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.



Key Features:

  • Large Cup Face: Maximizes water displacement.
  • Attention-Grabbing Splash: Effective for inshore use.
  • Chugging Style Retrieve: Ideal for false albacore.

When to Use:

  • Calm Waters: Best in calm conditions where the splash and noise can travel further.
  • Scattered Fish: Ideal for attracting scattered schools of false albacore.
  • Surface Feeding: Effective when fish are actively feeding near the surface.
  • Low Light Conditions: Use during dawn or dusk when fish are more likely to be near the surface.

    Super high quality and a great alternative to jigs

    As described by Hogy, this is a scaled down version of their larger charter grade poppers. It casts better than expected for a half ounce lure. The single treble is a smart setup. The lighter colors have worked very well for bonito lately.

    Looking forward to using these for the fall Bass run.
