LURE WATCH

"BahamaLures"
B
eing that I was raised
on a boat and didn't
live ashore until aged
7, I was fishing from the very
beginning in the Bahamas!
Learning to troll for wahoo and
dolphin as soon as I could hold
the rod, I never looked back.
Lure making began back then
with refurbishing old lead head
jigs that had lost their feathers,
then turning my own brass
heads. About 5 years ago I
began making resin headed
lures in my closet, then in a
shipping container, then a
workshop in the garden and
finally the big move from the
Bahamas to North Carolina
and a real production facility.
All the research and
development happened in the
Bahamas but production was
Charon 50 - Black Pearl
(a marlin's choice above (front cover), and shown below)
near impossible until I moved
to the states and now it's full
on with sales and exports
filling the books. BahamaLures
are now exported all over the
world from NC!

EDITOR'S COMMENT
MARLIN WORLD have been
fishing with Captain James
Roberts and Captain Mark
Lee onboard "MAGIC" in
Madeira with some of Alan's
Bahama Lures this summer.
The lures were very consistent
with probably the Charon 50
scoring more times than not
out of the selection of four that
we were carrying.
Captain James
said: "I've had
great luck with
them and they
run real well in
the water. I'm
still pulling
them now
and will certainly
continue with them for the
rest of the season. Put it like
this -- they have one side of
my boat!"
