2025 Williamson Tuna Catcher Rigged

The 2025 Williamson Tuna Catcher Rigged is a compact offshore trolling lure designed to imitate the smaller baitfish tuna and other pelagic predators frequently target.

Built around a streamlined acrylic bullet head, the Tuna Catcher tracks cleanly at trolling speeds up to 9 knots, making it an easy lure to add to a mixed offshore spread. At 5.5 inches, it provides a smaller profile that can be especially effective when fish are keyed in on compact forage.

Best of all, it comes pre-rigged and ready to fish with premium Sufix leader and a VMC hook.

Compact Offshore Trolling Profile

At 5.5 inches (140 mm), the Tuna Catcher gives anglers a smaller trolling presentation without sacrificing visibility or action in the spread.

That compact profile makes it particularly useful when offshore predators are feeding on smaller baitfish.

Run it as part of a traditional trolling spread or add one as the smaller offering among larger offshore lures.

Acrylic Bullet Head

The Tuna Catcher's acrylic bullet head is designed to maintain its trolling action at speeds up to 9 knots.

The streamlined design allows the lure to run cleanly and makes it easy to incorporate into an offshore spread without requiring a specialized trolling setup.

Pre-Rigged & Ready to Fish

The Tuna Catcher comes factory rigged, eliminating the need to build a separate leader and hook rig before heading offshore.

Williamson's current rigging includes:

• 5.5" / 140 mm lure length
• Premium 130 lb Sufix leader
• VMC 8/0 hook
• Factory-rigged configuration
• Troll speeds up to 9 knots

Tie or connect it to your trolling setup and put it in the spread.

Built for Pelagic Species

The smaller profile makes the Williamson Tuna Catcher a strong option for offshore species feeding on compact bait.

Best For

• Blackfin Tuna
• Bonito
• Mahi-Mahi
• King Mackerel
• Wahoo
• Other Pelagic Gamefish
• Offshore Trolling
• Mixed Trolling Spreads

Where to Run It

The Tuna Catcher can be incorporated into several positions within a trolling spread depending on sea conditions, boat speed and the rest of your lure selection.

Its compact profile also makes it a useful change-up when larger trolling lures aren't producing.

When offshore fish are feeding on smaller forage, matching that bait size can matter more than simply running a larger lure.

Why Choose the Williamson Tuna Catcher?

The Tuna Catcher is a simple lure with a very useful role in an offshore spread.

It's compact, pre-rigged and capable of trolling at up to 9 knots, making it easy to deploy alongside other offshore trolling lures.

When tuna, mahi and other pelagics are feeding on smaller bait, the 5.5-inch profile gives anglers an option that better matches the available forage.

Premier Tackle Take

The Williamson Tuna Catcher is one of those offshore lures that's easy to keep rigged and ready.

We particularly like it as the smaller presentation in a trolling spread. If fish are ignoring larger offerings or you're seeing smaller bait offshore, the Tuna Catcher gives you a proven compact profile without requiring you to completely change the spread.

Factory rigging with 130 lb Sufix leader and a VMC 8/0 hook also means there isn't much to do before putting it in the water.
