KOYA LARGE POI DOG - LURE HEAD

Koya Lures – Large Poi Dog

A proven heavyweight built for serious billfish.

One of the most trusted large plungers in bluewater spreads worldwide.

Overview

The Koya Large Poi Dog is a staple in big-game trolling, known for its ability to consistently raise and hold marlin in the spread. Built with a large, slanted plunger-style head and extended taper, this lure creates a strong surface presence while maintaining a steady, controlled track.

Its size and weight make it especially effective in heavier conditions, where it continues to perform without skipping or losing rhythm. Most commonly fished in the long corner or short corner, it’s a go-to option when targeting tournament-class fish.

Action & Performance

The Large Poi Dog produces a bold plunging action—digging deep, throwing a heavy smoke trail, and resurfacing with a clean, repeatable cycle. It pushes water aggressively without becoming erratic, giving it a natural cadence that draws attention from fish tracking below.

Its ability to stay in the water and cycle consistently at typical trolling speeds makes it a reliable choice for long days offshore.

Best Use Cases
