Description

Originally designed by renowned swimbait craftsman Jerry Rago of Rago baits, the Jerry Rago Thunderhawk Poppa Walka pops, spits, and walks across the surface of the water to accurately mimic a distressed or dying baitfish. Featuring a durable hard-plastic body and soft plastic replaceable fork tail, a small chamber containing two tungsten beads is carefully positioned within the body to improve your casting distance and emit a low-pitched acoustic with every twitch of the rod tip. Built to be the most versatile walk-the-dog lure on the market, the Poppa Walka also demonstrates a unique serpentine-style swim and tight-gliding waking action when cranked underwater. Complete with a spare replacement tail and available in a wide range of forage-matching color patterns, the Jerry Rago Thunderhawk Poppa Walka is equipped with two sticky-sharp size #4 treble hooks to improve your hook-up ratios around short-striking fish.

Field Notes

Use this on the surface to imitate a distressed baitfish with pops, spits, and a walk-the-dog retrieve. It can also be cranked just under the surface for a tight-gliding wake when fish are chasing but not fully committing.

Pros

  • Versatile surface action: pop, spit, walk, and wake
  • Long-casting tungsten bead chamber
  • Replaceable soft tail and spare tail included

Cons

  • Treble hooks can snag in heavy cover
  • Best suited to fish willing to strike near the surface
