‘The Coggin Lures Old Style Stick Troll Swimmer is a rare offshore classic, distinguished by its 4”inch head length and a generous 12-inch skirt saddle size. Unlike traditional swimmers, its leader tube is offset directly toward the bottom of the nose, driving an aggressive, erratic swimming action that creates a heavy surface wake and irresistible bubble trail. Highly sought after by serious billfish anglers and collectors alike, these hand-crafted gems are nearly impossible to find today, as Steve Coggin rarely produces this specific head shape anymore. Positioned on the long or short outriggers—and running exceptionally clean way back in the shotgun position—its low-drag stability allows it to track impeccably through heavy Caribbean seas without tumbling, making it a lethal tool for raising trophy blue marlin, sailfish, and yellowfin tuna.
To maximize the potential of such a rare lure, custom rigging by Simply Caught is an essential step for high-stakes tournament fishing off Puerto Rico, including the premier grounds of Rincón and Aguadilla. Standard commercial rigs often fail under the massive strain of a Caribbean marlin strike, but Simply Caught’s custom, hand-rigged setups feature heavy-duty leader material, precision hook placement, and tailored stiff-rig configurations designed to protect the lure and ensure maximum hookup ratios. When deployed on a charter or tournament spread, a Simply Caught rigged Stick Troll Swimmer remains perfectly balanced in the strike zone—whether popping off the riggers or churning from the shotgun—giving serious crews the ultimate edge when a trophy billfish inspects the spread.
Recommendations: Hook Size 9-10 / Leader 220 - 400
