A Sea Witch Built the Right Way
Cheap sea witches fall apart after a few trips. The hair slips out of the wraps, the head separates, and you are left pulling a bare hook through the water. Epic Witches are built to last because they are hand-tied with bonded floss wraps that lock the UV mylar hair in place.
The difference shows at trolling speed. The hair flows and pulses with natural movement. The UV material flashes in ways that fish can see from deep below. Run one naked for a classic sea witch presentation, or thread it over a ballyhoo for the bait-and-lure combo that tournament crews swear by. At $9.49, you stock your spread with quality without paying boutique prices.

Hand-Tied in North Carolina
Every Epic Witch is hand-tied with attention to hair distribution, wrap tension, and head bonding. The result is a lure where the hair flows evenly at trolling speed without bunching or balding. Mass-produced sea witches cannot match this level of consistency.
UV Mylar Sea Witch Hair
The mylar hair reflects UV light that fish can detect underwater, even at depth. The individual strands create a shimmer effect that mimics a school of small baitfish. The UV properties make these witches effective in deeper trolling positions where standard flash fades.
Nine Color Options
Pink and blue for mahi. Red and black for wahoo. Chartreuse and blue for dirty water. Purple and black for deep positions. White and crystal for natural presentations. Sand Eel pattern for matching the forage. Red and crystal for a classic high-contrast look. Build a spread with multiple colors to cover all conditions.
How to Rig and Fish Epic Sea Witches
1. Thread the sea witch onto your leader by passing the leader through the head
2. For naked rigging, tie or crimp the leader to a trolling hook behind the witch
3. For bait-and-lure combos, thread a ballyhoo behind the sea witch on a pin rig
4. Deploy on flat lines, rigger positions, or behind planers at 5-8 knots
5. Let out 40-100 feet of line depending on spread position
6. Replace the sea witch when the hair becomes matted or sparse from fish bites

What species do sea witches catch? +
Mahi mahi, blackfin and yellowfin tuna, wahoo, sailfish, and white marlin all eat sea witches. They are one of the most versatile trolling lures in offshore fishing. Our mahi fishing guide covers sea witch tactics for dolphin.
Should I fish sea witches naked or with bait? +
Both work. Naked sea witches are simpler and stay in the water all day without re-baiting. Sea witches over ballyhoo combine flash with scent for a premium presentation. Tournament crews typically run a mix of both. Our ballyhoo rigging guide covers bait-and-lure combinations.
What color sea witch should I use? +
Pink/blue and blue/white are the most popular all-around mahi colors. Red/black is a go-to for wahoo. Purple/black works in deeper positions. White/crystal is a natural look for clear water. Run multiple colors and let the fish tell you. Our lure selection guide covers color theory.
What trolling speed works best? +
5-8 knots is ideal for sea witches. The hair flows and flashes best in this range. At slower speeds the action diminishes. Faster speeds can cause the witch to skip. Check our trolling speed chart for species-specific speeds.
What makes Epic Witches different from cheap sea witches? +
Hand-tied construction with bonded floss wraps means the hair stays in place and flows evenly. Cheap witches shed hair and fall apart in a few trips. The UV mylar hair adds fish-attracting properties that standard hair lacks. See our mylar tinsel strands if you want to build your own.
Can I build my own sea witches with Epic materials? +
Yes. Pair our tinsel strands with rigging floss and a lead head to build custom sea witches in any color combination you want.
Where in my spread should I run sea witches? +
Sea witches work in every spread position. Run them on flat lines, short and long rigger positions, or behind planers. They are lightweight enough to pull from any position without dragging. Our trolling spread guide covers position strategy for every lure type.
