The Lead Masters Cedar Plug Size 6 is a 6" offshore trolling plug built with a cedar wood body and integrated lead head — the same construction that has made cedar plugs one of the most proven offshore trolling lures for over a century. The cedar wood body provides natural buoyancy and a unique swimming action that plastic lures cannot replicate; the wood grain and density of cedar produce a subtle, erratic wobble on the troll that triggers strikes from Tuna, Yellowtail, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi. The integrated lead head provides the weight for the nose-down trolling angle and the action that makes cedar plugs effective at trolling speeds. Pre-rigged and ready to fish. 3 oz. 1 per pack. Available in 5 colors. Key Features Cedar Wood Body — Proven Trolling Action — Cedar has been the material of choice for offshore trolling plugs for over 100 years; the natural density and grain structure of cedar wood produces a subtle, erratic wobble on the troll that is difficult to replicate with plastic or resin lure bodies; the cedar body absorbs water over time and develops a patina that many anglers believe enhances the lure’s action and scent profile; cedar plugs are most effective when trolled at 5–8 knots where the lead head and cedar body work together to produce the characteristic nose-down, tail-up swimming action. Integrated Lead Head — Nose-Down Trolling Angle — The lead head at the nose of the plug provides the weight needed for the correct nose-down trolling angle; the nose-down angle is critical for the cedar plug’s action — it causes the lure to dive and dart erratically on the troll, mimicking a fleeing baitfish; the lead head also provides the casting weight needed when the plug is used for casting to breaking fish. Pre-Rigged & Ready to Fish — The cedar plug comes pre-rigged with hook and hardware; no additional rigging required; simply attach to the leader and deploy; the pre-rigged configuration is set up for standard offshore trolling applications. 6" Body — Size 6 Profile — The 6" body length is the Size 6 profile, a versatile mid-size cedar plug that matches the profile of mackerel, flying fish, and other common offshore baitfish; effective for a wide range of offshore species from Yellowtail and Bonito to Bluefin Tuna and Wahoo. 5 Color Options — Natural Cedar (unfinished cedar wood), Blue White (blue back/white belly baitfish imitation), Dorado (Mahi-Mahi color pattern), Purple Black (dark attractor color for low-light and deep water), and Zucchini (green/yellow baitfish pattern); color selection depends on target species, water clarity, and light conditions. Color Selection Guide Color Best Application Natural Cedar Clear water, natural baitfish profile, versatile all-conditions Blue White Blue water offshore, mackerel & flying fish imitation, tuna & wahoo Dorado Mahi-Mahi targeted presentations, tropical offshore, weed lines Purple Black Low-light conditions, overcast days, deep water, squid imitation Zucchini Green water, mackerel imitation, yellowtail & tuna in green water Best For Bluefin & Yellowfin Tuna — Offshore Trolling — The cedar plug is one of the most proven tuna trolling lures; troll at 5–8 knots in a standard spread with the cedar plug on the short corner or long corner position; Blue White and Natural Cedar are the most effective colors for Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna in blue water conditions. Yellowtail — Effective for Yellowtail on the troll and when casting to breaking fish; the cedar plug’s erratic action triggers reaction strikes from Yellowtail that are actively feeding on baitfish; Zucchini and Blue White are effective Yellowtail colors. Wahoo — Wahoo are aggressive strike-and-cut predators that respond well to the cedar plug’s erratic trolling action at higher speeds (7–9 knots); Blue White and Purple Black are effective Wahoo colors in blue water. Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) — The Dorado color pattern is specifically designed for Mahi-Mahi presentations around weed lines, floating debris, and offshore structure; troll the Dorado cedar plug along weed lines at 6–8 knots for Mahi-Mahi.
