The Nova series is the second model offered by The Small Lure Company. This cup faced tri-jetted trolling lure was inspired by the 2016 StrategicAngler® limited edition Nova popper created and designed by Merv Rubiano. The original 2016 Nova was a keeled ten inch popper created for X-heavy setups and was converted into a trolling lure that offers a sustained bubble trail with a tight wiggling action. The Nova can be used on a flat-line or an outrigger as it will dance both inside or beyond the prop wash. Even at slower speeds around 6 to 10 knots, the Nova will cycle and break the surface causing the air to surround its unique head design. This cup faced design causes cavitation around the depression producing a prolonged bubble trail. The Nova heads feature a UV additive which makes it fluoresce in the blue spectrum to visibly attract predators even in cloudy and low light conditions. All lure patterns have been tested in various fisheries from the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic, Caribbean, Australia, Micronesia and Hawaii and has successfully captured some of the most sought after big game species across the globe. Perfect for Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi.
