Super Strike Little Neck Popper – 6" / 3 oz (Heavy Sinking)
The Super Strike Little Neck Popper (6" / 3 oz) is an iconic, heavy-sinking surf plug built to deliver long-distance casting performance and explosive surface action. Engineered to punch through severe ocean winds and heavy surf, this 3-ounce heavy hitter reaches outer sandbars and distant rips where big striped bass and bluefish hold.
Designed by legendary surf caster Don Musso, the Little Neck Popper features a distinct cupped face that generates an irresistible, loud popping noise and heavy water spray on a quick retrieve. Because this model is heavy sinking, anglers can work it as a classic topwater popper with a fast retrieve, or let it sink deeper into the water column to swim like a subsurface swimmer or slider.
Key Performance Features
-
Extreme Distance Casting: Packed with 3 ounces of weight in a compact 6-inch body, this lure casts like a bullet into heavy onshore winds without tumbling or stalling.
-
Versatile Sinking Action: Work it fast on the surface for explosive popping and splashing, or slow down your retrieve to work the plug lower in the water column during rough surf conditions.
-
Indestructible Molded Plastic: Crafted from Super Strike’s high-impact plastic matrix designed to withstand crushing jaw pressure from trophy striped bass and sharp teeth from bluefish.
-
Continuous Through-Wire System: Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel through-wire harness for ultimate structural integrity against massive ocean gamefish.
-
Saltwater-Ready Hardware: Pre-rigged with corrosion-resistant 4X Strong VMC treble hooks and heavy-duty split rings ready for harsh saltwater environments right out of the package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 6" 3oz Little Neck Popper floating or sinking?
A: This model is heavy sinking. While it creates excellent topwater pop and splash when retrieved quickly, its 3-ounce weight allows it to sink quickly when paused, making it ideal for deep water or rough surf.
