Fulling Mill Nyap is a foam popper pattern designed for giant trevally and other large saltwater predators. It pairs a compact foam body with a dependable Gamakatsu SL12 hook to deliver a clean, durable strike presentation that stands up to the demands of big-water fishing.
Designed by Fulling Mill consultant James Christmas, who has guided on Alphonse Island in the Seychelles, Nyap has earned a reputation for producing take-worthy encounters in GT fisheries worldwide. The simple construction keeps the pattern light yet rugged, enabling aggressive casting and sharp hook penetration when a wake is running or a tailing GT appears. In practice, the Nyap offers consistent performance in tropical and subtropical flats and bluewater environments.
Top tip from Fin Chaser Magazine is to take a handful on board; a single GT strike can damage the foam body, leaving you with fewer options when a big fish appears. With Nyap, you can rotate through multiple patterns and maintain confidence on the rip.
