  • Heavy-duty terminal gear – Fitted with Halco Fish Rings and 9/0 inline single hooks

How to fish the Halco - Max 220

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Max 220 is a 220mm bibless minnow that runs several metres below the surface with a rapid sinking action, and the description confirms it works both cast and trolled. At 180g it casts long distances even into strong headwinds, so you can also fire it at surface-busting pelagics and let it get down before working it back at a fast retrieve.

Trolled, run it in the spread at anything from 2 up to 14 knots - the wide operating speed range and rapid sink let it hold depth and track true in rough seas where lighter lures skip out. Position it on the corners or shotgun and let it swim just under the surface behind the boat.

Match it to heavy game tackle capable of turning big fish. The heavy-duty Halco Fish Rings and 9/0 inline single hooks give maximum hook exposure for kingfish and tuna.
