Yo-Zuri Mag Popper

Magnet weight transfer. Through-wire build. Three sizes covering schoolie to tuna.

The Yo-Zuri Mag Popper is the long-distance casting topwater built for both inshore and offshore scenarios. The standout feature is Yo-Zuri's patented Weight Transfer System — an internal magnet bullet that slides to the rear during the cast for extra distance, then resets to center in the water for balance and quick, responsive popping action. Heavy-duty through-wire construction means a 30-inch bass won't rip the hardware out, and 3X-strength treble hooks come ready to fish out of the package. Three sizes (4", 5-1/4", 6-1/4") cover schoolie stripers all the way up to inshore tuna and big bluefish. Nine color options.

Specs

Rigging & Use

• Sharp downward rod-tip pulls to "chug" — the cupped face throws spray
• Long pauses between chugs — fish commit on the rest
• Bone / Yellow: dawn, dusk, low-light
• Green Mackerel / Bronze: bunker, mackerel imitations
• Black Purple / Black Back: night fishing, dark water
• Transparent: calm clear water, finicky fish
• Best on 30-50 lb braid with a 30-50 lb fluoro leader

Why We Like It

Yo-Zuri's magnet weight transfer system actually works — the lures cast a noticeably greater distance than poppers without it, which matters when fish are busting bait 70 yards out. The through-wire construction is what separates this from cheaper poppers; 3X hooks won't bend out on 30+ lb stripers. At $15-$18 per lure with this build quality and casting distance, the Mag Popper earns its place in any serious surfcaster's bag. Bone in the 5-1/4" size is the everyday Northeast pick.
