Overview

Built for topwater presentations, this compact pencil popper is designed to walk, pop, and spit across the surface with minimal effort. Its rear weighting supports long casts and helps make the walking action easier to manage, while the head shape pushes water forward and the internal rattle chambers add sound to the presentation. It is suited to situations ranging from bluegill beds to the shad spawn, and it also sees use on blueback herring lakes. Out of the package, it comes ready to fish with two Owner treble hooks.

Pros

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Smaller profile than the Big Stik, so it may not suit situations that call for a larger topwater bait.
  • Designed as a tournament-sized topwater, which can make it more specialized than a do-everything lure.
  • Its walking, popping, and spitting action depends on angler input, so it may take some practice to work consistently.
  • Best used in topwater scenarios such as bluegill beds, shad spawn, and blueback herring lakes rather than as a general-purpose bait.
