The Gillies Classic Bluewater Rocket Popper P163 is a premium surface lure designed for serious anglers chasing powerful pelagic species. Built with a unique tail-bias weighting system, this 163mm popper delivers exceptional casting performance and lifelike action that fish cannot resist.
The heavy 68g tail weight ensures the lure flies straight and far, giving you maximum casting distance even in challenging conditions. Once it hits the water, the tail weighting positions the lure nose-up, producing an aggressive skipping and darting action on a fast retrieve. This perfectly imitates fleeing baitfish such as garfish or saurie, triggering explosive surface strikes.
For added versatility, the Gillies Classic Bluewater Rocket Popper can also be worked with a slow, jerking motion. This creates a side-to-side “walk the dog” style action, similar to a stickbait, giving you multiple presentation options to entice even the wariest predators.
