Description

The original Popeye and a true staple of the Mudeye range, this lure has been battle proven for over 30 years and continues to produce quality fish time and time again. At 130mm, the Popeye delivers a big, wide-bodied profile that creates a huge presence in the water demanding attention from predators. Unlike slimmer divers, its bulk and action make it an easy target, triggering aggressive strikes. Designed to dive to 2–3 metres, it reaches the strike zone quickly and holds a steady, reliable action throughout the retrieve. Whether you’re working heavy timber, structure, or open water, the original Popeye is built to get down, stay there, and get eaten. A time-tested classic that still gets the job done. SPECIFICATIONS Size: 130mm Depth: 2–3m Hooks: Fitted with 4/0 3X strong VMC hooks
