Moyes Sniper 9 Inch Skirted Lure — Semi Jet Bullet Head

From Black Pete, the Moyes Sniper 9" skirted lure is engineered for serious offshore trolling and big-game success. This semi-jet bullet head is keel-weighted, delivering a stable, deep-diving presence that slices through wave action while leaving a distinctive trail of bubbles in its wake. Built to perform under demanding conditions, it’s a standout choice for targeting marlin, tuna, and other offshore game fish.

The semi-jet head creates a subtle water-jet effect that enhances hue and motion, provoking predatory responses and drawing strikes from pelagic species. The keel weighting keeps the lure tracking true even in chop, reducing side-to-side drift and helping you maintain the right depth and position in your spread.

Durability meets performance: crafted from impact-resistant ballistic resin, the Moyes Sniper resists scratches and cracks from endless battles with big fish and rugged offshore environments. The skirted design adds lifelike, pulsating movement, increasing attractiveness as the lure sweeps through the water column.

Why anglers choose the Moyes Sniper

This lure stands apart with its combination of a streamlined, skirted profile and a technical head design that actually enhances depth control and tracking. The semi-jet action helps the lure cut cleanly through chop, while the water disturbance and bubble trail increase visibility and trigger responses from wary fish. The result is more consistent bites in varied offshore conditions and a longer, more productive trolling session.

Brand you can trust: Black Pete brings years of offshore fishing expertise to every lure, delivering tools that pros rely on when chasing blue-water trophies. The Moyes Sniper embodies that heritage with a durable build, proven performance, and thoughtful design that translates to real-world results on your next big-game expedition.

Practical tips for maximum effectiveness

Use the Moyes Sniper as a primary or secondary lure within a well-balanced trolling spread. Pair the 9" skirted lure with a standard single-hook rig (9/0+) and rig it for easy replacement if a strike comes. Keep the lure within its depth range using the keel weight to maintain stable tracking, and take advantage of the bubble trail to draw strikes from marlin and tuna that are actively feeding on pelagic bait in your area.
