Overview
A long time standard of coastal surf fishermen, the Cotton Cordell's Pencil Popper is designed to deliver super-long casts. Within the tail section of each Pencil Popper is an added weight that forces the lure to sit 'tail down' creating a bobbing target. All Pencil Poppers are designed for a relatively heavy line and are equipped with super-strong, rust resistant hooks.

Comments: I love Pencil Poppers, and have caught more stripers, blues, largemouth and pike on the 6" Cordell Pencil Popper than any other topwater hard bait. BUT since Pradco took over, the quality of the hooks has gone way downhill. They just don't hold a point, and they get bent out of shape too easily on big fish.

Comments: The new 4.5" size is the bomb! Casts like a rocket and walks easier than just about any other model out there. Don't waste your money on fancier foreign top waters, this one works just as good if not better! If you fish clear water, try the blue nose model...

Comments: This lure has been around since the 1940's the original was wood. It flat out catches monsters. I'm loving the new 4.5" size !! Thanks Pradco.

Comments: Dont waste money with copy cats that are 4 to 5 x the price. This lure just works! Easy to work, lots of noise big splash too for those slightly windy days working it for stripers! Cast a mile! The only down side is the color selection.

Comments: the original. every pencil popper today is actually a clone of this bait. its been around forever, with good reason. it catches lots of fish, especially stripers.
Comments: a clone of the ima big stick,ata uch cheaper price.this lure whileit looks bland,boring and like not much,lemme tell u im not sure what it exactly is about it but fish LOVE to hit,kill and destroy this thing.its a real fun bait to use and watch the water boiling strikes.

Comments:This lure is a sleeper. The originals were used in the surf for stripers, but now with the lighter smaller versions, the fresh water fisherman can use them for topwater bass fishing. I call them the frugal mans gunfish by luckycraft. I don't say there superior but thier close. Also, the price is great. No lure on the market walks as easily or cast and hooks any better. If you give them a try I'm sure you will agree. Bait casting outfits with a 7ft. medium action rod and 17lb. to 25lb. mono works for me----
