Williamson Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV SP180DRHU Saltwater Jerkbait

The Williamson Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV SP180DRHU is a high-performance offshore trolling lure specifically designed to attract large pelagic species such as marlin, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, and mahi-mahi. With its unique Redhead UV color pattern and robust design, this lure is engineered for high-speed trolling and is built to withstand the challenges of offshore fishing.

Key Features:

1. Length & Weight:

   • The Speed Pro 180D measures 180mm (7.1 inches) in length and weighs around 4 ounces (115 grams), making it suitable for high-speed trolling.
   • Its size allows for efficient trolling at high speeds without compromising its action, which is crucial for attracting fast-moving predators like wahoo and tuna.

2. Color Pattern (Redhead UV):

   • The Redhead UV pattern (SP180DRHU) features a bright red head combined with a UV-enhanced body that provides superior visibility in various water conditions.
   • The UV coating enhances the lure's visibility in deeper waters and low-light conditions, making it highly effective during dawn, dusk, or overcast days when ultraviolet light penetration is higher.
   • The red head simulates a distressed baitfish, creating a stark contrast against the body, which mimics the natural coloration of prey in distress. This is especially useful in clear offshore waters where the bright red head can attract fish from a distance.

3. Action:

   • The Speed Pro 180D delivers an erratic, lifelike swimming action that mimics a struggling baitfish. This action is designed to trigger predatory instincts in species like marlin, tuna, and wahoo.
   • It’s ideal for high-speed trolling, and its erratic motion at speeds up to 15 knots makes it perfect for targeting fast-moving fish.

4. Durability:

   • The Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV is constructed from high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand the pressures of offshore trolling.
   • The UV finish not only enhances the visibility of the lure in low light conditions but also adds a layer of protection, making the lure resistant to the harsh conditions of offshore fishing.

5. Diving Depth:

   • The Speed Pro 180D dives to various depths depending on the trolling speed and the length of the line, which allows anglers to target fish at different levels of the water column.
   • Its versatility makes it ideal for deep-water trolling or targeting fish that are closer to the surface.

6. Through-Wire Construction:

   • Built with through-wire construction, the lure is designed to handle the powerful strikes from large pelagic species without breaking.
   • This construction ensures the lure's integrity is maintained even during the battle with big fish, giving anglers confidence in its durability.

7. Hooks:

   • The Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV comes with high-quality, sharp hooks that ensure secure hook sets when fish strike. These hooks are made to handle the pressure of offshore trolling and provide reliable performance.

8. Versatility:

   • The Speed Pro 180D is effective at both high-speed and medium trolling, making it suitable for various fishing techniques and conditions. Whether you are trolling deep for marlin or closer to the surface for tuna, the Redhead UV pattern is highly effective in attracting a wide range of species.
   • The UV-enhanced finish makes it especially effective in low-light conditions, increasing its versatility during different times of the day.

Ideal Use:

• Target Species: The Williamson Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV is perfect for targeting large pelagic species, such as:

  • Marlin (blue, black, striped)
  • Tuna (yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin)
  • Sailfish
  • Wahoo
  • Dorado (Mahi-mahi)
  • Barracuda

• Trolling Techniques: Best used for high-speed trolling, the Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV is particularly effective for fast-moving fish like wahoo and tuna. Its erratic swimming action simulates a baitfish in distress, which is highly appealing to predatory species.

• Water Conditions: The Redhead UV pattern excels in clear offshore waters, where its UV-enhanced visibility makes it stand out. It is also effective in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk, or when fishing deeper waters, where the UV finish helps the lure remain visible to predators.

Performance:

• The Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV offers a realistic, erratic action that mimics a struggling baitfish, attracting pelagic species from a distance. The UV finish enhances the lure’s visibility in deeper water or during periods of low light, making it highly effective for offshore trolling.

• The red head combined with the UV coating creates an attention-grabbing contrast, making it easier for predators to locate the lure, especially in waters with lower light penetration.

• The through-wire construction ensures that the lure can withstand the intense pressure from large fish, making it a reliable choice for big-game anglers.

Summary:

The Williamson Speed Pro 180D Redhead UV SP180DRHU is a high-performance offshore trolling lure designed to attract large pelagic species like marlin, tuna, wahoo, and sailfish. Its Redhead UV color pattern combines a bright red head with a UV-enhanced body, providing exceptional visibility in both clear and low-light offshore waters.
