Description

The Hogy Mini Chug Popper, traditionally known for revolutionizing tuna popping, is equally effective for targeting false albacore inshore. Featuring a large cup face, this popper maximizes water displacement and creates an attention-grabbing splash. When worked correctly, the popper throws a significant amount of water ahead, amplifying splash and noise to serve as powerful attractants. This chugging style retrieve makes this lure irresistible to false albacore, especially in calm waters with scattered fish.

Field Notes

Use this popper when false albacore or other inshore fish are feeding near the surface, especially in calm water with scattered fish. Work it with a chugging retrieve to throw water and create splash/noise that pulls fish from a distance.

Pros

  • Large cup face displaces a lot of water
  • Strong splash and noise for drawing attention
  • Effective for inshore false albacore

Cons

  • Best when fish are near the surface
  • Less effective in rough water or when fish want a subtle presentation

Awesome little popper This little popper cast an absolute mile and throws water unlike anything you’ve seen. I can’t wait to put it in front of some feeding fish. The visuals are going to be amazing. It’s just the perfect size lure for fall fishing.

Haven’t fished yet Looking forward to having one more option when fishing for hard tails. They can be so damn picky at times so I am hoping the micro chug popper will produce results when nothing else will.
