Iland Lures Iland Express + Mold Craft Pink Mackerel Tuff Mac Chase Bait Combo GZE
This product here is something that our buddy Kyle Wright out of Kona helped us identify as a good chase bait behind a squid chain or Squid Nation Flippy Floppy. What we have here is a Mold Craft Tuff Mac tucked in behind an Iland Lures Iland Express lure. This is a great secondary option when dead bait is taken out of the equation especially. These are extremely effective chaser baits as teasers.Ā
In the two videos below, you will see Kyle Wright discuss how we rig them, what we love about them personally, and how to apply colors.
See below for more specs on each product and what we used to make this specific teaser chase bait.

From Iland Lures on their "Iland Express":
The Iland Express Lure features a jet design that combines the effectiveness of jet action with ultra-light, hollow-head construction. The brilliance and exceptional bubble stream attract game fish from the depths. Excels on outriggers and as a teaser. Extremely effective when rigged with natural baits or strip bait at speeds of 8 to 10 knots.
This lure is ideal for catching Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo. The Iland Lures range of trolling lures are some of the most popular big game baits along the East Coast and throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean. Most commonly trolled with a rigged dead bait inside, Iland Lures are equally effective when pulled by themselves.
Due to their tremendous success, this range has earned a world-wide reputation as some of the finest and most productive artificial lures you can own. Brilliance that provides the widest possible detection range and a strike provoking realism that attracts all gamefish are the keys to their success!
