Halco MAX130#H71 Max 130 Lipless Casting/Trolling Plug – 5 1/4 inch

Halco MAX130#H71 is a precision-weighted lipless minnow designed for offshore anglers chasing tuna, kingfish, or wahoo. Its balance and weight distribution are tuned to deliver stable tracking at high casting speeds and during fast, controlled trolling, helping you keep the lure in the strike zone where fish feed most actively and visibility is high.

Precision engineering for offshore success

For the 130 mm model, the lure excels with low water resistance at trolling speeds up to 12 knots, while the larger 190 mm version handles speeds up to 20 knots. In either size, the slender tail increases exposure for premium saltwater hooks, promoting a solid strike zone and consistent hookups even in choppy seas. The MAX130 is built to perform under demanding offshore conditions, with a design that favors stable, repeatable action rather than erratic movement.

• Cutting-edge minnow design
• Extreme stability for casting or high-speed trolling
• Low resistance at elevated speeds
• Slimmer tail provides maximum hook exposure

Design details that matter

The lure’s precision weighting and slim profile are intended to maintain a clean, natural tracking path through saltwater. Its streamlined body reduces drag, helping you maintain speed control and consistent lure depth. Paired with premium saltwater hooks, the MAX130 aims to improve lure exposure during the retrieve and enhance the overall water experience for the angler.

On the water, this lure shines during long troll runs along reef edges and offshore structure where predators roam. You’ll notice smooth action that stays true in a range of chop and wind, making it a dependable option when you need to cover water efficiently and test multiple depths and angles.

What to expect on the water

• Designed for high-speed retrieves while maintaining lure action
• Premium saltwater hooks align with the lure to boost hookup opportunities
• Compact 130 mm size optimized for steady, controlled trolling at speed ranges

Keep in mind that performance can vary with tides, color choice, and line length. Halco emphasizes design intent and cautions that outcomes depend on conditions and technique. If you are chasing fast-moving offshore targets, the MAX130 offers a compelling combination of stability, action, and hook exposure that may help you test new depths and speeds with confidence.
