How to fish the Halco - Twisty

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Twisty is a sinking metal lure that fishes effectively across a wide retrieve range, from slow, deliberate rolls to fast, aggressive strips.

Cast and work it through the mid-water zone (2-10 m), letting the curved profile create its signature wobble and flash on every retrieve speed. The lure's realistic baitfish action suits both casting and jigging; vary your cadence to match conditions and fish mood.

For deeper presentations or faster sinking, step up to heavier weights (20-70 g); lighter versions (1.5-5 g) excel in shallower water or when a slower descent is needed.

Pair it with standard saltwater or freshwater spinning or baitcasting tackle. The Vanfook treble hooks are reliable across both salt and fresh environments.
