C.Crisp Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Does anyone make a 1/2 oz popper for back bays? Not looking for a 3/4 oz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishless Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Is weight that important? Would the small SS floating popper work? If that's too big than downsize to the Smack It. "I was a waste of time dumbasses" Sevenxseventy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beached again Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Only thing that comes to mind right now. Also available in red/white. Where there's a will, there's a dead guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Crisp Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I have thrown the ss popper, and it works, but about 1/2 oz is the sweet spot for my back bay rod. The top knock 5/8 version casts perfectly, but I’d like to have the option of a small popper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfin Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Creek Chub 1/2 oz is a little killer of a plug. Has been for decades. I'd buy it in chrome and white. Cast like a little bullet too. It will need a hook swap! Edited November 30, 2021 by redfin MikeK, cmdrzog, MAGA and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWitek Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Not really a popper, but the Gibbs 1/2 oz Pencil Popper has done good work for me in the back bays and tidal creeks in Long Island Sound.

Jason B Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) The Smack-its are awesome, but if you want wood, I used a couple RM poppers out back that killed them. I think they’re around .5 Edited November 30, 2021 by Jason B "It's the weekend, I don't know you, you don't exist to me." The Hangover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Creek Chub made 1/2 oz Striper Strike poppers if I recall correctly Heavy Hooksetter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beached again Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Creek chub, yes. Why didn't I think of these. I probably have a dozen of the knuckle head Jr plugs. Great plug but you must change the hooks. I lost big fish to hooks that were straightened out. Where there's a will, there's a dead guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
