Product Overview:

Up for auction is a premium, highly effective tournament weapon from Big T Lures. Handcrafted by generations of master builders in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, the Transkei Bullet is an elite straight-runner renowned globally for its stable, high-speed fish-raising capability.

It runs quietly just beneath the surface to create a tight, unbroken "black water ripple" and a dense underwater smoke trail that calling game fish track from immense distances.
