How to fish the Tackle House - Contact Feed Popper 175
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Contact Feed Popper 175 to distant schools and work it with sharp, rhythmic rod twitches to produce crisp pops on the surface.
The rear-weighted body (74g) delivers excellent casting distance, making it ideal for reaching feeding kingfish and tuna in open water.
Keep the rod tip low and vary your cadence-short sharp pops followed by brief pauses allow the built-in R-Unit to add subtle sway, triggering strikes from fish tracking but hesitant to commit.
This floating popper excels around bait schools and works equally well offshore or near structure; light rod work generates maximum topwater disturbance without exhausting the angler.
