These types of lures come in a variety of different lengths and sizes, but the overall intention of the lure is usually the same. These jerkbaits are designed with a small bill or lip that lets them stay down a few feet below the surface. They are not intended to be fished to great depths unless placed on a downrigger which is possible.

Offshore fishing is not for the faint of heart as it often requires hours of trolling for massive game fish species far out away from any shoreline.
Trolling skirts are highly popular with anglers who target the many species that can be caught in the ocean currents many miles offshore. These lures are most effective when trolling through open water as they will entice game fish to swim in and take a closer look.
