Why the Slant Head Design Catches Fish

A slant head lure runs with a distinctive side-to-side swimming action that mimics a wounded baitfish. The angled face pushes water and creates a bubble trail that draws pelagics from a distance. The mirror inserts inside the crystal resin head flash light in every direction, adding another trigger that gets fish to commit.

The 5-9 knot trolling range makes this lure versatile enough for standard trolling spreads. Run it on a flat line, short rigger, or shotgun position. The rigged version comes ready to deploy, while the unrigged head lets you customize your own hook and leader setup to match your preferred tackle.

Crystal Mirror Resin Head

The impact-resistant resin head is loaded with mirror inserts that reflect light at every angle. This creates an underwater flash pattern that pulls fish toward your spread from a distance.

Dual UV Skirts

Both skirts contain UV additives that glow under water. UV light penetrates deeper than visible light, so your lure stays visible even at depth. Fish see this lure from farther away than standard skirts.

Rigged and Ready Option

The rigged version comes with a single 8/0 stainless hookset on 480 lb stainless cable and a 12-foot leader of 150 lb mono. Pull it out of the package, clip it on, and start trolling.

How to Fish the Epic Slant Head 8

1. Attach the leader to your main line using a snap swivel or loop-to-loop connection

2. Deploy the lure 50-100 feet behind the boat on a flat line or outrigger

3. Set trolling speed between 5 and 9 knots

4. Watch for the lure to swim with a side-to-side action and leave a bubble trail

5. Adjust line length until the lure tracks cleanly without jumping out of the water

6. When a fish strikes, let it load the rod before engaging the drag
