Tuna Lures
11 luresK2 Fishing tuna trolling lures are built for blackfin, yellowfin and bluefin tuna offshore.
Most tuna spreads fish best at 6.5–8.5 knots, with bullet heads running clean up to 10 knots.
Each lure is hand-poured resin with real abalone flash and rigged in the USA, so it tracks straight, throws a tight smoke trail and holds up to repeated strikes.
Choosing tuna trolling lures
Match lure size to the tuna you are targeting. Small 7–8" lures are ideal for blackfin and school yellowfin. Medium ~10" bullet heads cover mixed spreads, and large 15" resin lures are built for big yellowfin and bluefin.
Proven tuna colors include blue/white, purple/black, pink and natural bait patterns.

What customers are saying after a day on the water with K2.
"Best lures I've used offshore. Dropped one near a weed line and had a mahi on within minutes. Solid construction and the colors stay vibrant even after a hard day on the water."
“Had a great day last week running the Strikers. We put out the blue and the Pink Flamingo, and both of our wahoo came on the pink lure. Had two in the boat by 10 a.m. Definitely earned a permanent spot in the spread.”
“Saw these lures in a YouTube video and decided to give them a try. The abalone finish is even brighter in person than it looked on camera. They're honestly some of the nicest-looking trolling lures I've owned, and they fish just as well as they look.”
“Landed a nice blackfin on the 7.5-inch lure. It held up well and ran perfectly all day. Really happy with the quality and performance.”
“These worked really well for us fishing the humps. They tracked great and got plenty of attention. I'll definitely be ordering a few more colors.”
“Trolled the Striker along some weed lines and the mahi absolutely crushed it. Ended up getting multiple bites, and the lure still looks great after the trip. I'll be fishing these a lot more.”
Tuna lure FAQ
Tuna questions.
Answered.
Quick answers on choosing and trolling tuna lures.
View All FAQsWhat are the best lures for tuna trolling?
Bullet and resin-head lures in the 7–10 inch range that track straight and throw a tight smoke trail. The Striker, Senator and Blackfin Bullet are our go-to tuna lures. Blue/white, purple/black and pink are proven colors.
What size lure is best for blackfin tuna?
Blackfin feed on small bait, so 6–8 inch lures like the Blackfin Bullet, Senator and Tracker get the most bites. Keep the profile small and the action clean.
What lures work for yellowfin tuna?
School yellowfin eat 7–10 inch lures like the Senator and Striker. For bigger yellowfin, step up to a 15" lure like the Cruiser and run it in the clean water of the long rigger or shotgun.
How fast should I troll for tuna?
Most tuna spreads work best at 6.5–8.5 knots. Bullet heads like the Striker and Speeder stay clean up to 10 knots. See our trolling lure speed chart for details.
Where should I run tuna lures in my spread?
Put stable bullet heads in the corners where prop wash is strongest and more active lures on the riggers. Tuna often hit the lures closest to the boat, so keep your short positions tight.
How durable are K2 Fishing lures?
Our lures are built to withstand repeated strikes, offshore conditions, UV exposure, and extended use while maintaining performance.
How should I care for my offshore lures?
Rinse lures with fresh water after every trip, inspect hooks and leaders regularly, and store them in a dry location away from direct sunlight.
