Joe Shute Keel Weighted Ballyhoo Skirt - 3oz - Sand Eel Head - Olive/Crystal Skirt
Upgrade your offshore trolling spread with Joe Shute Keel Weighted Ballyhoo Trolling Skirts, engineered to keep your ballyhoo tracking straight and swimming naturally. If you have struggled with spinning baits or ballyhoo running on their side, this keel weighted design solves the problem. Each lure head features a built in keel weight positioned along the bottom to stabilize your bait, reduce spin, and improve presentation. The result is a more natural swimming action that attracts more tuna, dolphin (mahi mahi), wahoo, and other pelagic game fish.
Built to Catch More Tuna
Joe Shute Keel Weighted Ballyhoo Skirts are proven performers for bluefin, yellowfin, bigeye, and longfin tuna. Whether you are trolling inshore lumps or working offshore canyon edges, these trolling skirts paired with a rigged ballyhoo create an irresistible presentation that triggers aggressive strikes. Available in 1oz, 3oz, and 5oz sizes, you can match local baitfish and sea conditions with precision. The versatile 3oz size is a top choice for bluefin, bigeye, and yellowfin tuna trolling. For consistent success, the Candy Apple Red Head with All Crystal Skirt is a customer favorite, especially for inshore bluefin tuna.
Versatile Rigging for Maximum Performance
Designed for flexibility, Joe Shute Keel Weighted Ballyhoo Trolling Skirts offer multiple rigging options to suit your fishing style. The integrated keel weight allows you to rig ballyhoo with or without a chin weight, giving you greater control over bait action. A popular method is running a split bill ballyhoo with the skirt positioned on top of the bait's head. This setup creates an incredibly lifelike swimming motion and allows the lure to run slightly deeper in the water column with a digging like action.
These trolling skirts can also be pin rigged using a rubber band or bait spring if you prefer not to use copper or monel wire. No matter how you rig them, adding Keel Weighted Joe Shute Lures to your trolling spread increases the bait's stability, improves the bait's tracking, and boosts your chances of putting more fish in the box.
