The Shimano SP-Orca Baby Black Purple is a compact subsurface lure engineered for offshore anglers targeting selective pelagic predators such as tuna when they are keyed on small baitfish. Its heavy center-weighted body allows long-distance casts despite its small profile, making it ideal for covering open water efficiently. When worked with a jerk-and-fall cadence, opening the bail between jerks to let it sink, the lure maintains its depth and stays in the strike zone longer. On the fall, it sinks horizontally with a subtle wobble, while steady rod jerks produce a dynamic rolling action to trigger reaction bites. Built for precision, versatility, and reach, the SP-Orca Baby excels whenever finicky pelagics demand a smaller presentation.
