Tackle House - Contact Feed Popper 135
About this lure
A versatile topwater popper built for both inshore and offshore action with excellent castability and strike response.
At 135mm and 45g, the Feed Popper 135 balances compact size with serious presence. Its fixed rear centre of gravity delivers long, stable casts—even into wind—while the upright floating posture and cupped face create sharp, clean pops with minimal rod movement. Ideal for pin-spot work, this popper gets attention quickly after splashdown and is easy for fish to inhale thanks to its near-surface positioning.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Contact Feed Popper 135 to structure, baitfish schools, or feeding fish and work it with short, sharp rod twitches to produce clean pops.
The cupped face generates sharp sound and spray with minimal effort-let it rest briefly between pops to trigger strikes. Its upright floating posture keeps the lure near the surface, ideal for sight-fishing or pin-spot work in shallow inshore zones.
The 45g weight and rear-weighted design ensure stable, long casts even in windy conditions, making it effective for both shore and offshore kingfish and kahawai.
