Cordell Pencil Popper 2oz Bone
When bass, stripers, redfish, and other hard-fighting gamefish are feeding on the surface, a topwater lure that commands attention is exactly what you need. The Cordell Pencil Popper 2oz Bone is a hard topwater bait built to create the kind of surface commotion that triggers aggressive strikes from trophy-class fish. This lure walks the dog across the water with a natural, enticing side-to-side action, but its concave mouth design also digs in and displaces serious water—making it the right choice when you need a loud, attention-grabbing presentation rather than a subtle approach.
The Pencil Popper's weighted tail isn't just along for the ride. That tail weight pulls double duty: it lets you cast farther with better accuracy, and it contributes to the lure's erratic, unpredictable action in the water. Whether you're working shallow flats, rocky points, or grass lines, that combination of castability and aggressive movement keeps fish interested and hunting.
Available in a classic Bone finish, this 2oz topwater is sized to match the forage bass and stripers key on while still being substantial enough to throw into wind and cover distance. If your gamefish are active and looking up, a Cordell Pencil Popper is a proven choice that's earned its reputation among serious anglers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish will the Pencil Popper catch?
The Cordell Pencil Popper is proven on trophy bass, stripers, redfish, and other aggressive gamefish that feed on the surface. It's especially effective when fish are actively hunting and willing to chase.
How is the Pencil Popper different from other topwater lures?
The concave mouth design sets it apart—while it walks the dog like a traditional pencil popper, that mouth shape also throws and catches a lot of water, creating serious surface disturbance. This makes it the right choice when you need a loud, attention-grabbing lure rather than a subtle presentation.
Does the weighted tail really help with casting?
Yes. The weighted tail improves both casting distance and accuracy, letting you reach cover and structure more effectively. It also adds to the lure's erratic, reactive action in the water.
