YOU KNOW THEY WORK

Giant Trembler

The GT is one of the most rugged, robust lures of its type in the world. The noise of the rattles and the tight fast action, make for an awesome trolling lure for pelagic species. Troll at 3 – 15 knots, although 7 – 9 knots is optimum for Tuna and Mackerel. Use this lure to troll your favourite spots or use it as a searching lure and cover vast tracts of the ocean – quickly. To obtain maximum speed the towing point may require tuning. If at high speed the lure tracks a little to the right (when looking at the lure), retrieve the lure and use pliers to bend the towing point to the left, not more than 0.25mm at a time. As with tuning all fixed towing point lures – the rule is to bend the towing point in the direction you want it to swim.

Where Can I Buy Halco Lures?

You can buy Halco lures from authorised Halco dealers and major fishing retailers, both online and in-store. To find a stockist near you, simply click the FIND A DEALER button.

Choosing the right lure size and colour depends on the species you’re targeting, the fishing conditions, and your preferred technique. As a general rule:

Lure Size: Match the size of the lure to the baitfish in the area. Larger lures are best for big predators like tuna and mackerel, whilst smaller lures are suited to smaller species like tailor, herring and bream.

Lure Colour
: Bright colours work well in murky water or low light, while natural colours are ideal for clear water conditions.

Yes! Halco lures are designed to perform in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Halco offers a wide range of lures suited for all conditions. Our lures are durable and built to withstand harsh saltwater environments, but they also perform exceptionally well in freshwater, targeting a variety of species.

At Halco, we hand-pick the best hook for each lure based on performance, durability and affordability. You can be assured that the hooks that come with every Halco are suitable for 90% of applications.

If you are an angler operating at that extreme level, for example, massive Giant Trevally or Dogtooth tuna, then it’s probably a good idea to upgrade to heavier hooks, just like a 4WD and its tyres.

Different styles of lures require different types of hooks, and we use a combination of trebles, singles and assist hooks across the BKK, VMC and Mustad ranges.

DESIGNED TO BLEED

The more they chew the better they look! Our Designed to Bleed concept means our chrome colours are painted with a red layer underneath, imitating an injured baitfish as the wear and tear naturally takes place (from all the fish you catch!).

INVISI GLO

After years of jumping hurdles, we have finally managed to develop the InvisiGlo process. This allows some of our lure colours to glow strongly in the dark, without affecting their normal daytime appearance!

UV

A heap of our lures are UV reactant and start humming when the purple light hits them! Similar to InvisiGlo, this UV reactant does not affect the normal appearance of the lures.

BULLET PROOF BIB

Halco bibs are bloody tough. Made out of the same polycarbonate material as bulletproof glass and combined with our unique, glueless bib locking method, our bibs are up for the fight.

TRIPLE TURN FISH RING

Halco Triple Turn fish rings are 70% stronger than your traditional split ring. The extra turn eliminates the soft spot, and gives you the confidence and ability to go heavier and harder.
