All topwater anglers know the pains that you will endure after popping all day, this is the reason why the Urpekari will always have its own spot in my tackle bag. This diving poppers&#8217; massive bubble trail and nice little wobble on each sweep really seem to stir the curiosity of a large array of species including Spanish mackerel and large napoleon wrasse. Spanish mackerel really seem to be drawn to this popper and this is the reason I will only fish barbless with this popper as it has a high chance of being snipped off.

The success of their stick baits and popper collections over the last couple of years have dominated the sport fishing scene. But it takes more than just being an Australian company to harbour my support. The build of wood, the extremely thick coat of epoxy to the through wire construction, is just the start. The large \u201cbloop\u201d and bubble trail created seem to be irresistible for most of the species we chase as anglers. Another worthy point is that you don&#8217;t need a broomstick to work this lure. With its low tow point, a softer tip rod allows you to work the lure with ease whilst not losing the effectiveness of the popper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><li>Treble Hooks: <a href=\"https:\/\/fishhead.com.au\/bkk-gt-rex-treble-barbed\/?attributes=eyIxMTM5Ijo0NTUyfQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BKK GT-REX Treble <\/a>6\/0<\/li><li>Single Hooks: <a href=\"https:\/\/fishhead.com.au\/bkk-lone-diablo-inline-single-hooks\/?attributes=eyIxOTc2Ijo2ODEzfQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BKK Lone Diablo Inline Single Hooks <\/a>11\/0&nbsp; or <a href=\"https:\/\/fishhead.com.au\/decoy-castin-single-js-5\/?attributes=eyIxMzQ0Ijo2NzQyfQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Decoy Castin Single <\/a>10\/0<\/li><li>Split Rings: <a href=\"https:\/\/fishhead.com.au\/cb-one-max-power-ring-exh\/?attributes=eyIyMzkzIjo4NTM1fQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CB One Max Power Ring <\/a>#10&nbsp; or <a href=\"https:\/\/fishhead.com.au\/decoy-split-ring\/?attributes=eyIxMTU4Ijo0NjI3fQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Decoy Split Ring<\/a> #10<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Black-Ledge-VLF-Fishing-Poppers\" class=\"wp-image-27134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Poppers-1280-x-960-43-Medium-Quality-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/black_ledge_lures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">100g VLF Popper<\/a> producing the goods! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mentawai_fishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">@mentawai_fishing<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MB Customs &#8211; Moses 180mm<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>MB Customs adventurous Le, took brief hiatus from lure building so he could tackle the extreme course of Australia&#8217;s ninja warrior.
