Halco TBarra 80mm Hard Body Lure

Description

The Halco TBarra 80 continues the evolution of Til Martinello's legendary Tilsan Barra, transforming the iconic timber classic into durable modern plastic construction whilst preserving the exact action that made the original a staple in tackle boxes across Australia for over two decades. As quality timber becomes increasingly difficult to source consistently, the TBarra 80 delivers the beloved Tilsan Barra performance through advanced plastic materials that provide enhanced durability and snag resistance. This 80mm hard body dives to three metres, remaining completely silent whilst suspending perfectly in freshwater—allowing anglers to position the lure precisely in strike zones where barramundi, murray cod, and other predators hold. The action remains identical to the original timber version, featuring the distinctive tight, high-frequency buzzing vibration that triggers aggressive strikes from structure-holding fish. Built extra tough with superior snag resistance, the TBarra 80 excels in harsh northern Australian environments around timber snags, rock bars, and heavy structure. Fitted with ultra-sharp BKK #4 trebles that provide exceptional penetration and holding power, this lure proved its capability during extensive Northern Territory testing—catching nearly three hundred barramundi plus metre-class queenfish, mangrove jack, and threadfin salmon over four days of relentless casting and trolling. Halco's Bulletproof bib system ensures reliability throughout battles with powerful predators.
