Williamson Lures

<h3>Born for Big Game: The Williamson Lures Story</h3><p>Few fishing brands carry a pedigree as distinct as Williamson. <strong>Born on the rugged south coast of Africa</strong>, where world-class gamefish roam open blue water, Williamson has spent decades engineering lures for anglers who measure success in billfish, tuna, wahoo, and sailfish. That origin story — forged in one of the world's most demanding saltwater environments — is not just marketing copy; it is the foundation of every design decision the brand makes.</p><p>Today, Williamson is part of the Rapala VMC family of respected fishing brands, giving it access to world-class engineering and global distribution while preserving the big-game DNA that made it famous. Whether you are setting a spread offshore or dropping jigs into the deep, Williamson builds tackle with one mission: to put serious hardware in front of serious fish.</p><h3>Trolling Lures Built for the Spread</h3><p>Williamson's trolling lineup is among the most complete available to offshore anglers. The range spans feather lures, light trolling lures, spreader bars and teasers, and the iconic skirted trolling baits like the <strong>Sailfish Catcher</strong> and <strong>Tuna Catcher</strong> — both of which come pre-rigged and ready to fish straight from the package. Many models feature a rigging spring cavity designed to accept ballyhoo or strip baits, keeping natural bait secure at higher trolling speeds. The result is a spread that looks alive at any speed, from a slow 6-knot troll to a high-speed 12-plus-knot run targeting wahoo.</p><h3>Metal Jigs Engineered for the Strike Zone</h3><p>Williamson's metal jig collection is a go-to for serious vertical jigging enthusiasts. Models like the <strong>Abyss Speed Jig</strong>, with its distinctive potbelly body shape, are engineered to drop faster and deeper, putting the lure in the strike zone with maximum efficiency. The <strong>Vortex Speed Jig</strong> features a hydrodynamic profile that causes it to rotate freely on the fall, triggering reaction strikes from pelagic predators. The asymmetrical <strong>Kensaki Jig</strong> rounds out a lineup designed to cover every depth and current condition an offshore angler might face.</p><h3>Hard Baits and Topwater Action</h3><p>For anglers who prefer casting and working the surface, Williamson offers a focused lineup of hard baits including the <strong>Surface Pro</strong> topwater walker, available in multiple sizes, as well as sub-surface and deep-diving options like the <strong>Speed Pro Deep</strong>. A standout feature across several hard bait models is Williamson's patent-pending <strong>Auto-Tune</strong> free-moving line tie, a self-centering design that automatically aligns the lure for consistent, true swimming action even at very high trolling speeds — reducing the need for manual tuning between runs.</p><h3>Lure Kits and Saltwater Accessories</h3><p>Williamson also packages its most proven big-game lures into complete kits — including the Sailfish Catcher Kit, Tuna Catcher Kit, Master Kit, and Game Fish Kit — giving anglers everything needed to build an effective spread in one purchase. Rounding out the lineup are purpose-built saltwater fishing accessories such as single and tandem assist hooks, crimp rigging tools, and fighting-ready gear designed to handle the demands of offshore angling from hookup to boatside.</p><h3>Why Anglers Trust Williamson</h3><p>What sets Williamson apart is the combination of field-tested design heritage and modern materials engineering. These are not lures designed in a laboratory and sold on aesthetics — they were proven on the water chasing some of the hardest-fighting fish on the planet. For offshore anglers who refuse to compromise, Williamson delivers the confidence that every lure in the spread has been built to perform when it matters most.</p>

Product Details

The Williamson Big Game Catcher 8 in Black Knight is a heavy-duty 8-inch skirted trolling jig designed to target the largest saltwater gamefish species. This lure features a specially-designed concave-shaped face that pushes water as it moves, creating an erratic swimming action that triggers savage strikes from billfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, and other pelagic predators.

Key Features:

  • 8 1/4 inch length, 2 1/2 ounce weight
  • Synthetic holographic foil skirt with 3D eye and embedded holographic foil head for maximum flash and attraction
  • Pre-rigged with VMC 9/0 hook and 5 foot, 175 pound test Premium Sufix leader
  • Can be rigged with ballyhoo, strip bait, or run "naked"
  • Trollable up to 7 knots
  • Black Knight color pattern with dark tones ideal for varying light conditions

This versatile offshore trolling lure comes pre-rigged and ready to fish right out of the package. Works great for targeting billfish and other large saltwater game, making it an essential addition to any offshore spread. The holographic skirt creates an enticing light show as the lure swims, while the concave head design produces the aggressive action that big pelagic fish cannot resist.

The best

I was not able to reach a live person to ask a question so I googled my question and was able to get the information I needed to order the correct item. The process to order was quick and easy.

You only had one of these items in stock. I wanted to purchase two. How do I know when it&#039;s back in stock?

Ordered a new battery, and got it within 2 days. I was amazed. The battery solved my starting problems and vastly improved my riding experience.

Everything went well with the exception I paid for 2 day shipping and received my package 4 days later, other than that all good.

Good to go

Quick and easy. Conversation with rep was easy and quick as well.

Quick and simple
