Description
Zacatak’s hottest new lure profile is the Thunderstruck trolling lure. The goal from the outset was to design a lure unlike any other. What followed was the evolution of a game fishing lure fusing the characteristics of slant head and cup face pusher lures.
A distinct visual lure, the Thunderstruck is extremely erratic in action. It breaths and smokes like a pusher, but then dives either left or right in an unpredictable pattern. The Thunderstruck trolling lure is available in sizes Small 9″, Medium 11.5″ and Large 14.5″.
Large Thunderstruck
- Head Diameter: 48mm / 1.9″
- Skirted Length: 14.5″
- Recommended Tackle Class: Medium / Heavy
- Recommended Hooks: 10/0
When choosing your lure it is important to consider what class of tackle you will be fishing. Generally, the lighter the tackle, the smaller the lures you will want to run in your spread.
Light Tackle
- Line Class: 15kg / 30lb
- Leader: Up to 200lb
Medium Tackle
- Line Class: 24kg / 50lb
- Leader: Up to 300lb
Heavy Tackle
- Line Class: 37kg / 80lb
- Leader: 300lb & Above
Note: This is a guide only and you may choose to fish with lighter or heavier tackle depending on your target species.
Line class:Â The rated strength of your fishing line. For example, 15lb line will break when 15lbs of pressure is applied through a length of line.
Leader:Â Length of monofilament line that connects your main fishing line to the lure.

HARD HEAD
A tougher option, for strength and longevity
Preferred by many game fishing ‘traditionalists’, the theory with hard head lures is that attacking game fish will more easily slide down the hard shiny surface of the lure, onto the skirts and over the hook. It could also be argued that hard heads are more durable and less prone to being scratched or cut by toothy pelagics like wahoo, mackeral and dogtooth tuna, maintaining their clear finish for longer.
