Halco Roosta Popper 195 Haymaker

The Halco Roosta Popper 195mm Haymaker is built for one purpose — targeting the biggest and hardest fighting fish in the ocean. This is the largest and most powerful model in the Roosta range, designed to deliver maximum surface impact and handle extreme fishing conditions.

With its oversized profile and 117g weight, the 195mm creates a massive surface disturbance. The head design produces a deep, aggressive bloop that throws water and generates noise, making it highly effective at drawing attention from large pelagic species such as giant trevally and dogtooth tuna.

Despite its size, the lure remains versatile in how it can be worked. It can be retrieved with a traditional blooping action using a sweep of the rod, or simply wound at speed for a more aggressive surface run. It also performs well when trolled, adding another option for offshore anglers.

The recommended retrieve involves pointing the rod tip at the lure, taking up slack line and sweeping downward to create a strong bloop, then pausing to allow fish to strike. This stop-start action keeps the lure in the strike zone and triggers explosive surface hits.

Built for extreme durability, the Haymaker is fitted with custom heavy-duty fish rings and Mustad 5XX 5/0 trebles. This setup provides the strength needed to handle powerful fish and high drag pressure without failure.

When targeting serious offshore species, you need a lure that can hold up under pressure while still delivering performance. The Halco Roosta Popper 195mm Haymaker does exactly that, making it a must-have for anglers chasing the biggest fish on topwater.
