Halco Lures: The Laser Pro and Roosta Popper Explained

Halco Tackle is a legendary Ausralian fishing lure company founded in 1950. The brand is globally renowned for producing exceptionally tough, durable, and highly effective hard body, metal, and surface lures designed to withstand the harshest saltwater and freshwater environments.

Popular Lure Lineup

• Laser Pro: Widely considered one of the world's best blue water trolling lures. Bulletproof bullet-glass polycarbonate bibs make it perfect for targeting pelagic species like tuna, wahoo, and mackerel. The heavy-duty 210XDD variant can dive up to 9 metres at speeds reaching 12 knots. 
• Roosta Popper: A highly stable, modern top water surface action popper designed to generate maximum splash and rattle. Ideal for aggressive surface strikes from giant trevally (GTs), kingfish, and tailor.
• Max: A cutting-edge, highly streamlined bibless minnow. Highly versatile for casting, jigging, or high-speed trolling with minimal resistance. 
• Slidog: A heavily weighted stick bait option built for long-distance casting into heavy headwinds.
• Twisty & Outcast: Iconic, simple, and effective chrome metal lures that produce a high-flash erratic action perfect for land-based spinning or casting directly into bait schools.

Proprietary Technology

• InvisiGlo: A specialized matte coating process that allows lures to glow vividly in dark or murky water without altering their appearance or texture in broad daylight.
• Designed to Bleed: Chrome colorways built with a hidden, bright red inner layer. As toothy predators wear down the outer paint over time, the red mimics an injured, bleeding baitfish.
• Triple Turn Fish Rings: Heavy-duty terminal split rings that offer a 70% increase in strength over standard designs by eliminating the standard mechanical weak points.
