, offering a substantial profile that appeals to trophy-sized pelagics and aggressive reef predators. This larger skirted lure features the same durable yet flexible material as smaller models, maintaining exceptional action even when trolled at higher speeds or worked aggressively through deep structure. Glitter flecks throughout the skirt material generate substantial underwater flash visible from extended distances, drawing fish into the spread whilst the prominent eye provides a strike-triggering focal point. The extended octopus-style tentacles create dramatic undulating movement that effectively mimics larger squid and octopus species—primary forage for big marlin, tuna, and dolphinfish. Field-tested extensively in Australian conditions, the 5.5-inch profile suits applications where increased lure size triggers aggressive responses from larger specimens or when baitfish schools consist of bigger individual forage items. Easy to customise and rig for specific trolling applications, this substantial skirt pairs effectively with larger bullet heads, slant heads, and pusher-style lure heads for corner and rigger positions in bluewater spreads.
