Malosi - Staple Talo 180P
Specifications
About this lure
The Talo 180P is a powerful diving popper built to create a unique subsurface disturbance that big predators can’t ignore. Instead of pushing water above the surface, the Talo forces air down below it, creating a dense bubble trail and wide wobbling swim that triggers aggressive strikes. With a tail-weighted design for huge casting distance and a slow rising pause, this lure is deadly when worked with long sweeps, fast burns, or mixed pop-and-pause retrieves.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Talo 180P is a diving popper that works best with aggressive, varied retrieves. Use long sweeps to generate stickbait-style action, fast burns for a wide "S"-shaped swim, or mix pop-and-pause cadences to trigger strikes.
The tail-weighted design casts far and the slow-rising pause often draws explosive hits as the lure surfaces during the pause phase.Work it across the surface and just below, letting the subsurface bubble trail and wide wobble do the work.
The diving popper design forces air downward rather than pushing water up, creating a dense disturbance that attracts predators. Vary your retrieve speed and rhythm to find what triggers bites on the day.
