Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Tyrant 180P is a surface popper designed to be worked with aggressive pop-and-pause retrieves.
Cast it out and work the rod tip sharply downward to produce the deep cracking pops and explosive splashes the lure is built for-pause between pops to let the disturbance settle and draw fish up from deeper water.
The tail-weighted balance and asymmetrical body generate maximum water displacement, making it effective when you need high-impact surface commotion to trigger strikes from powerful pelagics.
Fish it from boat or shore when conditions call for loud, aggressive topwater action to fire up feeding fish.
