Type: silent popper, long casting Length: 131 mm (5 ”) Weight: 36 g (1 1/4 oz) Treble hooks: super sharp treble hooks resistant to marine corrosion 3X, n ° 2 # 2 Concept and Design The name derives from Antonio Crasà, Totò for friends, a member of the staff of the brand, who had the first idea and created the first wooden prototype from which the entire design and construction phase of the model started. With the creation of this artificial, precisely for its aesthetic singularity, but above all for what it represents as a technician, the bar of the design of the latest generation hard baits is greatly increased. In this case, the design studio leaves the naturalistic scheme of imitations of colors or shapes similar to reality, to go in search of new profiles and surfaces that are functional to the movement that the artificial wants in the water. So what does all this innovation consist of? In the use of a simple shape that has taken more than two years of studies and tests to place it correctly and ensure that during swimming it creates complex forces that cause surprising actions: a hole. A simple hole which however involves an important innovation in the world of artificial baits. A hole that obviously generates vibrations other than normal and which, for this reason, are perceived by fish more effectively and which causes very interesting behavior in water that is difficult to compare with any other popper on the market. A designer can immediately imagine what importance and what forces are generated with the presence of the anomaly of a hole in the back of the model. These forces are created by the particular and asymmetrical shape of the surfaces that create the hole and that interrupt the water threads that normally adhere to the sides and body of the artificial during the recovery. To correctly design the surfaces, in particular those in the area around the hole, let's call it the "hole chamber", we decided to use programs dedicated to structural mechanics and fluid dynamics that offered us the possibility of simulating various configurations related to the structural behavior of the artificial. in the image the intensity of the forces exerted by the hydrodynamic flows inside the hole chamber are highlighted with different colors. The two asymmetrical lateral flares serve, in fact, to convey a greater quantity of air and water in the area in question and, in collaboration with the curved abutment surfaces create a friction in the rear part of the artificial and interact continuously in the swimming of the model. We could simplify the action as a brake which among other things generates a characteristic "thrill" at regular intervals during the recovery action which is really very interesting. In addition to this, the bait once entered the water accumulates, right inside the hole, an air bubble that lightens the back favoring its initial wagging. Jerkando subsequently with energy, the artificial creates a tube of bubbles, which is dispersed in the water, much higher than that formed by the normal poppers, both for the presence of the surplus of air retained by the hole and and above all for the strong turbulence that creates within the complex system of the "chamber of the hole". Another characteristic caused by the rear brake, examined previously, is the immediate arrest of the artificial when the fisherman stops the recovery. The bait stops as during the pause of a video! A total absence of embrace. In general the lure can be described as a “swimmer popper that automatically enters and exits the water during the recovery action without requiring any particular action with the rod by the fisherman. Recovered linearly, or alternated with short or long jerks, it creates a truly impressive underwater tube of bubbles interspersed with a characteristic "shiver" of the bait that autonomously enters into vibration at regular intervals. The Toto is perfect even if used in tears when stationary to break the surface and create large splashes on the water. Launch? Far removed. in this cross section made at the hole you can clearly notice the fairing of the lower part. As regards the chamber of the hole, which undoubtedly characterizes all the aesthetics of the bait, specific metallic colors have been chosen, but not reflective, to create a shiny / opaque alternation while swimming that has seemed to give excellent results in fishing. In transparent models this different brightness is caused by the rhythmic flashes due to the different angles of the internal metallic foil during the roll action of the bait. Given the particular resistance of the anchors, it is dedicated in particular to greenhouse, lecce and amberjacks but in general to all fish of the Mediterranean area such as barracuda and medium-sized tunnids. The Toto 131 has the pass-through armature and the design is registered level
