Rare Slider Model Futa Lures

• Facts about this lure directly from Futa Lures Developed for the angler that wants a deep diving heavy action lure.   Action in the water:  This lure will dive up to 10 feet below the surface, flip and come shooting back up, give a good surface spray and dive back down again. Tips:  If this lure is trolled over 10 knots it will not dive, but skip violently on the surface of the water, which has also been known to get a Marlin strike.  However it was made to be used at lower trolling speeds and will not move side to side erratically or tangle your pattern. Can be used in calm to rough water conditions Has produced a 600lb marlin and a 180lb bigeye
• This appears to be a newer lure, likely crafted by Tom Futa’s grandson, who continued the family’s lure-making legacy after Tom Futa’s passing.

About Futa Lures

Futa lures are handmade in Hawaii by the Futa family. Tom Futa, the original lure master craftsman, began building them in the early 1980s. Today it's a small family-run business, and his craft has been passed down to younger generations of the Futa family. Each vintage Futa lure is a piece of Hawaiian big game fishing history.

Fun fact: We were told that as Tom Futa got older, he would invite his friends over and provide the beer if they helped him polish lures.
