The Coggin Lures Tado Mauna Kea Scoop is a massive offshore marlin lure built for tournament crews targeting the biggest blue marlin in Caribbean and bluewater fisheries around the world. This aggressive 14” double-tapered scoop head features a deeply cupped face with four-hole jets that create an explosive smoke trail, heavy bubble stream, and powerful surface commotion that draws attention from giant fish in all sea conditions. Weighing a substantial 10 oz, the Mauna Kea Scoop has the mass and stability needed to stay planted in rough water while maintaining a consistent, hard-charging swimming action at a wide range of trolling speeds. Designed with a subtle nose angle and the signature centered “hump” of the legendary Tado series, the lure tracks exceptionally well and runs clean from short corner, long corner, or teaser positions where top tournament boats demand maximum performance. Rigged with a BOM 702 skirt size, the lure carries a full oversized profile ideal for targeting grander-class blue marlin throughout Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Virgin Islands, and major offshore tournament circuits. Among experienced crews, the Mauna Kea Scoop has become one of the best-kept secrets in offshore trolling — a lure that consistently raises giant fish while many other charter boats simply do not know about it yet. Handmade by one of the world’s most respected big game lure makers, this is a proven heavy-water weapon built for serious marlin fishermen chasing tournament-winning fish.
