Built for the crews that chase giants across the Caribbean tournament circuit, the Coggin Lures Tado Mauna Kea Pusher is a true heavy-water marlin weapon. This massive 14” double-tapered slant nose lure carries the legendary “Tado” reputation for raising big fish and staying in the water clean at aggressive trolling speeds. Weighing in at a hefty 10 oz, this lure has the mass and stability needed to perform in rough offshore conditions while maintaining an aggressive, consistent swimming action. Its subtle slant face and perfectly centered hump create a powerful deep-digging push, producing an explosive smoke trail and heavy surface presence that large blue marlin simply cannot ignore. The balanced double taper from nose to skirt saddle gives the lure exceptional tracking and stability, making it deadly from the long rigger, short corner, or teaser positions. Designed for targeting grander-class marlin throughout Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Virgin Islands, and the wider Caribbean tournament scene, the Mauna Kea Pusher is a serious offshore lure handmade by one of the world’s most respected big game lure makers for crews focused on tournament-winning fish.
