Bomboy Magilla Marlin Lure

A rare, proven big-fish lure handmade in Kona, Hawaii, by Bomboy Llanes. The Magilla is built for targeting large Pacific blue marlin and is extremely difficult to find.

• Credited with catching a 1,197-pound blue marlin
• Responsible for numerous tournament catches and wins
• Featured as a Top 10 marlin lure in Marlin Magazine
• Featured in Australia’s BlueWater Magazine
• Named one of Jim Rizzuto’s Top 10 big-fish lures in 2007

Bomboy’s Recommended Setup

Position: Short bait or short corner
Hook: 13/0 or 14/0
Leader: 650 lb

Bomboy fishes the Magilla as a hooked teaser using 13/0 hooks. He advises against using a large hookless teaser because the time required to clear it after a strike can cost you the fish.

Fun fact: Tsutomu Lures maker Garrett Lee told Marlin Magazine that he would run a Bomboy Magilla Gorilla on the short corner when fishing a mixed spread of marlin lures.
