Skill Level (2.5 star)
Supplies Needed: 19/0 Circle Hook, Horse Ballyhoo, 20-inch section of monel or wire, 1/8th ounce lead weight.
This blue marlin pitch bait has been very effective over the years. The bait swims very well the instant it hits the water and the monel wire holds the circle hook securely in place.
Begin by pushing your monel wire through the pectoral fins of the ballyhoo.
Here is the side view of the monel through the eyes.
Slide your sinker over the monel where it is twisted.
Push your monel up through the ballyhoo mouth and top lip

Next, finish wrapping your monel around the ballyhoo bill
Finally, place the hook point into your loop, twist 180 degrees and you have completed the circle hook ballyhoo pitch bait
