The Lure That Always Catches Fish
Cedar plugs have been catching tuna since before modern resin lures existed. There is a reason tournament captains still run them. The natural cedar body creates an erratic wobble and dance that no synthetic material can replicate. The lure does not track perfectly straight - it darts and weaves unpredictably, and that inconsistency is what triggers strikes from tuna that ignore everything else.
This Sea Striker version comes fully rigged and ready to fish. Drop it in the prop wash, behind a planer, or run it way back and it will produce. At $17.79, it is the cheapest insurance policy in your tackle box. Many captains have caught more fish on a single cedar plug than on lures that cost 10 times as much.

Unique Dancing Action
The asymmetric cedar body creates an erratic wobble that synthetic lures cannot duplicate. The plug darts, weaves, and dances unpredictably through the water. This action is deadly on tuna, which are triggered by irregular movement that mimics injured baitfish.
Pre-Rigged and Ready
Rigged on 150 lb thin diameter mono with a 10/0 hook. The pull loop has a stainless thimble for chafe protection where it connects to your snap or clip. No assembly needed. Clip it on and start trolling.
Versatile Trolling Positions
Cedar plugs produce in every position from the prop wash to way, way back. Run one in the white water right behind the boat for tuna that crash the wake. Run one 200 feet back for wary fish that will not come close. They work at speeds from 4 to 9 knots, covering slow troll and standard offshore speeds.
How to Troll a Rigged Cedar Plug
1. Attach the cedar plug leader to your trolling line using a snap swivel or loop-to-loop connection
2. Deploy behind the boat - start in the prop wash (short) or let out 100-200 feet for the way-back position
3. Troll at 5-8 knots for most pelagic species
4. Watch for the distinctive dancing action on the surface - the plug should wobble and dart erratically
5. Run multiple cedar plugs in different spread positions for maximum coverage
6. After a strike, check the leader and thimble for wear before re-deploying

What makes cedar plugs so effective? +
The natural cedar body creates an erratic wobble that synthetic lures cannot replicate. Tuna are triggered by this unpredictable action because it mimics injured baitfish. Tournament captains have relied on cedar plugs for decades. Learn more in our trolling lure guide.
Where should I run a cedar plug in my spread? +
Cedar plugs work in every position. The two most productive spots are the prop wash (short) and the way-back position (150-200+ feet back). Running one in each spot gives you coverage at two different distances. See our trolling spread guide for positioning details.
What trolling speed works best? +
5-8 knots is the standard range. Cedar plugs have a wide speed window and will dance at anything from 4-9 knots. Slower speeds give a tighter wobble; faster speeds produce a wider erratic action. Check our trolling speed chart for species-specific recommendations.
Can I use a cedar plug for wahoo? +
Yes. Wahoo hit cedar plugs, especially at higher trolling speeds (7-9 knots). The erratic action triggers their chase instinct. Consider adding a wire leader section if wahoo are in the area since they can cut mono. Our wahoo guide covers wahoo-specific rigging.
Do I need to add a skirt to a cedar plug? +
Not required. Cedar plugs catch plenty of fish naked. Some anglers add a small sea witch skirt over the plug for extra color and profile. Both methods work. Our trolling lure guide covers skirt and plug combinations.
How long does a cedar plug last? +
Cedar plugs last for years with basic care. Rinse with fresh water after each trip and let them dry before storing. The wood body may darken over time but continues fishing fine. The leader and hook should be inspected regularly. At $17.79, replacement cost is minimal. See our rigging guide for tackle maintenance tips.
