Great tips surfstix thanks. What is the latest in the year you guys have caught fish on pencil poppers or poppers?
I don't use them much after October.

I have used pencils less each year, 2016 don't even think I caught a fish on one, likely less than 50 casts all year with them. Last year used the 3oz Super Strike popper a lot and a few different spooks, like the Blitzseeker. Fishing water with more current, rips, I feel more confident working the Super Strike Popper.

I think the giant pencils are slowly going out of favor. If you go back five or 10 years when the spring and fall blitzes used to crash bunker into the jetties, they were very effective. Now that that's not happening anymore you can get better fish on jigs bucktails and darters.
