The 3DB Pencil Popper is a surface lure by Yo-Zuri, which targets mainly freshwater predators such as Pike and Zander, but can be used just as effectively on saltwater fish such as Seabass and Bluefish.

The 3DB Pencil Popper is a surface lure by Yo-Zuri, which targets mainly freshwater predators such as Pike and Zander, but can be used just as effectively on saltwater fish such as Seabass and Bluefish.

Lures featuring Yo-Zuri’s patented 3D Prism Finish technology are made to make the most of all available sunlight. Their body consists of many facets, which cause an impressive 3D prismatic effect. Inside, there is an internal hologram sheet, which sends reflections of the available sunlight and which can be seen from a distance. The prismatic facets enhance, or reduce, the intensity of the reflections, produced by the internal holographic sheet, as the lure moves underwater. These flashes cannot be easily reproduced by lures that have a round body.

The 3D Prism Finish technology, produces the same reflections caused by natural scales and attracts attacks from greater distances and depths. This technology is also a registered patent of Yo-Zuri and creates an effect, that enhances and diffuses the brightness of the internal hologram. All Yo-Zuri lures, which incorporate the 3D Prism Finish category, carry the holographic sheet internally and will continue to produce flashes even if they have had many attacks on their body.

The Pencil Popper produces an intense surface action, while at the same time, due to the shape of its head will produce bubbles, resembling the action of Poppers.

In addition to the Walk the Dog movement, we can apply Skipping on the water surface. The Yo-Zuri Pencil Popper has been designed to be balanced, with its head out of the water and with the first jerk of the rod to activate. To achieving its balanced stance, the tungsten sphere located in its tail, shifts the center of gravity of the lure backwards, making it stand, at a resting position, leaving the head out of the water. Another task that the tungsten sphere is tasked with, is helping the Pencil Popper make long casts.

Their action easily produces intense splashes, which in combination with its Walk the Dod motion, will awaken the feeding instincts of predators in the area. At the same time, the lure produces a rattling sound when it moves, by the two smaller spheres located in a separate sealed compartment, inside the body of the Pencil Popper.

The Yo-Zuri 3DB Pencil Popper Floating Lure features another technology, namely the Wave Motion Belly, which produces turbulence and vibrations during its movement in the water.

Yo-Zuri’s use of Black Nickel treble hooks clearly indicates that the lure was originally designed for freshwater fishing, however, its use in the sea is not to be neglected, on the contrary it can prove very effective.
