Bonze Hydra Series – The Next Evolution in Trolling Lures
Introducing the Bonze Hydra Series – The Next Evolution in Trolling Lures
The legendary Bonze name needs little introduction in the world of game fishing. Designed by Captain Graeme “Bonze” Fleet and proven on some of the toughest billfish fisheries on the planet, Bonze lures have built a reputation for performance, reliability, and innovation.
Now, after extensive development and on-water testing, Bonze has released its most advanced lure range to date – the Hydra Series.
What Is the Bonze Hydra Series?
The Hydra Series represents a refined evolution of Bonze’s most successful lure shapes, re-engineered with modern materials, balance, and swimming dynamics. These lures are designed to run consistently in a wide range of sea conditions, hold their position in the spread, and trigger aggressive strikes from pelagic predators.
Whether you’re chasing blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, or other offshore species, the Hydra range is built to fish hard and raise fish with confidence.
Hydra Series Models
The Hydra Series includes six proven models, each designed to fill a specific role in a trolling spread:
Anaconda
A large, aggressive lure built to create serious surface disturbance. Ideal for big blues and situations where you want maximum presence in the spread.
Ballistic
A versatile, high-energy lure that runs clean at speed and excels in a wide range of conditions. A great option for covering water and raising fish.
BTK
A classic Bonze favourite refined into the Hydra platform. Known for its consistent action and ability to convert bites into solid hook-ups.
Hercules
A powerful lure designed to fish tough conditions and stay stable when the weather turns. Perfect for heavy tackle and demanding offshore runs.
Kraken
A proven fish raiser with an aggressive profile and strong swimming action, ideal for teasing fish into the spread.
Violator
Built for serious fish. The Violator has earned its reputation on big marlin and continues that legacy in the Hydra Series with refined balance and control.
Built to Fish Hard
Every lure in the Hydra Series is designed to run true, hold its line in the spread, and work effectively across a range of trolling positions. The focus is on consistency, durability, and action that keeps fish interested long enough to commit.
These are lures made for anglers who fish hard, travel far, and expect their gear to perform when it counts.
