Tyrant
Tyrant
Surface Popper
The Tyrant is a long casting surface popper with huge impact relative to its size and weight. With an asymmetrical design and low centre of gravity, you can fish all day with minimal fatigue, it’ll also take huge hooks thanks to its larger mass up front and buoyancy.
Tyrant Surface Popper
Topwater Chaos
There are certain situations that call for a huge explosion to stir everything up and conjure a bite from the depths. The Tyrant has been successful in this regard many times, attracting all the usual suspects: Giant Trevally, Kingfish, Tuna, Mackerel. For this reason, the Tyrant is a must-have in all topwater arsenals.
Tyrant Swim Action
Seductive Surface Splash
Unlike some poppers that tumble in flight, the Tyrant will cut through the air for super long casts out to the strike zone. A long heavy stab will create a deep blooping noise and explosive splash, short sharp jerks produce a porpoising action with seductive surface splash and water spray.
Rigging Options
Due to its buoyancy up front the Tyrant will work perfectly with any heavy hook combination, including large double trebles at the recommended size.
