About this lure

The FCL Labo TBO 220 Slim Floating Stickbait is a beautifully balanced, nose-up floating lure that delivers a smooth, natural swimming action.

Handmade and painted in Japan, the TBO 220 Slim brings proven FCL craftsmanship and exceptional topwater performance.

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

Fish the TBO 220 Slim as a topwater stickbait, worked across the surface where its nose-up float keeps it tracking true even in rough seas.

Retrieve with steady sweeps of the rod tip, feeding slack line between pulls to let the slim tapered body swing into its tight S-pattern, or walk-the-dog with sharper twitches for a side-to-side action.

At 130g the lure carries well on the cast, letting you cover ground and reach working fish, while the balanced build keeps it stable through subsurface chop.

Pause on slack line to let it sit nose-up before the next sweep - this settle-and-swim rhythm often draws the strike.

Match it to a stickbait rod and reel loaded to handle hard-running pelagics.

It's a proven performer on kingfish, tuna, GTs, mackerel and other pelagics feeding on or near the surface.
