Cordell Pencil Popper 2oz Chrome Blue
The Cordell Pencil Popper 2oz Chrome Blue is a walk-the-dog topwater lure built for anglers who need a lure that commands attention on the surface. When bass, stripers, redfish, and other aggressive gamefish demand serious disturbance to strike, this hard bait delivers—combining the classic pencil-popper walk with a concave mouth that throws water and creates the kind of commotion big fish can't ignore.
The Pencil Popper's weighted tail does double duty: it helps you cast farther and with better accuracy, while also contributing to the erratic, unpredictable action that triggers predatory strikes. Whether you're fishing shallow structure, open water, or working edges where aggressive topwater presentations pay off, this lure is designed to produce explosive surface action and draw strikes from trophy-class fish.
At 2 ounces, this Chrome Blue version offers a proven fish-catching finish and the casting weight serious anglers need for distance and control. The Pencil Popper works best when you're willing to work it—steady walk-the-dog retrieves, pauses, and twitches all draw different responses depending on what the fish want on any given day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish can I catch on a Pencil Popper?
The Pencil Popper is effective on bass, stripers, redfish, and other gamefish that respond to aggressive topwater presentations and surface disturbance.
When should I fish a topwater Pencil Popper?
Topwater lures like the Pencil Popper work best when fish are actively feeding and aggressive, and when you need to trigger strikes with visible, audible surface commotion. Many anglers prefer topwater fishing during low-light periods (dawn, dusk) or when fish are schooling on the surface.
How do I fish the Pencil Popper?
Use a steady walk-the-dog retrieve by working the rod tip side-to-side while keeping tension on the line. You can also pause between twitches, vary your retrieve speed, or pop the lure harder to change the amount of water displacement based on what the fish are responding to.
