The Tulipa 230 delivers the noise and surface disturbance of a popper with the sleek castability of a pencil. Its slim profile is especially effective when baitfish are small or fish are feeding cautiously, while the aggressive splash, bubble trail, and surface presence ignite strikes from predators patrolling the topwater zone.

How to work it
The GachiPop Tulipa 230 is a slim popper designed for surface work on big pelagics.
Cast it out and work it with sharp, rhythmic pops and pauses-the deep-cut cup produces crisp splashes and bubble trails that trigger strikes from kingfish, GTs, and tuna.
The 90g weight and slim profile cast long and cut through crosswinds, letting you cover water efficiently without tiring. Vary your cadence: aggressive pops to draw fish in, then subtle twitches to hold them when they're cautious.
The free-moving internal weight ball adds vibration and rattle even during pauses, keeping the lure working for you.
