The Coggin Tado Mauna Loa Invert 12” 9oz is one of the most legendary big game trolling lures ever built for targeting blue marlin and other pelagic giants. Featuring Coggin’s famous double taper head design with the signature mid-head “hump,” the Mauna Loa creates an aggressive yet controlled swimming action that marlin simply cannot ignore. The slightly slanted inverted nose combined with 4-hole jets produces a heavy smoke trail, long bubble stream, and erratic surface tracking that excels in rough offshore conditions throughout the Caribbean and beyond. Rigged with a 12” skirt saddle, this lure has become one of the most sought-after marlin lures in the world because of its proven tournament history, ability to raise giant fish, and reputation for consistently producing explosive strikes from trophy blue marlin.
Recommendations: Hook size 10-11 / Leader 400-600
