Product Overview:
Up for auction is a premium custom trolling lure from one of the highest standards in big-game fishing history. Designed by tournament pioneer Captain Erik Rusnak, the Small Gully Boy is a renowned meat-fish and tournament staple. [1, 2]
Best run from the long rigger or long corner positions at 5 to 8 knots, its unique scoop-face pushes a loud surface pop followed by a deep, weaving bubble trail. As it cycles back to the surface, it mimics a skittering, fleeing baitfish with an unstable action that pelagic predators cannot resist. The premium clear resin head takes on the colors of your skirt materials beautifully while offering bulletproof impact resistance.
