About this lure
Slim, castable metal lure designed to imitate small baitfish and trigger fast-moving predators.
The Long John Silver features a sleek profile and reflective finish for clear, enticing visibility underwater. Available in weights from ~14 g to 68 g, it casts smoothly and reacts well to quick retrieves or jigging. Its balanced design and built-in treble provide strong hook-up potential with minimal tuning.
- Weight options: approximately 14 g, 20 g, 28 g, 42 g, 55 g, and 68 g
- Colours include blue, green, pearl, and red
- A slim body balances well for long casts
- Reflective metal finish for flash in both clear and stained water
- Pre‑rigged with corrosion-resistant treble hook for quick hookup
Ideal for inshore species such as kahawai, trevally, kingfish, and snapper when you're working around reefs, channels, or bait schools in New Zealand waters.
How to fish the Surfmaster - Long John Silver
Big Kev's Tips
Which weight, and when
14 g
Ideal for shallow, calm conditions and light tackle; casts well and works the 0-2 m zone with minimal splash.
20 g
Balanced choice for general inshore work; casts further than 14 g and maintains control in light chop.
28 g
Suits moderate wind and current; reaches deeper into the sub-surface zone and holds better in moving water.
42 g
Use in stronger current or chop to maintain depth and retrieve control; extends casting range significantly.
55 g
Heavy option for rough conditions or deeper channels; sinks faster and cuts through wind.
68 g
Maximum weight for extreme conditions or maximum distance; fastest sink rate and deepest working depth within the 0-2 m zone.
