Santos Tournament Grade Tackle Cape Verde Raptor Offshore Big Game Trolling Lure review and price compare 2025

A deep running, top performing favorite that lives up to its reputation. The balanced (TM) insert allows it to run well from 6-12 knots in all conditions. As the Cape Verde is capable of higher speeds, you can cover more water, while presenting to more fish; and you can do it in almost any sea. The Cape Verde Raptor is a classic big game torpedo pusher that all pelagics find irresistible. Santos offshore big game trolling lures are hand cast from premium aerospace grade urethane which comes out of the mold identical to the precision engineered prototype, and as smooth as glass. Unlike most trolling lures which are made of polyester resins, urethane lures are optically clear, ultra hard, chip and crack resistant, UV stable, and can be produced with perfect design proportions. Each lure is also heat and pressure cured for the ultimate in durability. We use only the finest AAA grade shell veneers, soft PVC anti-chafe leader tubes, and custom hand painted Santos Holographic eyes for our lures. Santos lure tailstocks are precision CAD engineered to perfectly fit our double hand tied skirts, and to make an ideal hydrodynamic transition from the head to skirt. Santos trolling lures feature our proprietary (TM) LCM (Low Center of Mass) insert technology that insures that the lure stays upright, and is able to achieve significantly higher trolling speeds. With an upright lure, hook set position and orientation within the skirts are further maintained by our Santos RigLock(TM) system which is a standard feature of all of our big game lures. Santos bluewater trolling lures features supple, vibrant, and durable skirts made in the USA by Ocean Lure Concepts.
