Islamorada Flyer: The Flying Fish Lure That Actually Flies

The Islamorada Flyer is a flying fish trolling lure built around one simple idea: look and move like the real thing. The lightweight composite head catches the wake, pops the lure airborne, and the Mylar wings let it glide before splashing back down. That skip-and-glide action is exactly what mahi, tuna, and billfish key in on when they're chasing flying fish offshore. Pick the Small (4.5-6", 0.5oz) for schoolie dolphin and blackfin or the Large (6-7", 1.15oz) when you're targeting bulls and blue marlin. Both come in 4 proven colors and ship rigged or unrigged so you can fish them your way. American-made and built to last.
  • Mylar wings create realistic skip-and-glide flying fish action
  • Composite head with oversized eyes for a lifelike profile
  • 2 sizes: Small (0.5oz, single skirt) and Large (1.15oz, double skirt)
  • Rigged option: egg weight + stainless J hook on 6' clear mono leader
  • 4 colors: Hot Pink, Black & Purple, Green, Blue
  • American-made quality construction

Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Quick delivery, great service

I live six hours from my boat in Swansboro and want my gear perfect when I step onto it a few times a month. I’ve counted on TheTackleRoom for many years to make sure I get what I need, when I need it before I head to the coast, and they have always delivered. I just received another order and am glad the level of service has stayed top notch.

The Lure That Actually Looks Like a Flying Fish

Here's the problem with most "flying fish" lures: they don't fly. They track straight through the water like every other skirted trolling lure. Fish see them all day long and they know the difference. Real flying fish skip off the surface, wings spread, gliding 20-30 feet before splashing down. That erratic movement is what triggers the bite.

The Islamorada Flyer solves this with a lightweight composite head that catches turbulence in the wake and launches the lure airborne. The Mylar wings spread open mid-flight, creating that signature flying fish silhouette before the lure splashes back into the strike zone. It's not a gimmick. It's physics. The lure weighs just 0.5oz (Small) or 1.15oz (Large), light enough to actually get airborne off a normal trolling wake at 6-9 knots.

This lure was designed in Islamorada by anglers who watch flying fish blow out of the water every single day. They built the Flyer to match what they see, not what looks cool in a catalog. The result is a lure that consistently produces on mahi, tuna, and billfish because it triggers the same predatory response as the real thing.

Composite Head + Mylar Wings = Real Flying Fish Action

The composite head is lightweight on purpose. It needs to be light enough to pop off the wake at trolling speed but heavy enough to track true when it splashes back down. The Mylar wings fold flat on the splash and spread open in the air, giving the lure that unmistakable flying fish profile. Add in the oversized eyes and you've got a lure that looks right from every angle. Fish that feed on flying fish daily know exactly what this is the second they see it.

Rigged or Unrigged: Fish It Your Way

Order the Islamorada Flyer rigged and it ships ready to clip on and troll. The rigged version comes with an egg weight inside the head (1/4oz for Small, 3/8oz for Large) plus a stainless steel J hook (7/0 Small, 8/0 Large) on a 6-foot clear mono leader. Want to run your own hook and leader setup? Grab the unrigged version and customize it. A lot of guys buy unrigged so they can rig it over a ballyhoo for an even bigger bait presentation. Either way works.

Two Sizes for Every Situation

The Small Islamorada Flyer (4.5-6", 0.5oz) runs a single skirt and matches the profile of juvenile flying fish. It's deadly on schoolie mahi and blackfin tuna. Run it on the short rigger or flat line. The Large (6-7", 1.15oz) has a double skirt for more bulk and matches full-grown flying fish. This is the one you want on the long rigger when you're targeting bull dolphin, yellowfin, or sailfish. Running both sizes in the same spread gives you a natural size variety that mimics a real school of flying fish getting pushed to the surface.

How to Fish the Islamorada Flyer

Step 1: Pick your size based on target species. Run the Small on inside lines (short rigger or flat line) for mahi and blackfin. Put the Large on the long rigger for bulls, tuna, and billfish.

Step 2: Set your trolling speed between 6-9 knots. The Flyer needs enough wake turbulence to pop airborne. Check our trolling speed chart for species-specific recommendations.

Step 3: Position the lure in the wake's white water, about 30-50 feet back. You want it riding the second or third wave where it'll catch air naturally.

Step 4: For a bigger presentation, rig the unrigged version over a ballyhoo using a ballyhoo pin rig. The combination of the Mylar wings plus natural bait is absolutely lethal on big mahi and tuna.

Step 5: Run multiple Islamorada Flyers in different colors alongside an Islamorada Flyer Daisy Chain as a teaser to simulate a full school of flying fish getting chased to the surface.

What's the difference between rigged and unrigged Islamorada Flyers? +
The rigged version comes with an egg weight molded into the head (1/4oz Small, 3/8oz Large), a stainless steel J hook (7/0 Small, 8/0 Large), and a 6-foot clear mono leader. Clip it on and go. The unrigged version is just the lure body with Mylar wings, perfect if you want to run your own leader setup or rig it over a ballyhoo for a bigger presentation.
Should I get the Small or Large Islamorada Flyer? +
Get both if you can. The Small (4.5-6", 0.5oz) matches juvenile flying fish and works best on schoolie mahi and blackfin tuna. The Large (6-7", 1.15oz) mimics full-grown flying fish and pulls bigger bites from bull dolphin, yellowfin, and billfish. Running both sizes in your trolling spread gives you the most natural presentation.
What's the best color Islamorada Flyer? +
Hot Pink and Blue are our top sellers for a reason. Hot Pink is hard to beat in dirty or green water and is a proven mahi magnet. Blue is the most natural flying fish color for clear offshore water. Green works great around weed lines, and Black & Purple is the go-to in low light or overcast conditions. Check out our full guide on saltwater lure types and colors for more on color selection.
What trolling speed works best for the Islamorada Flyer? +
The sweet spot is 6-9 knots. You need enough wake energy to pop the lure airborne so the Mylar wings can do their thing. Too slow and it just tracks like a regular skirted lure. Too fast and it stays buried. Most guys find 7-8 knots is the magic number for consistent flying action. Our trolling speed chart breaks this down by target species.
What species does the Islamorada Flyer catch? +
The Islamorada Flyer catches anything that eats flying fish, which is pretty much every offshore predator. The top three targets are mahi (dolphin), tuna (blackfin and yellowfin), and billfish including sailfish and blue marlin. Wahoo will eat it too when they're in the mood.
Can I rig the Islamorada Flyer with a ballyhoo? +
Absolutely, and this is one of the best ways to fish it. Buy the unrigged version and rig it over a ballyhoo using a ballyhoo pin rig. The Mylar wings plus the scent and flash of natural bait creates a combination that big mahi and tuna can't resist. Read our full ballyhoo rigging guide for step-by-step instructions.
What is the Islamorada Flyer Daisy Chain? +
The Islamorada Flyer Daisy Chain strings multiple flying fish lures together on one leader to simulate a school of flying fish skipping across the surface. Run it as a teaser off your outrigger or bridge rod to draw fish into your spread. It's especially effective for billfish that like to see multiple baits before committing.
Are the Mylar wings durable? What if they tear? +
The Mylar wings hold up well to normal trolling and fish strikes. They're designed to flex and fold without tearing. After a lot of use or a big toothy fish, you might eventually need to replace them. Grab a pack of Mylar sheets and cut new wings in about 2 minutes. It's simple and way cheaper than replacing the whole lure. Most guys get dozens of fish on a set of wings before they need swapping.
