The Mahi Box — Mahi Mahi Fishing Gift Box
Four mahi lures and the shirt you actually wear offshore. Three hooked rigs and a chugger, loud, natural and noisy, so you have something for whatever the light and the water are doing. Packed alongside a UPF long sleeve and a water resistant snapback, boxed and ready to give. It is the gift you give the angler who already owns a rod.

Why these four lures
Mahi hunt by sight, and what they will eat changes with the light and the water. The Pink Phantom Striker is the loud one, a three hook daisy chain that reads as a fleeing baitball and pulls fish up off the weedline, with a hook in every squid so they can eat it when they arrive. The Mahi Striker is the workhorse. The Mahi Ghost Striker is the opposite end of the range: translucent white with pink and silver flash, the closest thing to a real bait, for when the water is gin clear and the sun is high. The Mahi Chugger pushes water on slick mornings when nothing is showing. Four lures is a working spread, not four versions of the same idea.
How to fish it
Short rigger: Pink Phantom Striker. Long rigger: Mahi Ghost Striker. Flat line: Mahi Striker. Prop wash: Mahi Chugger. Troll 6 to 9 knots along a weedline, color change or any floating structure: a board, a pallet, a frigate bird working. Bar Jacks runs these on the 400 to 700 foot Gulf Stream weedlines out of Fort Lauderdale.
Why the long sleeve, not a tee
Because you are on the water from before sunrise to mid afternoon. The white Bar Jacks Mahi Long Sleeve is UPF sun protection and moisture wicking, and it keeps you cooler than a dark shirt in full sun. It is the shirt you actually wear offshore, not the one you change into at the dock.
Rigged in Fort Lauderdale
Every Bar Jacks lure is rigged by hand on heavy duty clear mono leader with ball bearing stainless swivels, and fished in the Gulf Stream before it is sold. Ready out of the package: tie on and drop back.
Sizing
Pick the Shirt Size at checkout, S to 2XL. The snapback is one size and adjustable, so there is only one thing to get right.
Gift ready
Ships boxed and ready to give: the whole spread and the apparel packed together, nothing to assemble.
