Lee Lur Custom Lures are highly collectible, vintage big-game trolling lures that were manufactured in Destin, Florida during the 1980s and 1990s.
While it's a common misconception in vintage tackle circles to assume the maker was an individual named "Lee," the company was actually registered and run by Richard Groth along with his team (including James and Joel Groth) out of Tarpon Street in Destin.
The Lee Lur Jetted Bullet is an elite, highly collectible variant of the legendary 1980s and 1990s Florida offshore lineup. While Lee Lur’s standard cup-faced and slanted "Swimmer" designs are highly popular, the Jetted Bullet shape was engineered strictly for high-speed tracking and stealth.
Because of its scarcity and specialized design, an authentic, original Lee Lur Jetted Bullet in excellent condition is highly valued on the secondary market, typically commanding between $135 and $175+ for a bare head.
Design and Action of the Jetted Bullet
- The Bullet Profile: The head features a symmetrical, streamlined nose that tapers down to a point. Unlike flat or angled faces that wobble and splash, a bullet profile cuts through the ocean with virtually zero water resistance. It is built to ride straight, fast, and completely sub-surface.
- Custom Glass or Metal Jet Tubes: The defining feature of this model is the custom tubes bored completely through the clear resin head. As the lure is trolled, water forces its way through the front of the head and blasts out through the side "gills." This creates a dense, continuous "smoke trail" of white bubbles. It gives a small, silent profile lure a massive visual presence that fish can easily track through a chaotic wake.
- The "Shotgun" Specialty: Because it tracks perfectly straight and never jumps or flies out of the water, it was the ultimate choice for the shotgun position (the furthest line back in the spread, run off the highest center rigger). It could be trolled at extremely high speeds—even over 12 to 15 knots—without rolling over or tangling.
