Halco - TBarra 80
Specifications
About this lure
The Halco TBarra 80 is the modern evolution of the iconic timber Tilsan Barra, originally designed by Til Martinello. Rebuilt in high-quality plastic, it delivers the same proven action with improved durability, consistency, and high-speed performance—making it a reliable freshwater hardbody for both casting and trolling.
- Legendary Tilsan action – faithfully replicates the original timber lure’s unique swimming action
- Suspending freshwater design – holds in the strike zone to trigger reaction bites
- Silent presentation – ideal for pressured or wary fish
- High-speed capable – runs true when trolled at speeds up to 10+ knots
- Durable plastic body – tougher and more snag-resistant than timber
- Premium BKK hardware – fitted with ultra-sharp 4xx BKK treble hooks
