The Marlin Magic Ruckus is perhaps their most famous Marlin lure. This is the standard 12″ size. Has 12″ sized skirt saddles with a fairly steady taper towards the slanted nose. The reputation of the lure can be derived from its name alone – it creates a “ruckus” in the water that stir up fish like crazy while staying mostly at the surface. It has an aggressive surface action, providing a ton of smoke trailing the lure. While you can get this lure to run in rougher waters, we do not necessarily recommend this lure for the roughest of sea conditions but more in calm to moderately rough conditions.

Captain Marlin Parker himself has won more tournaments on this lure than any other lure in his arsenal including the 2002 World Cup and the 2004 Bisbees. Can be ran in any trolling position with success, but we personally run the 12″ size on the short rigger position (Large Size Long Corner, XL Size Short Corner). Ranked by Marlin Magazine in 2016 as the #7 offshore lure of all time.

Here is a photo of the 1035# Blue caught on a Blue Lava Ruckus on August 18, 2019 by Capt. Marlin Parker & deckhand Ryan Thurner to take home the largest fish prize at the Big Island Marlin Tournament. 

Here is the link to our Ruckus review with Capt. Chris Donato:

This particular head is the exact color that caught the 1139# Grander by Capt. Mike Dakil on the “Beast Mode” out of Kona, HI. It has gorgeous white Awabi shell along the sides of the insert with a rainbow-iridescent wrapped top and bottom of the insert with a blue back and a set of doll eyes. Signed by Gary Eoff on one of the shell sides.
