- Large lure gets more bites to me than the medium size Marauder.
- After a few trips and fish hits, the lure seems to fill with water and track erratic. Solution would be to drill a couple holes on the bottom.
- Lots of hits with this large lure.
- More misses than the medium Marauder.
- Catches fish. Period
- Sometimes swims erratically and will jump out of water when reeling in if not careful.
On 3 separate occasions, on the 3 different large marauders, I've had one of the hooks break off the lure after a strike. Each time the break occurs at the stainless steel ring that connects the large swivel to the body of the lure. These are newer, rust free, seemingly perfect condition lures. I've e-mailed Braid and sent them pictures of the lures but they failed to respond. Disappointing. I've like to hear an opinion.
Also, Some of the marauders will split at the seam, on the head of the lure and absorb water. This problem occurs often and the rattle fails to work after this has happened.
- They catch wahoo. Less time replacing lure skirts.
- Expensive. The quality of the lure does not match the price. Poor life expectancy of the product.
- Attracts wahoo to the boat. The strong vibrations are a definite turn on for the fish.
- The single hooks are not super effective. I would guesstimate that the lure has a 50% strike to hook up ratio. The wahoo WILL go after the other lures in your spread even after they miss the maurader. Some of the other captains are using/experimenting with double hooks on the lure but I'm not sure how it effects the overall performance. It would be helpful if Braid would give some suggestions on multiple options for hook rigs.
