Halco MAX190 1198 Lipless Purple Plug – 7.5in, 6.75oz for Casting & Trolling

Overview

Halco MAX190 1198 lipless plug in Black/Purple is built for anglers who want a no-fuss lure that covers water quickly. At 7.5 inches long and weighing 6.75 ounces, it casts with authority and sinks into steady retrieves. The eye-catching Black and Purple pattern catches light in varied conditions, helping you keep the lure visible at mid‑water depths or near structure. The inline single hooks design provides a clean profile and straightforward hookups while minimizing tangles when multiple lures are fished together.

Design and action

With a lipless profile and a dense body, the MAX190 creates a strong vibration and a compact silhouette that pulses as you reel. The lure behaves consistently at different retrieves, from a fast crank to a slow wind and pause—useful when fish respond to subtle changes in the water column. The inline hooks stay in line with the body for a cleaner wake and easier initial bite detection.
