Suckerme CoastalBlitz Popper Lures are a high-impact, saltwater topwater lures designed for topwater action around New Zealand’s rugged coastline. Each 93mm, 12.5g lure is precision-tuned to create a splashy, noisy retrieve that triggers explosive strikes from aggressive saltwater predators like Kahawai, Kingfish, Snapper, and Trevally.
Whether you're casting from rocky ledges, surf beaches, wharves, or small boats, CoastalBlitz Poppers bring serious surface disturbance and visual appeal. With five carefully selected colour patterns, this set ensures you're ready for changing light, water clarity, and fish behaviour.
What’s in the Range:
- Rainbow Flasher – A vibrant mix of pink, blue, and gold. Perfect for bright, clear days when fish are actively feeding. Ideal for fast-moving kahawai schools or when kingfish are patrolling bait balls.
- Baitstorm – A natural silver and blue body with black spots that closely resembles baitfish like pilchards. Great for overcast conditions or when fishing sandy bottoms from shore or kayak.
- Sea Vampire – Black with a red face and silver sides. A deadly option in murky water, early morning light, or near river mouths. Triggers powerful strikes from kingfish and kahawai lurking in shadowed areas.
- Blue Tiger – Bold blue back with black tiger stripes and red gill accents. A predator-style pattern that excels around reef edges and drop-offs. Great for trevally and kingfish cruising along current lines.
- Bloody Ghost – A classic red-head with a silver-white body and a subtle pink shimmer. Best in calm conditions or low light when fish are cautious but still surface feeding. Particularly effective for snapper near rocky outcrops or wharf pilings.
How to Fish CoastalBlitz Popper Lures:
Cast beyond the whitewash, reef edge, or bait school. Retrieve with a steady series of short rod jerks and pauses. The cupped mouth of the lure creates a surface pop and splash, imitating a panicked baitfish. Use medium to heavy spinning gear, 20–40lb braid, and a strong fluorocarbon leader to handle tough strikes and structure.
Where to Use Them in New Zealand:
- Surf beaches during incoming tides targeting kahawai and trevally
- Rock ledges and reefs for patrolling kingfish
- Wharves and harbour mouths during low light or baitfish activity
- Kayak or boat casting near current lines, structure, and drop-offs
