Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Duck Dive 190F is a slim floating popper designed for surface work on pressured kingfish.
Cast it out and work it with short, sharp pops to create a high-appeal topwater disturbance. The lure's level floating posture and easy-to-work action make it effective in tough conditions where fish are cautious - retrieve with deliberate pauses between pops to allow the lure to settle and draw strikes cleanly.
The slim body cuts through wind and surface chop, making it reliable in rough conditions. Work it at short to medium distances for maximum control and bite detection.
Pair with a casting rod rated to 120g, a 5000-8000 reel, and PE4+ line with an 80lb+ leader.
