MagBay Lures Original Phoenix Marlin Lure – Pelagic Trolling, Magic Purple

Overview

Meet the MagBay Lures Original Phoenix Marlin lure in the striking Magic Purple. This 10 inch pelagic trolling lure is designed to perform across oceans, delivering an eye catching silhouette and a lifelike water entry that can entice big game fish. The lure features a keel weighted head for stable tracking and a profile that imitates fast moving bait, making it a versatile choice for both seasoned captains and weekend anglers exploring new water.

What this lure brings to your spread

• Targets Marlin, Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, and Dorado with a single, flexible lure
• Keel Weighted Heads deliver stable tracking in a variety of chop conditions
• 10 inches in length offers a commanding presence without overpowering lighter tackle
• Designed to run fast when paired with a trolling weight to create a lively wake

Ocean wide versatility

Originally built to perform in the Gulf, Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic, this Phoenix lure has become a popular option for multi ocean trolling spreads. The Magic Purple finish catches light differently as depth and sun angle change, helping the lure remain visible across water colors from crystal blue to emerald green. Its motion suggests a darting baitfish as it shimmies and dives, encouraging follows and strikes from curious predators during long trolling runs.

Real life usage and setup ideas

On long offshore trips, captains report that the lure works well as part of a balanced spread that includes both deep and surface baits. The lure's action can complement faster trolling cadences, and it pairs well with traditional and heavier trolling weights to achieve the desired depth and wake. This combination may help you cover more water and test different bite windows.

Tips for best results

• Run at a 6–9 knot trolling speed to balance lure action with bite responsiveness
• Pair with an appropriate trolling weight to control depth and wake
• Place in your spread where fish are actively feeding; experiment with lead lengths

As with any lure, results depend on water conditions, current, and fish mood. The Original Phoenix Marlin lure offers a flexible, high visibility option that may help you widen your trolling repertoire while remaining focused on thoughtful, fish friendly strategies.
