Tsunami Talkin Poppers

VMC 4X hooks. Talks loud. Almost the perfect popper price.

Tsunami Talkin Poppers are the shop's go-to budget popper for striped bass and bluefish. Equipped with VMC 9626PS 4X-strong trebles out of the package, durable plastic construction that holds up to chops from angry blues, and a deep cup mouth that "talks" loudly on the surface to call fish from a distance. The price means you can stock a full range of colors without flinching.

Specs

Rigging & Use

• Hard pop with pauses for stripers — let the bubble trail settle before the next pop
• Walk-the-dog with sharp twitches for finicky fish that won't commit to a hard chug
• Many anglers swap the rear treble for an Owner Inline Single for safer bluefish unhooking
• Size up to the 7" model for big stripers feeding on bunker; drop to the 4" for cocktail blues

Why We Like It

For the price, these are almost too good. VMC 4X hooks usually come on plugs costing twice as much. The cup mouth chugs hard, the construction holds up to angry blues, and you can fish them in the rocks without thinking about the cost. The go-to popper for the surfcaster who fishes hard and doesn't want to baby their gear.
