JB Lures Chopper

Head and skirt colours vary for each lure, please contact us to find out what colours are available.

Joining the JB Lures stable in 1998, the Chopper has earned an enviable reputation as a big blue raiser and tournament winner, with more than $600k worth of trophies in Australia alone!

A plunger style lure with a scalloped face, the JB Lures Chopper has a very pronounced and consistent wiggle that most blue marlin find irresistible but it is also very stable in rough and windy weather.

The heaviest marlin ever caught off Wollongong/Kiama, a 338.4kg blue on 37kg was taken on an evil Chopper by Dave Jeffries aboard ‘Fishaholic’ on 6th April 2009. On March 16th 2013 ‘Anticipation’ fishing the Kiama Canyons hooked a monster 450kg plus blue marlin on a green Chopper, busting it off after an epic 9hr battle on 37kg standup tackle! 3 days later Dave Venn pulled the hooks on a 350kg plus blue then jumped off a 300kg, both taking the green Chopper on the long corner.
