Refined through obsession.

TANTRUM Lures

TANTRUM Lures was born from a relentless pursuit of better offshore lures.

Built through years of tournament fishing, charter operations, and time spent chasing blue marlin across the Pacific, every lure we produce is shaped by real-world experience on the water — not just theory.

From Kona, Hawai'i to Australia’s legendary offshore fisheries, TANTRUM Lures combines proven big-game fishing knowledge with premium materials, refined craftsmanship, and modern lure design.

Every detail matters:

  • head shape
  • balance
  • weight distribution
  • skirt movement
  • flash
  • tracking
  • smoke trail
  • rigging compatibility

Our lures are designed to swim clean, stay consistent in varying conditions and perform.

We believe a lure should earn its place in the spread - not through hype but through performance.

Built from real offshore experience

Founder Captain Nick Durham has spent years fishing some of the world’s most respected offshore fisheries, including extensive time targeting Pacific blue marlin from Kona, Hawaii.

Long before TANTRUM Lures officially launched, many of the lure concepts and designs were already being tested and refined in real fishing conditions aboard successful charter and tournament programs.

That same hands-on approach also led to the creation of TTS (Tantrum Tackle Solutions), a premium tackle company focused on high-quality offshore fishing products, now trusted by serious anglers around the world.

The evolution of TANTRUM Lures was a natural progression — combining proven offshore experience, refined lure design, premium materials, and a relentless focus on real-world performance.

Every lure is built with the mindset of a crew that spends real time offshore chasing big fish.

Designed for serious offshore fishing

TANTRUM Lures are built for crews targeting:

  • Blue Marlin

Whether fished in tournament spreads, charter operations, or private boats, our goal remains the same:

Australia born. Kona refined.

The TANTRUM story began in Australia and continues to evolve in Kona, Hawaii — one of the world’s most respected big-game fisheries.

Daily exposure to changing offshore conditions and the input of some of the best crews in the sport continues to shape the evolution of every lure we produce.
