Tackle House - Contact Feed Popper 100
About this lure
A compact, heavy-duty popper designed for tough fish feeding on small bait.
At 100mm and 22g, the Feed Popper 100 is bite-sized but built strong—fitted with thick-wire ST-56 #2 hooks and #5 rings for reliable performance against hard-fighting species. The compact body and weight distribution allow for excellent casting distance, while the cup face creates sharp pops with minimal rod movement. Perfect for offshore situations when predators are keyed in on small bait, and just as effective for land-based casting around reefs or wash zones.

How to work it
Cast the Contact Feed Popper 100 around reefs, wash zones, and offshore structure where kahawai are feeding on small bait.
Work it with sharp, deliberate pops using minimal rod movement-the cup face generates crisp surface disturbance that triggers strikes without exhausting effort.
The 22g weight delivers excellent casting distance, making it ideal for reaching distant feeding zones from both shore and boat.Retrieve with a pop-pause rhythm, allowing brief moments of stillness between pops to let the lure settle.
Kahawai will often strike during the pause or as the lure recovers. The compact 100mm profile mimics small baitfish, so maintain a steady, aggressive cadence when fish are actively feeding. The heavy-duty ST-56 #2 hooks and #5 rings handle hard runs and head shakes without compromise.
