Billfish Flies for all destinations
Our Marlin and Sailfish Flies are used all around the globe. Anglers in the Algarve, Morocco and the Eastern Atlantic islands have many multiple-fish days on Aluco Lures flies as well as the anglers in Cabo and Mag Bay, Australia and New Zealand, in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica, to name just a few.
Billfish Flies in many sizes and colours
Our Marlin and Sailfish tube flies are available in three different patterns, each of two different sizes (3 sizes for the Aki). Eight colour combinations means there is something for everyone here!

Three different type of Billfish Flies
Aki Tube Flies
The choice of Champions!! Used by the top names in the game, our Aki tube fly range are Sigler-type flies, with natural materials and flash. Fully IGFA-legal, these are the flies you need for chasing Billfish records.
Tabua Tube Flies
The Tabua tube flies are a blend of synthetic yak, flash and natural saddle hackles which again allows for a fishy profile, yet are easily castable. The sheath of synthetic hair over the fly protects the more fragile natural materials beneath.
Cabo Tube Flies
The Cabo tube flies are the ones we started with, many years ago. They catch just as many fish now as they did then, and are perhaps our toughest flies. No frills with these, just synthetic yak hair and flash! Lightweight, easy to cast and they offer a big profile to the fish.
All our Billfish tube flies are meticulously hand-crafted in our Madeira studio, using only the very finest materials and components we can source.
The tubes for our Billfish tube flies are straight hard nylon tubing set up for a two-hook rigging. The tubes have an inner diameter of 3mm, allowing you to change flies even when using a bite-leader. The 3mm inner slips over the Bimini with no problems. Hook-holder tubing at the rear of the fly allows for a crimp or hook eye to be secured, but also allows for two flies to be joined together.
The seven-inch flies are fitted with 16mm 3D holo silver eyes while our nine-inch have 20mm eyes. These are flexible eyes which will not snag on the fishes bill, allowing a great hook-up rate. The eyes are epoxied in place, adding to the overall durability of our Billfish Flies.
