The CraneLures Mijo is a compact, high-performance trolling lure engineered specifically for targeting smaller pelagic species such as Striped Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado. At 2.4 oz and 2.75 inches overall, the Mijo features a slender profile and a 2-inch exposed polished head designed to produce an attractive underwater flash and a tight, controlled presentation. Its small cupped face creates a distinct surface disturbance and consistent swimming action, making it an excellent choice when fish are keyed in on smaller bait or when a more refined presentation is needed in the offshore trolling spread. For anglers searching for the best marlin lures, small marlin lures, or proven marlin trolling lures to add to their spread, the Mijo offers a compact profile that can be especially effective when larger offerings aren't getting the bite. Don’t let its compact size fool you—the Mijo is built to get eaten and is an excellent choice for anglers targeting Striped Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado while looking to put more fish in the boat and more meat in the cooler.

The Bonze Argonaut marlin lure is designed and manufactured by Bonze Lures, a premium New Zealand–based big game lure company founded by master lure maker and game fisherman Graeme “Bonze” Fleet. Built in the heart of the Bay of Islands—one of the world’s most iconic blue marlin fishing destinations—Bonze Lures are known globally for being hand-finished, performance-tested, and tuned specifically for serious offshore trolling and tournament fishing.
The Argonaut itself is part of Bonze’s heavy-tackle range and reflects the brand’s hands-on development style: real-world testing with top captains in locations like New Zealand, Hawaii, Cape Verde, and the Azores. Each lure is designed to run clean and stable at high trolling speeds while producing a strong smoke trail and wide vibration profile that triggers aggressive blue marlin strikes. The Argonaut is especially respected as a consistent “bite raiser” in competitive sportfishing and tournament spreads.
Built and finished in New Zealand, Bonze lures like the Argonaut are crafted with high-quality resins, UV-enhanced materials, and durable skirts designed for extended offshore use in tough saltwater conditions. This attention to detail has earned the brand international respect among elite crews and charter operations worldwide. In the Caribbean—especially Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and the Virgin Islands—the Argonaut fits perfectly into professional spreads run by operators and tackle suppliers like Simply Caught Charters & Tackle, where serious anglers target blue marlin in tournament and charter fishing environments.
