Santos Tournament Grade Tackle Cortez Vapor Offshore Big Game Trolling Lure review and price compare 2025

One of the most versatile and productive lures in our lineup. The Cortez is a cupped QuadraJet that can literally be trolled in any position, and in all but the most extreme seas. The darting, dashing, and long vents of smoke are irresistible to all species of offshore game fish. The great all around performer is especially effective on tunas, striped marlin, and dorado. 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.
