Built to reach distant blitzes and survive brutal surface strikes, the Northbar Tackle Flying Squid Pencil Popper (8", 3.5 oz) is an aerodynamic powerhouse engineered for serious surf casters and offshore boat anglers.
At 8 inches and 3.5 ounces, this heavyweight topwater plug is built to launch into stiff onshore winds and reach outer sandbars where trophy striped bass, gator bluefish, false albacore, and schoolie tuna feed. Its signature four-fin head design acts like arrow fletching in flight—stabilizing the lure to eliminate mid-air tumble for bullet-straight, maximum-distance casts. Once on the water, those same fins dig into the surface on a walk-the-dog or skipping retrieve, throwing extra spray and creating chaotic commotion that imitates a fleeing squid.
Key Features:
-
Finned Aerodynamic Design: Four molded head fins stabilize flight into strong headwinds for unmatched casting distance and accuracy.
-
Explosive Topwater Commotion: Cupped mouth and forward fins spit water and throw erratic spray on every twitch of the rod tip.
-
Heavy-Duty Surf Construction: Built with a rugged, high-impact body and full through-wire construction to handle trophy-class predators without failing.
-
Tournament-Grade Hardware: Rigged out of the box with 4X strong VMC treble hooks, heavy-duty Krok swivels, and Wolverine split rings.

Used a friends at Montauk in May 24th week and caught countless amount of bluefish in the 10-20 lbs. range. It casts like a rocket ship to get out where the big blues where at. Awesome !!! That's why I purchased 2.
