Cordell Pencil Popper 2oz Chrome Black

The Cordell Pencil Popper 2oz Chrome Black is a topwater hard bait built for anglers who want to create serious surface commotion and draw aggressive strikes from trophy bass, stripers, redfish, and other hard-fighting gamefish. At 2oz, this popper combines a concave mouth that digs into the water with a weighted tail that keeps casting tight and adds erratic, walk-the-dog action on the retrieve. When fish are keyed on loud, visible disturbance on the surface—especially low-light conditions or stained water—this lure makes them respond.

The concave mouth design isn't just for show. As you work the popper with a steady retrieve and rhythmic rod twitches, it throws water in all directions, creating the kind of surface disturbance that triggers predatory instinct. The weighted tail improves both casting distance and accuracy, so you can reach back into grass edges, timber, and structure where big fish hunt. Chrome Black finish cuts through overcast skies and reduces visibility to the fish—a proven color choice for active gamefish in various water conditions.

Whether you're fishing shallow grass flats, creek channels, or open water, the Pencil Popper rewards an active, engaging retrieve. It's the lure to tie on when subtlety takes a back seat to impact and you want gamefish to know your bait is in the water.
