About this lure

The true value of a bluefish popper is the bubbling generated by rod work. The balance of the "bubbles," "sound," and "posture" is the key to catching fish. The break head has a slim body, but the cup is made upper wide to create strong bubbling, and the floating posture close to vertical reduces miss bites and allows operation even in situations with high footing. In addition, the edge processing on the ventral surface allows it to enter the water with reduced resistance, and it produces a natural action of grabbing bubbles and wobbling with continuous popping and long jerks. It is a model that can respond obediently to the input of the angler as well as the basic performance.

How to fish the Palms - Break Head

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Break Head is a floating surface popper built to work the very top of the water column. Its wide cup and near-vertical floating posture mean short, sharp rod strokes generate strong bubbling, sound and splash. Point the rod tip low, work it with continuous popping and pause, then mix in long jerks to draw fish up.

The balance of bubbles, sound and posture is what triggers strikes, so vary your cadence until you find what the fish want on the day. The slim body with edge-processed underside enters the water cleanly, reducing resistance and letting it wobble naturally. The near-vertical rest also helps it fish from high vantage points and reduces missed bites.

Rig it on a stout topwater outfit with a strong leader to handle kingfish and tuna, which hit surface lures hard. Keep the rod loaded through the hookset and let the two trebles do the work.
