Description

The Hogy Charter Grade Popper is a compact, easy-to-work topwater lure designed to deliver a consistent pop and sputter action with minimal rod effort. Built for inshore applications, this popper is tuned to perform well on light to medium tackle while maintaining control and balance during repeated casts and retrieves.

Available in 3/4 oz and 1.5 oz sizes, the Charter Grade Popper casts efficiently and sits correctly on the surface, allowing anglers to create clean surface disturbance without overpowering the presentation. Multiple internal rattle chambers add subtle sound and vibration, supporting visibility when fish are feeding near the surface or tracking baits from a distance.

This popper is commonly used when targeting striped bass, bluefish, small tuna, snook, and smaller tarpon, particularly in shallow water, around structure, or during surface feeding activity. Finished in a limited selection of imitative color patterns, the Charter Grade Popper focuses on practical presentation rather than excessive flash.

Where & When to Use:

• Shallow Flats and Back Bays: Effective when fish are actively feeding near the surface
• Rips, Points, and Structure: Draws attention in moving water and along edges
• Low Light Conditions: Dawn, dusk, or overcast days when surface activity increases
• Calm to Light Chop: Best when pop-and-pause presentations can be clearly worked

Recommended Retrieve:

• Pop and Pause: Short, firm rod pops followed by brief pauses to let the lure settle
• Steady Chug: Consistent cadence to maintain surface disturbance when fish are actively feeding
• Subtle Pop: Light rod twitches for pressured fish or calm conditions

Features:

• Classic pop and sputter topwater action
• Multiple internal rattle chambers
