Super Strike Little Neck Popper – 6" / 2.25 oz (Floating / Surface)
The Super Strike Little Neck Popper (6" / 2.25 oz) is the ultimate topwater surf plug engineered for maximum casting distance, heavy surface splashing, and explosive topwater strikes. Designed to deliver incredible aerodynamic stability, this 2.25-ounce popper sails through coastal breezes to reach feeding striped bass, bluefish, and saltwater predators in shallow beaches, calm bays, and open ocean surf.
Created by legendary surf caster Don Musso, the Little Neck Popper features an iconic cupped face that chugs, pops, and sprays water on a steady retrieve. Unlike heavier sinking models, the 2.25 oz floating version stays on or near the surface, allowing anglers to work shallow boulder fields, flat sandbars, and estuary rips without snagging the bottom.
Key Performance Features
-
Exceptional Surface Action: Features a precision-engineered cupped nose that throws an irresistible spray of water, imitating fleeing menhaden, mullet, and spearing.
-
Aerodynamic Long-Casting Design: Balanced to fly straight without tumbling, allowing surf casters to cover maximum water even in breezy coastal conditions.
-
Shallow & Calm Water Versatility: The 2.25 oz floating/slow-sinking profile allows for slower, more enticing topwater retrieves over shallow reefs, flats, and calm ocean beaches.
-
Indestructible Molded Body: Crafted from Super Strike’s high-impact plastic matrix that stands up to crushing jaw pressure from large striped bass and sharp bluefish teeth.
-
Solid Stainless Through-Wire: Built around a continuous, one-piece stainless steel through-wire harness to ensure structural integrity against giant saltwater gamefish.
-
Saltwater-Grade VMC Hardware: Factory rigged with heavy-duty split rings and corrosion-resistant 4X Strong VMC treble hooks ready for immediate action out of the box.
Target Species & Fishing Techniques
-
Primary Target Species: Striped Bass, Bluefish, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, and Weakfish.
-
Ideal Conditions: Shallow ocean beaches, calm surface conditions, flats, boulder fields, and early morning/dusk topwater feeds.
-
Recommended Retrieve:
-
Classic Pop: Keep the rod tip elevated and employ rhythmic rod snaps on a slow-to-medium retrieve to create loud chugging and water spray.
-
Pencil Pop / Walk: Retrieve steadily with rapid rod-tip twitches to give the plug a side-to-side dancing motion across the surface.
