I need to buy some poppers for a trip in 2 weeks. Please give me your recomendations on sizes and colors. What would you buy. Plan on spending a couple bills.

Where are you fishing? I think the action means more than color.

SkeeterRonnie · 06-27-2008, 05:39 PM

my preference is darker colors.

if I was to choose my favorites:
~KOMODAO: laser purple, laser blue,blue hawk, purple hawk
~WOMBAT : laser purple, laser blue, Mahi, Nemo

If we're talking tuna, Goanna cruiser. Pencil baits are the easiest to work, both in technique and effort. I also think tuna prefer them to chuggers. The 3 flying fish models are my favorite colors.

sorry,
It will be tuna. I couldn't remember what colors were working best on Seis tuna.

Can the poppers be purchased locally in the Dallas area or do I have to order online.

I like the wombat.. in laser blue.. but when the topwater bite is hot, they will hit nearly any color.. so get you an assortment..

Joe: You can usually get poppers from TJ (minnow)-he lives in Richardson. Send him a PM to see if your schedules line up.
