Why Are These Fish Attracted to This Popper Fish Lure?

The popper lure is designed to imitate an injured baitfish struggling on the water’s surface, triggering predatory instincts in fish. Here’s why species like kingfish, kahawai, trevally, and tuna in New Zealand waters are attracted to it:

1. Noisy Surface Disturbance

• The cupped face of the popper creates a loud splash and bubble trail when jerked across the water.
• Predatory fish, like kingfish and kahawai, are drawn to sudden water movement as they associate it with baitfish trying to escape.
• The noise mimics panicked baitfish, making it hard for predators to resist.

2. Flash and Contrast

• The pink, white, and yellow coloration with black dots creates a high-contrast profile, making it easier for fish to spot from below.
• Many predatory fish attack lures based on flash and silhouette, not just color.
• The shiny, reflective surface mimics the flash of baitfish scales, which excites fish like trevally and tuna.

3. Erratic Movement Mimics Injured Fish

• When popped correctly, the lure "skitters" across the surface in an unpredictable way.
• Injured or distressed baitfish often break the surface when chased, and this action mimics that perfectly.
• Species like snapper and trevally will sometimes come up from below to hit lures behaving this way.

4. Topwater Aggression Triggers

• Fish like kahawai and kingfish naturally hunt at the surface, chasing schools of pilchards and anchovies.
• The large eye design on the lure enhances its predatory trigger, as many fish instinctively aim for the head when attacking prey.
• Tuna and other pelagic fish are hardwired to respond aggressively to fast-moving surface prey, making them more likely to strike.

5. Suitable Size for Big Predators

• At 12.5 cm and 40g, this lure is the perfect size for mimicking medium-sized baitfish, like piper (garfish), anchovies, and juvenile mullet.
• Big kingfish and kahawai prefer larger, more active prey, so the popper’s size makes it an attractive target.

Bonus: Why the Black Dots?

• Some baitfish, like juvenile kahawai and trevally, have spots or patterns along their sides.
• The black dots along the lure help break up its shape, making it look more like a real fish and reducing suspicion from cautious predators.
