Cockroach Phantom The “mighty” Cockroach works well in all trolling positions, though it is primarily a ‘short position’. The Phantom is an incredibly effective game fishing Lure. Don’t judge it by it’s diminutive size. It is a big fish lure that has won many Sailfish, Black Marlin and BIG Blue Marlin Tournaments. It is primarily a long corner, long rigger and is a legend lure on the shot. Its straight, tight swimming action will continue in any conditions at any speed. Even when the fishing has shut down the Phantom still performs its spell catching lots of fish in waters where no other lures or even live baits are working. It has earned it’s status primarily in the colours Evil Angel, but all the Pakula colours have done very well on the Phantom.

Smoking Jo
The Smoking Jo, is an impressive heavy tackle long corner lure. It has an impressive tight continuous action and long turbulent smoke trail. We have noticed that the statistics on this range of lures known as the Long Shots, have performed particularly well in blue colour combinations. The exception to that is the Smoking Jo in the colour Kona which has become one of the best producing lure of all time for large Striped Marlin in New Zealand waters and Monster Blue Marlin in many places around the globe. The ‘HotHead™’ Smoking Jo has been redesigned so that it will have a continuous action, doing away with the ‘flat spot’ the previous models suffered from. The statistics of the Smoking Jo are approaching the success of the Lumo Sprocket as a heavy tackle lure and with the latest modifications in design and skirt technology we won’t be surprised if it out fishes previous versions of the Pakula Sprocket!

The Pakula Sprocket is a legend, having been listed in the Marlin Magazine top 10 Lures of all time both times the survey has been done. This long rigger lure, particularly in the colours Lumo, has accounted for a great many First Marlin captures, Tournament Wins and the largest fish of the season twice in Cairns. If you are only ever going to take one piece of advice from us then let it be “Run the Lumo Sprocket on the long rigger, and leave it there!” Around half of all the successes on Pakula Lures are with this lure in this position. It may not catch fish for a while, but when it starts working nothing else will come close. Item Code PAPSP40LU PAPSP40EA PAPSP40IU PAPSP40GY

The Pakula Shackle Rig TM was originally invented by Peter Pakula when trolling lures for Blue Marlin were in their on Australia’s East Coast. It was a time when many lures of all types including Pakula prototypes were tried daily. This necessitated a rig that could easily and quickly be transferred between lures and also allowed the lure maximum freedom of action. The Pakula Dojo Peche Shackle Rig TM allows the hooks total freedom to line up with the lures centre eliminating line twist. The hooks are free to swing allowing the lure to exhibit its best possible action without hindrance or keeling effects. This gives the hooks the best possible chance of hooking up as they are able to work independently of each other. Item Code PADSR20 PADSR25 PADSR30 PADSR35 PADSR40

The Pakula Digger® is the latest in a long line of Pakula Innovations specifically designed to put out as much vibration and sound into the water as possible and features the latest and brightest in Lumo® technology.
The Witchdoctor® Teaser was Peter Pakula’s first invention, initially designed for use while trolling live and dead baits, yet after all these years the Pakula Witchdoctor® is now accepted as the best fish exciter for all game fishing trolling applications. At all trolling speeds the Witchdoctor® stays deep below the prop wash, sending out irresistible vibrations, flashing reflected shafts of fluorescent blue and purple light in all directions, and unlike any other teaser, it never comes to the surface to interfere and tangle with trolling lines. Each Pakula Witchdoctor® comes complete with towline and storage bag.
Item Code
The Digger® looks just like a tracking marlin in the water, with lit up peck fins, and is unparalleled as a Fish Attracting Device. One of the best things about this teaser is that it was designed to be easy to store, breaking down in seconds so it fits in it’s own small bag, which is about the same size as a normal lure roll. Each Pakula Digger® comes complete with towline and storage bag.

Boat/Skipper = Harlequin Lure = Pakula Smoking Jo Catch = Grander Blue Marlin
The Boat ‘Superdry’ was out for a days fishing in Waihau Bay when its Pakula ‘Rat’ lure was engulfed by a big blue, the fight was on. After an hour and a half the fish was tagged and estimated out to an incredible 400kg’s and a capture of a lifetime! It was made even more special because the fish was released.
Simon Mills is a recreational Skipper who is no stranger to Big Blues in fact it is his passion. Simon was working his ‘favourite patch’ off Lottin point in late March when his Pakula Bagwan in the shotgun was monstered and the fish headed for the horizon. After an awesome aerial display Simon soon had the Big Blue tagged and released and is his biggest Blue to date. A fish which he conservatively estimated around the 300kg mark.
The capture of the year and the probable recipient of the NZBGFC “Old Man and The Sea Award” fish wasn’t captured till April, but it was well worth the wait. As it proved to be New Zealand’s first Grander Blue on a lure, a Pakula of course, the charter boat Harlequin was fishing the ‘Compass Rose’ a bit of structure half way to the 3 kings. The Compass rose was loaded with bait and had been experiencing an extremely good bite for almost a week. But when the Pakula Smoking Joe was bit no one on board was expecting a ‘Grander’. After an hour and a half the first flying gaff went into the magnificent fish followed by a second and with a bit of elbow grease New Zealand’s first Grander Blue (on a lure) lay in the cockpit.
