Saltwater Fishing Lures for GT, Tuna & More

Saltwater fishing is tough on gear — the fish hit harder, the water’s rougher, and the conditions will test anything you throw. That’s why your lures need to be up for the challenge. At Cavy Fishing, every lure — whether it’s a handmade stickbait, a popper, or one of our precision hard baits — has been trialled and tested in real saltwater by Adam himself. These aren’t just showroom pieces; they’re lures built to handle the power of giant trevally, tuna, kingfish, snapper, and the rest of the heavy hitters we chase out here.

Handmade vs Hard Baits

There’s something special about fishing a handmade lure. Each one is shaped, painted, and tuned by hand to swim just right. When a GT smashes a popper on the surface, you know you’re using something built with care. Hard baits, on the other hand, are all about consistency. They’re molded for long casts, balanced for clean action, and perfect when you need to cover more water or punch into the wind. Most anglers carry both — handmade lures for that explosive topwater bite, and hard baits when the fish are holding deeper or you need extra distance.

Topwater and Surf Fishing Lures

Few things get the blood pumping like throwing topwater lures into the surf or over a reef edge. Stickbaits and poppers that can cast a mile are essential when you’re trying to reach those feeding zones just beyond the breakers. The splash and commotion they create on the surface is irresistible to kingfish, mackerel, and coral trout. And when that strike comes — it’s pure chaos in the best way possible. That’s what saltwater lure fishing is all about.

Species-Specific Tips

If you’re chasing giant trevally, you’ll want the biggest, toughest lures in your kit. GTs don’t muck around — they’ll demolish anything that looks like food. Large stickbaits and heavy-duty poppers are the go-to, creating a commotion that dares them to strike.

For tuna and mackerel, it’s all about speed and profile. Slimmer hard baits that cast a long way and zip back fast mimic the bait schools they love to crash. You’ll often see them busting up on the surface — that’s your cue to fire a lure right into the mix.

When you’re targeting snapper and reef fish, you don’t always need to go big. Smaller lures with a bit more subtle action are often the key. Cast them along drop-offs, reef edges, or structure and let them swim naturally — that’s when you’ll get the hits.

Trusted by Anglers Worldwide

Every lure in this range has been tested in the same spots you’re probably dreaming of — rocky headlands, tropical reefs, and wide-open surf beaches.
