Vanguard Series

Twin Jetted Precision Engineered Bullet – Luminescent Heads – 2 Sizes

Precision Engineered. Exceptional Versatility. Uncompromising Performance.

Introducing the TIAMAT VANGUARD Series, an exciting addition to the Tiamat Lures range, combining advanced materials, exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding versatility in a high-performance, twin-jet bullet-style trolling lure.

Heavily keel-weighted for stability and consistent tracking, the Vanguard is engineered to perform across a wide range of sea conditions and trolling speeds.

Exceptional Craftsmanship. Stunning Visual Appeal.

Like all TIAMAT Lures, the Vanguard is handcrafted using WC792 polyurethane, an advanced material selected for its exceptional durability and remarkable optical clarity.

Available in four distinctive head designs, three feature beautifully luminous shell inserts, while the fourth showcases the spectacular BIFROST insert, renowned for its extraordinary light-reflective properties.

The result is a collection of crystal-clear, visually stunning trolling lures that combine sophisticated engineering with the finest in lure-making craftsmanship.

Take a look at the images below. These lures are seriously impressive!

The Vanguard offers three distinctive skirting options, allowing you to tailor your lure to your preferred fishing conditions and trolling pattern.

  • TIAMAT Pelagic Trolling Skirts: Choose from over 50 colour combinations featuring exclusive UV-NexGen technology, offering exceptional vibrancy, flexibility and visual attraction.
  • Genuine USA-Made Flashabou: Produces brilliant flashes of reflected light and dynamic movement throughout the trolling spread.
  • Genuine Glow-in-the-Dark Flashabou: Adds another dimension of underwater visual attraction, particularly in low-light conditions.

For even greater versatility, TIAMAT Lure Wings can be fitted to your Vanguard at the time of purchase using the options available in the shopping cart.

Trolling Speed & Sea Conditions

The Vanguard is designed to perform across a broad range of sea conditions and can be trolled at speeds of up to 20 knots, depending on lure positioning, line length and prevailing conditions.

Unlike concave pushers and slant-faced lures, the Vanguard’s streamlined bullet design requires minimal adjustment to maintain its intended swimming action.

There is no need to alter your trolling speed specifically to accommodate the Vanguard.

The ideal trolling speed is simply the speed at which the other lures in your spread are performing at their optimum level.

Whether deployed on the shotgun, long corner, long rigger or beneath the surface, the Vanguard delivers outstanding flexibility and performance for the serious game angler.

Recommended Trolling Positions

Shotgun? Absolutely. But Why Stop There?

Many anglers automatically associate bullet-style trolling lures with the shotgun position. While the Vanguard performs exceptionally well in this position, restricting it to the shotgun overlooks several highly effective alternatives.

Consider experimenting with the Long Corner or Long Rigger, or deploying the Vanguard beneath the surface using a planer or paravane.

Long Rigger – An Overlooked Opportunity

One particularly effective technique is to position the Vanguard on the long rigger so that it occasionally breaks the surface without blowing out.

Depending on sea and wind conditions, this subtle surface-breaking action can be an excellent way to entice a strike.

A Vanguard fitted with TIAMAT Lure Wings can be particularly effective when trolled in this manner, adding another dimension to its underwater movement and visual appeal.
