One of Mold Craft's great standbys, the Hooker, comes in three sizes and is one of the most successful trolling lures ever developed. The traditional-style fat, blunt head and blind holes in the face really throw up some water and its short length doesn't get in the way of an attacking billfish.

The Senior Hooker measures 27 centimetres overall and has big marlin written all over it, while the Standard Hooker measures 20 centimetres in length and is an incredibly versatile size for many species of game fish. It's an excellent striped marlin lure both here and overseas, but don't be surprised if blue marlin show a murderous enthusiasm for it.
