Unrigged Joe Shute Tuna Lures

The Original Weighted Hair Lures for Custom Offshore Rigging.

For the captain who demands total control over their spread, our collection of unrigged Joe Shute tuna lures offers the perfect foundation. These are the original, legendary weighted hair lures that have defined Bluefin tuna fishing for over 25 years. Whether you prefer to rig with heavy fluorocarbon for giants or a specific hook set for Yellowfin, these unrigged heads give you the flexibility to customize your presentation.

The Foundation of an Effective Tuna Spread

Every Joe Shute lure is designed with a specific head weight to ensure a stable, deep-tracking "swim" when paired with ballyhoo. At Magictail Outfitters, we stock a full range of colors and weights—from 1oz heads for light-tackle surface action to 5.5oz heads for staying deep in heavy seas.

  • Customization: Perfect for DIY rigging with your choice of mono or fluorocarbon leader.

  • Targeted Species: The definitive best tuna lures for targeting Bigeye, Bluefin, and Yellowfin.

  • Saltwater Durability: Featuring premium hair and chip-resistant weighted heads that withstand the rigors of offshore trolling.

  • Versatility: Use them as a standalone lure or as the "business end" of a Daisy Chain or Spreader Bar.
