Hardcore - Sonic Boom SB Pop (F)
Specifications
About this lure
The Hardcore SB Pop 150mm is built to launch like a missile, thanks to its internationally patented MAG BULLET® system—a magnetic weight transfer system that delivers explosive casting distance up to 80 metres. Whether you're chasing kingfish off the rocks or pelagics from the boat, this lure gets where others don’t.
Its slim, sardine-like body design mimics natural baitfish, while the aggressive cup face creates maximum splash and water grab to call in predators from a distance. On the retrieve, a powerful internal magnet locks the weight in place to keep the action tight and stable—no wobble, no nonsense.
To add to the flash, the SB Pop is rigged with Hardcore’s Real Lens Finish, a patented inner lens design that reflects light like actual fish scales. It’s tough too—the embedded holographic sheet won’t flake or wear off, even after repeated strikes.
Key Features:
- MAG BULLET® system for long-range casting (up to 80m)
- 150mm, 47g floating body – ideal for targeting big predators like kingfish and tuna
- Real Lens Finish with permanent internal holographic shine
- Thick-shaft hooks + wire-through construction for serious fish
- Cup-face design for surface pop and splash
- Built to handle offshore, rocks, and heavy current
Whether you're working the wash or firing casts into offshore boils, the SB Pop 150mm brings the noise—loud, long, and deadly.
How to fish the Hardcore - Sonic Boom SB Pop (F)
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Sonic Boom SB Pop to distance-the MAG BULLET® system delivers exceptional range, letting you reach feeding kingfish and tuna far from the boat or rocks.
Work it with sharp, rhythmic pops using the rod tip, pausing between strokes to let the cup face create maximum splash and water disturbance.
The 150mm body and 47g weight keep the action tight and stable on the retrieve, with no excessive wobble. Target surface-feeding predators in open water or around structure; the aggressive cup design calls fish in from distance.
