How to fish the Maria - Legato 190F
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Fish the Legato 190F on a high-speed, steady retrieve to trigger strikes from cautious pelagics.
Cast and wind hard and fast - the tight flashing action and internal magnet system keep the lure swimming level just below the surface, imitating fleeing baitfish like flying fish.
This approach works best in calm, clear conditions and bright light when fish are wary and need aggressive stimulation to bite.Pair it with solid saltwater tackle rated for kingfish and tuna.
The lure's castability and weight distribution suit longer casts across open water. Work it in flat conditions where its subsurface runner action and dimple-body slide are most visible to feeding pelagics.
