Description
Poppy – A Pike Popper for Heavy Cover
The pike popper Poppy is a floating surface lure designed for fishing around heavy cover. Its shape and rigging allow you to explore difficult areas. You can therefore fish under branches, close to obstacles and around dense vegetation.
Poppy features a cylindrical body that creates a distinctive “POP” sound during the retrieve. This sound helps attract the attention of predators nearby. In addition, its tail improves the lure’s stability. It also adds a realistic touch to the presentation.
A Popper Designed for Difficult Areas
Poppy is rigged with a Texas hook. This setup helps reduce the risk of snags around obstacles. The lure can therefore pass under branches and over vegetation.
Poppy is particularly well suited to skipping. This technique allows the lure to slide under branches and obstacles along the bank. You can therefore reach areas where predatory fish often find shelter.
Thanks to its floating material, the pike popper Poppy stays on the surface between retrieves. You can then add pauses to your retrieve. A few rod-tip movements will bring the “POP” sound back into action.
A Distinctive POP Sound
Poppy’s cylindrical body plays an important role in its action. It creates a strong “POP” sound when the lure is pulled. This sound provides an additional signal in the water.
The tail completes the presentation. It helps stabilize the lure during the retrieve. It also adds movement when Poppy is retrieved slowly. You can therefore alternate short pulls, pauses and slow movements.
Two Sizes for Different Fishing Situations
Poppy is available in two sizes. You can therefore adapt the lure profile to the fishing conditions and target species.
- 10 cm – 18 g
- 14 cm – 48 g
The 10 cm version offers a more compact profile. It is suitable for surface fishing when you want a more discreet presentation. The 14 cm version has a larger profile. It provides a bigger target for larger predatory fish.
A Pike Popper for Surface Fishing
Poppy combines floating material, a cylindrical body and a Texas rig. It allows you to effectively explore heavy cover. Under branches, around weed beds and close to obstacles, it provides a presentation designed for surface fishing.
