Description

Temple Reef is known for top-notch, high-performance fishing rods, but they also manufacture high-quality lures like the Ballista Line. Made from durable paulownia wood with stainless steel wire-through construction and a heavy-duty swivel as the belly tow point. This popper features a large cup that creates big splashes, bubble trails, and plenty of noise, making it perfect for Giant Trevally (GT) and effective for dogtooth tuna, snappers, bluefin, yellowfin tuna, and more. It performs exceptionally well in deep waters, attracting fish from far away. For the best results, rig it with two treble hooks.
