Tackle House - Contact Feed Popper 150
About this lure
A heavyweight topwater popper designed for targeting big predators from shore or boat.
With a 150mm, 60g body, the Feed Popper 150 offers excellent casting distance and a strong surface presence. Its fixed rear-weighted design helps it punch through wind and reach distant boils, while the upright floating posture and cup face produce crisp, effective pops with minimal effort. The built-in R-Unit adds subtle, natural sway even when the lure is stationary—ideal for drawing attention in tough conditions or on the pause.

How to work it
Cast the Contact Feed Popper 150 to structure, baitfish activity, or tuna boils and work it with sharp, rhythmic rod taps to produce crisp pops.
The 60g weight cuts through wind and reaches distant marks from both shore and boat. Pause between pops to let the R-Unit add subtle sway-this triggers strikes in tough conditions when fish are reluctant.
Target kingfish and tuna in shallow, open water where topwater commotion draws aggressive feeding responses.
