Ahi Cedar Plug Pre-Rigged for Tuna
The cedar plug is one of the most reliable tuna catchers ever built. Ahi takes it a step further with a pre-rigged setup that includes 150 lb fluorocarbon leader, 10/0 Mustad hook, and a brass through-tube that prevents the internal chafing that destroys other cedar plugs. Pull it out of the package and start catching.
- Pre-rigged with 150 lb fluoro and 10/0 Mustad 3412
- Brass through-tube prevents internal chafing
- Prismatic eyes for added attraction
- Multiple killer color options
The Cedar Plug Never Stops Catching Tuna
Cedar plugs have been catching tuna since before modern trolling lures existed. The simple shape creates a wobbling, vibrating action at trolling speed that tuna find irresistible. There is no bubble trail, no skirt action, just a chunk of wood that mimics a fleeing baitfish.
Ahi adds quality rigging and a brass through-tube to the proven concept. The through-tube is the key upgrade. Standard cedar plugs chafe internally where the leader passes through, eventually weakening the connection. The brass tube eliminates this wear point. The notched back seats the hook securely, and prismatic eyes add a visual trigger.

Brass Through-Tube
A brass tube runs through the plug body, protecting the leader from internal chafing. This is the failure point on most cedar plugs. The brass tube makes the Ahi version significantly more durable.
Pre-Rigged Quality
150 lb fluorocarbon leader, 10/0 Mustad 3412 hook, and 250 lb swivel. No rigging needed. These are quality components, not budget hardware that fails on the first fish.
Prismatic Eyes
Reflective prismatic eyes add a flash of light that draws attention to the plug. Tuna are visual feeders and the eye flash provides a focal point for their strike.
How to Troll Cedar Plugs for Tuna
- Attach the pre-rigged leader to your snap swivel or double line
- Deploy at your desired distance (shotgun or rigger)
- Troll at 5-8 knots and let the plug wobble naturally
- Cedar plugs catch fish without any special technique
- When a fish strikes, let the rod load before engaging the drag

Where should I run a cedar plug in my spread? +
Shotgun (center, far back) or rigger position. Cedar plugs run well at distance. Our trolling spread guide covers placement for cedar plugs.
What species eat cedar plugs? +
Yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, bluefin tuna, bonito, and mahi. Tuna are the primary target. See our tuna guide.
What trolling speed? +
5-8 knots for best action. Cedar plugs wobble and vibrate at speed, creating an action that tuna cannot resist. Our speed chart has specific recommendations.
What is the brass through-tube for? +
It prevents the leader from chafing against the wood inside the plug body. Without the tube, the leader wears through and fails. The brass tube makes the plug last much longer. See our trolling collection.
Do I need to rig this? +
No. It comes pre-rigged with fluoro leader, hook, and swivel. Clip it on and fish. See all our trolling lures.
What colors work best? +
Natural cedar is the classic. Painted versions in blue/white and green/yellow also produce well. Tuna respond to the wobble action more than the color. Browse our trolling lures.
