Ultra-Affordable Design
At $7.49, the Tuna Buster costs less than most jig heads. But it is pre-rigged with quality components: Mustad 3407 hooks, Hi-Seas leader, and proven squid skirt material. You are not sacrificing quality for price.
Mylar Trailing Flash
The trailing squid has a Mylar insert that catches light and adds flash to the lure's profile. This visual trigger draws fish to the trailing bait where the 6/0 hook waits.
Beginner-Friendly
No rigging knowledge needed. Clip the Tuna Buster to your snap swivel, deploy it at trolling speed, and wait for the rod to bend. Even the greenest offshore angler can run these effectively from day one.

Is there a 5 pack available? +
Yes. The Tuna Buster 5 Pack Kit at $40.99 includes all five colors in a storage bag. Deploy a complete spread from one bag.
What species does this catch? +
Tuna and mahi primarily. Also picks up sailfish and other pelagics. Read our tuna fishing guide for techniques.
How does this compare to the Mahi Slayer? +
Both are dual squid rigs. The Tuna Buster uses smaller 4 inch skirts with 6/0 hooks versus the Mahi Slayer's 6/4 inch combo with 7/0 and 6/0 hooks. The Buster is smaller and $2.50 cheaper.
What trolling speed? +
4 to 9 knots. Works well across the entire range. Our trolling speed chart helps dial in speed by target species.
Can I use this for blackfin tuna? +
Great choice for blackfin. The 4 inch profile matches the smaller baitfish blackfin feed on. See our blackfin tuna guide for more tactics.
Where should I run this in my spread? +
Short riggers and inside flat lines. The smaller profile works well closer to the boat. Run Offshore Dominators on the long riggers for variety. Our spread guide covers positioning.
