Hand Poured in Costa Rica, Proven Worldwide
Dragon Lures come from one of the most productive offshore fishing grounds in the world. The 8 Inch Bullet was developed to catch yellowfin tuna in Costa Rican waters where the bite can be incredibly competitive. The bullet-shaped resin head runs true at trolling speeds, and the double silicone skirts provide more durability than single-layer hair or Mylar.
The hand-poured resin process creates a dense, impact-resistant head that withstands strikes from billfish, tuna, and wahoo. Pre-rigged with 150 lb mono and an 8/0 Mustad 3407 hook, this lure fishes out of the package. The simple black or white color options are proven producers in offshore waters worldwide.

Hand Poured Resin Head
Each head is hand poured in Costa Rica using durable resin that resists cracking and chipping. The 1 inch diameter bullet shape creates a tight swimming action that mimics a fleeing baitfish.
Double Silicone Skirts
Silicone skirts are more durable than hair or Mylar and maintain their shape and action through repeated use. The double layer adds profile and flash while protecting the hook.
Pre-Rigged Ready to Deploy
Each Bullet comes rigged on 5 feet of 150 lb clear mono with an 8/0 Mustad 3407 hook and chafe protection. Tie to your main line and troll. No rigging bench required.

What species does this catch? +
Yellowfin tuna, mahi, billfish, wahoo, and most offshore pelagics. It is especially popular for yellowfin tuna in Central American and Caribbean waters. Read our tuna guide.
Black or white: which color is better? +
Both are proven producers. Black is the classic choice for tuna. White works well in bright conditions and for mahi. Run both in your spread and let the fish choose.
Is the 150 lb mono leader strong enough? +
For most pelagic species, 150 lb mono is solid. For wahoo, you may want to add a short wire trace ahead of the leader. Check our leader FAQ.
Can I re-rig this with different hooks? +
Yes. The resin head and silicone skirts are reusable. Cut the factory rigging and thread your own leader and hook setup for a custom configuration.
