Quick take
The Red Head colorway of the Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Pencil Popper is a floating topwater bait about 5 3/8 inches long. Its flat bottom and horizontal posture let it walk from side to side, and a single-knock rattle in the rear helps it call fish from a distance. The cupped mouth throws spray on the surface, which suits inshore striped bass and other saltwater topwater fishing.
Best for
- Striped bass in coastal bays and estuaries
- Walking the dog topwater presentations
- Calling fish from long distances
Skip if
- You need silent presentations
- You fish subsurface exclusively
Strengths
- Flat bottom and horizontal posture enable easy walking
- Single knock rattle calls fish from distance
- 3D prism finish resists chipping in saltwater
Trade-offs
