Honorable Mentions: MagicTail, Joe Baggs, Andrus Best Daytime Surfcasting Lure: Savage Gear Panic Pencil Popper Pros Long casting Erratic surface thrashing entices fish, even in calm and clear water Cons Primarily a daytime lure Key Features Length: 5 and 6 inches Weight 1 and 2 ounces Thru-wire construction Two 4X treble hooks Wide array of colors A pencil popper is one of the longest casting lures in a surfcasters arsenal, but its real power is that it can pull fish to the surface even if theyre not actively feeding
Now I knew they wanted a small lure, and I knew they responded more to a white lure, so I put two and two together and did some experimenting I had some swimbait style soft plastics so I figured why not cut it in half and use the end of it to give a smaller presentation
I can also foresee further problems ahead, the carrying strap attaches to some webbing/straps that are attached to the boxs frame, it looks quite hardy and has lasted three years so far but what happens if it breaks or rots or the mice have a chew on it
The lifelike action of the 3D paddle tail creates a realistic swimming motion that attracts fish, and the solid wire through construction ensures that the lure is durable and long-lasting
I have not written much about fly fishing here, but this is a good time to address it because the trout are on the move and big fish are being caught
At the strike, let the rod bend over and load up, then just pick it up and fight the fish as usual
