Dangerous intentions!

• Molded from a real fish and hand-painted with iridescent pigments that flash blue, purple, gold, and green as the light changes.
• Runs heavy tackle with hooks or as a teaser without, versatile in any spread position
• Belonged to Cpt Rotella, he sold it to us because the paint missed one small crease in the fish nose.

Aliʻi Kai Lures are handmade big game trolling lures in Kona, Hawaiʻi, by charter captain Shawn Rotella, who has fished Hawaiian waters for more than 20 years. Mentored by Tom Futa and influenced by legendary Hawaiian lure maker Joe Yee, Rotella still uses many of Futa’s original molds and wooden masters to produce Aliʻi Kai Lures. He has caught more sailfish than any other local captain, held six top big-game fishing spots in a single year, and landed one of the largest blue marlin ever caught on 50-pound tackle. Each lure is tested and refined aboard his Kona charter boat, Night Runner, and the name Aliʻi Kai means “King of the Sea.”
