Charter Grade Long Range Swimming Popper 1.75oz - 4inch

The Hogy Long Range Popper: Features the same body design as the Hogy Classic Popper but includes advanced weighting plates affixed towards the rear belly section, adding almost .75 oz of casting weight. This modification allows the lure to launch significantly further than the floating version. The extra weight also provides stability in rougher conditions, enabling usage in seas typically too rough for standard poppers. The lure requires a steady retrieve with imparted pops, creating a side-to-side swimming action. Though it no longer floats, its extended range and unique swimming action make it ideal for reaching distant fish.

Sinking vs. Floating Poppers:
When targeting species like striped bass, bluefish, and tuna, the choice between sinking and floating poppers is crucial. Sinking poppers cast further due to added weight, ideal for reaching distant schools of fish, but require a refined technique for controlling depth and action. Floating poppers, while not casting as far, offer an intuitive experience, staying on the surface and creating enticing splashes. For beginners, floating poppers are easier to use, while experienced anglers may prefer sinking varieties for their distance and versatility.
