The Halco Laser pro fishing lure is one of the most recognised bluewater trolling lures for sale worldwide bar none. We're not kidding when we say that laser pro is one of our best selling lure models out of all the baits we sell in our online store. We're placing orders generally every week to keep up with demand.
We have questioned why Laser pros are one of the best sellers in our tackle store, and we think it amounts to a combination between fantastic value for money (Halco are affordable), the colour finishes are not too shabby, and finally, they catch fish. It's not just a popular lure in Australia but globally.
It's not all just about bluewater either. We stock a 120mm size which we have found sells well for those heading up north to target barramundi and other northern fish species in Australia.
Laser pro fishing lures can be cast or trolled at various trolling speeds. The boys at Halco tackle, however, suggest optimum speed at around 6.5 Knots for the 190 and 160 model and 3-7 knots for the 120 size. The boys also suggest ideal distances from the boat are between 10 metres to 50 metres, mainly when trolling for pelagics.
There is a massive list of species that will take a laser pro when trolling the lures at different distances and a wide speed band. While we won't name them all, we will say that some of the most common targets on Halco Laser Pro Lures are tuna, barra, wahoo, mackerel, mahi-mahi, kingfish, sailfish, coral trout and too many others to list.
A handy pro tip though, if toothy fish are around, it is best to deploy your lures attached to super snap wire traces to avoid losing your laser.

Halco Laser Pro Lures Buying Guide
At the fishing tackle shop, we sell Laser Pro 190, 160 or 120 size lures. To take away some of the guesswork, we are going to detail a little more on each option straight below as well as revealing some handy info on our best selling colours a little further down the page.
HALCO LASER PRO 190 FISHING LURE (DD or XDD)
Our best selling size here at Fishing tackle Shop is the 190. It's the largest sized model in the line up for sale and is brilliant at catching bluewater fish offshore. The pure strength and durability, not to mention fish-catching success put Halco Laser Pro 190 lure leaps and bounds ahead of its competition.
The 190 fishing lure boasts a bulletproof bib system ensuring this lure will track straight and hold together when the big ones take a bite. The most successful speed for this lure is around 6.5 knots, but it's very versatile and can troll at a wide range of speeds for different species and scenarios.
The Halco Laser Pro 190 fishing lure comes in a choice of 2 models, the DD model which dives to 2 meters plus or the XDD model which dives down to 6 meters plus. While the 190 fishing lure is the perfect Bluewater trolling lure, the 190 can also be cast and retrieved from your boat or the shore.
One handy tip is to troll more than one Halco Laser Pro at a time behind your boat if you want to increase your catch rate chases further. Additionally, we suggest that you do so with a range of colours and troll them at 10-50 metre distances from the boat.
Halco Laser Pro 160 Fishing Lure (DD or XDD)
The Laser Pro 160 is the little brother of the 190 perfect for those times when the baitfish are little smaller. Apart from that, there isn't much left to tell. The 160 size does all that the 190 does other than it's a little shorter and the specs slightly differ as shown in our bullet points. Therefore, we would be repeating ourselves if we were to write the same things again.
Like the 190, the 160 size does come in DD double depth and XDD crazy deep models. If you pop a 160 size in your shopping cart make sure you pick your desired depth model (either DD or XDD).
Halco Laser Pro 120 Fishing Lure (STD or DD)
Now we're on a different playing field. While you still can use the 120 for bluewater applications, it best suits the angler that casts or trolls in sheltered areas including inshore grounds. It's our best selling size for those chasing fingermark, barramundi, mangrove jack or queenfish. At 11.8cm it's at a much more palatable size for these few inshore fish.
The 120 lure is also fantastic for targeting Australian salmon, trevally, school mackerel, bonito and tailor from rock platforms when the conditions present as ideal.
Best Colours
That's the million-dollar question. Well, indeed we suggest you purchase a range of colours if you can afford to do so, but if it's our sales data you're after should you need to narrow your choice down, then our best selling colours in 190 or 160 sizes are H50 Pilchard, H53 White Red Head, H79 Stripey and H57 Baitfish.
In the 120 sizes, it is a little more refined as generally target species differ, but H50 pilchard remains on the list a firm favourite for a wide range of species and even King Salmon over in Chile believe it or not love the H50. Other best colours in the 120 model include R26 Golden Green, R21 Chrome Silver multi, H70 King brown and H51 Chrome Gold.

The business as a whole started back in 2001 as Fishing Aqua Pet, a small retail Fishing Tackle, Aquarium and Pet store run by proprietor Ben Czulowski
In 2006 the pet and aquarium side of the business was dissolved and we focused just on the Fishing / Water sport side of the business renaming our trading name to Ocean Storm Fishing Tackle.
2005-2006 were slow beginnings online as I created my online store by myself from scratch. I received a small amount of orders per week but in 2007 saw our business explode to a new level after we passed the first few initial years of teething. I also expanded our product range to several thousand products most of which are stocked items ready to ship.
In 2012 I opened a massive warehouse store and have expanded our online fishing store into an online camping store also as well as offering for sale boating bits, soft surfboards and a whole lot more.
Today Ocean Storm has grown to the level of processing tens of thousands of orders a year and have built up a huge level of trust and confidence with our customers.
