Offshore Trolling Lure Archive
Welcome to the Offshore Trolling Lure Archive — the largest public archive in the world dedicated to Hawaiian-style offshore trolling lures and the makers behind them. This is a living collection built to preserve the history, craftsmanship, and evolution of the lures that built big game fishing in Hawaii and went on to influence the sport around the world.
Here you’ll find an expanding library of lure photos, maker identifications, and historical information—organized for collectors, fishermen, and anyone passionate about offshore trolling. While many featured lures were made in Hawaii, this museum also includes makers from around the world whose work reflects the unmistakable Hawaiian tradition and style.
Whether you're trying to identify an old lure, learn the history behind a legendary maker, or explore the amazing work of all these lure makers—this is your place.
