Strategic Angler Espada Series (Sinking)

The Strategic Angler Espada Series Sinking Stick Bait is a premium offshore casting lure designed to imitate large pelagic forage such as Pacific saury, ballyhoo, flying fish, juvenile mackerel, and herring. Measuring 9.25 inches and weighing approximately 4.5 ounces, the Espada-S combines long-range casting performance with an erratic underwater action that triggers aggressive strikes from tuna, billfish, yellowtail, and other apex predators. Its name, Espada, meaning "sword," reflects the lure’s sharp slicing action through the water during retrieves and jigging presentations.

Built around an ultra-strong 2.4mm through-wire construction, the Espada-S is engineered to withstand the punishment of the world's toughest gamefish. The lure sinks vertically tail-first at roughly one foot per second, closely mimicking an injured or dying baitfish. When worked with rhythmic rod sweeps or jigging motions, it produces an erratic darting, rolling, and underwater walk-the-dog action that creates intense flash and attraction below the surface. Designed for experienced anglers, the Espada-S offers exceptional versatility for both subsurface retrieves and vertical presentations.
