Bluewater Saury 230 Guns n Roses — Precision Pelagic Lure for Big-Tackle Success

The Bluewater Saury 230 Guns n Roses from Gillies is not just a lure—it’s a deliberately engineered high-performance tool built to dominate offshore pelagic encounters. From dawn to dusk, this hard-body swimbait delivers a lifelike baitfish silhouette and an irresistible side‑to‑side kick that predators key in on, making every cast and troll purposeful and productive.

Designed for serious saltwater game, the Saury blends durability with precise swimming action. A stainless steel wired‑through body together with a reinforced bib and a dedicated nose tow point provides the resilience needed for battles with trophy fish, while preserving a clean, natural swim right out of the box. Expect reliable performance across the rig and the water conditions you’re likely to encounter offshore.

Key features that separate the Saury 230 Guns n Roses

• Size, weight and depth control: 230mm long, 108g, engineered to run at about 5 meters (≈15 feet) beneath the surface—an ideal depth for targeting tuna, mackerel, and other pelagic predators.
• Premium hardware: 9/0 VMC hooks with heavy‑duty rings to ensure strong hookups and durable handling of trophy fish.
• Robust construction: Stainless steel wired‑through body and a reinforced bib to withstand offshore battles without compromising swim, even under heavier boat speeds or harsher seas.
• Out-of-the-box swim, minimal tuning: Nose tow point paired with the bib design produces a natural, tempting action from the first cast or troll—reducing the tinkering time between trips.
• LiveGlo fluorescence option: A select color range features patented LiveGlo, incorporating luminous UV additives that predators see clearly even in low light, dawn, or dusk offshore conditions.
• Design pedigree: Australian design lineage from Lance Butler, delivering lures built for hunters who demand practical, field-tested performance.

Who benefits most

Offshore anglers pursuing yellowfin or bluefin tuna, king mackerel, wahoo, and other pelagic contenders will appreciate the Saury 230 Guns n Roses’ combination of durability, action, and visibility. It also serves well behind a teaser or as a primary trolling lure, delivering consistent strikes across varied sea states and light conditions.

Why this lure matters in your toolbox

Compared with traditional hard bodies, the Saury’s wired‑through construction, reinforced bib, and nose tow design let you push the lure harder without sacrificing swim quality or reliability. The 230mm profile strikes a balance between convincing baitfish impersonation and maintaining practical trolling depths, while the 108g weight keeps the lure stable and controllable across different boat speeds and rig configurations.

Practical use tips

• Choose LiveGlo colors for low-light windows (dawn/dusk) or when water visibility is reduced—the glow helps the lure stand out to predatory fish even when human sight is limited.
• Pair with a rugged trolling setup and a direct line to maximize the effectiveness of the nose tow point and to maintain the lure’s natural swim at trolling speeds.
• Use it as a primary trolling lure or in combination with a teaser to draw strikes from pelagic species in demanding offshore conditions.
