Malosi Tyrant 180P Surface Popper Lure

The Malosi Tyrant 180P Surface Popper Lure is built for serious topwater action, combining long-distance casting ability with explosive surface disturbance that provokes aggressive strikes from the toughest pelagic predators. Designed with an asymmetrical body and low centre of gravity, the Tyrant is remarkably easy to work, allowing anglers to pop all day with reduced fatigue while maintaining maximum effectiveness.

Crafted from solid Paulownia wood and sealed in a hard resin shell, this lure features a 2mm stainless steel through-wire construction and multiple protective topcoat layers, making it tough enough to withstand brutal strikes from giant trevally, tuna, kingfish, and other apex predators.

The Tyrant’s unique design delivers versatile swim actions: a heavy downward stab produces a loud bloop and huge splash to call fish up from deep water, while short, sharp jerks create a porpoising action with a seductive surface spray. Unlike many poppers that tumble in flight, the Tyrant cuts through the air cleanly, achieving long, accurate casts that reach strike zones fast.

With outstanding buoyancy and balance, the Malosi Tyrant 180P can be rigged with heavy-duty treble or single hooks, giving anglers complete flexibility in their setup. This is a lure built for performance, durability, and domination on the water.
