Malosi Staple Tyrant 180P

A heavy-hitting surface popper engineered to trigger explosive topwater strikes from GT, kingfish, tuna and mackerel with thunderous pops and violent surface commotion.

The Malosi Staple Tyrant 180P is a powerful long-casting surface popper designed for anglers chasing aggressive pelagic predators in demanding offshore conditions. Built to move serious water and create maximum surface disturbance, the Tyrant is a lure made for moments when fish need extra noise, splash and presence to trigger an attack.

Its large cupped face produces a deep cracking pop and heavy splash when worked with strong rod sweeps, creating the unmistakable sound of distressed prey struggling on the surface. This powerful acoustic signature travels through the water column and pulls predators up from depth, making the Tyrant an exceptional search lure for locating feeding fish.

The lure’s asymmetrical body shape and low centre of gravity allow it to remain stable during aggressive retrieves, while the tail-weighted design improves casting distance and accuracy. This balance also makes the popper easier to work for extended sessions, reducing angler fatigue while maintaining consistent surface action.

Constructed with durable dual-shell body construction and fitted with heavy-duty BKK Fangs hooks, the Tyrant is built to withstand the brutal strikes and intense fights that come with targeting large pelagic species. Whether you’re popping reef edges for GT, working bait schools for tuna or casting around offshore structure for kingfish, the Tyrant delivers the noise, splash and visual presence needed to provoke explosive surface hits.

When the situation calls for maximum surface chaos and aggressive attraction, the Malosi Staple Tyrant 180P is a topwater weapon built to dominate.
