Salty's FATHEAD
Everyone wants to
get their hands on Salty's FATHEAD
poppers
The Fathead poppers will stay right on top and
float high in the water. This allows you to work them nice and slow even
in real fast water like breechways and outflows. Drives the stripers
wild!
The FATHEAD is sealed
against water for maximum durability, and painted.
Weighted perfectly for
optimum presentation! The 1.5 oz version uses a VMC Permasteel 2/0 belly
hook and a dressed 5/0 VMC siwash hook,
the 3 Oz version uses
VMC Permasteel 4X strong 4/0 Belly hook, 4/0 treble tail hook. 150 lb
Rosco swivels and 2X strong 90lb Rosco split rings.
Oversized reverse
Holographic eyes for
maximum effect! Stainless Steel hardware where possible and through wired for maximum strength! Perfect for school blue fin tuna,
stripers, or LARGE bluefish!
Proper presentation of this popper is to cast then twitch the rod tip
while retrieving,
this will allow the lure to "walk the dog" from side to
side.
Vary your retrieve, slow for stripers, faster for bluefish. Digs and
throws water!
I like a very erratic action with these poppers, and don't be afraid to
rip them fast either!
"As
for the fathead, awesome, the thing casts a mile and catches fish like
mad. It's running a close second as my new favorite lure this season"
"I think a while back
I had asked you about the eel color, its my favorite, and it
killed em!!! Took 3 fish the other night, 18-25 lbs. I haven't
had that kind of action on a popper at night ever!!!! Made my
uncle run to Dicks B&T to get one, unfortunately for him they
only had the smaller sizes. He landed a few smaller fish on the
smaller fat head the next day."
"Just wanted to
let you know that I have been doing great on your fat heads in both
sizes-today I had a killer day on the 1.5oz pearl one-fished in blitz
conditions and even managed two bass on one plug at once-one hit the
treble the other hit the single hook buck tail. One of the things that
is so great about the plug is it throws lots of water without really
having to "work" the plug. These are very quickly becoming my fav
surface poppers and they are not too expensive especially on the fat
head Fridays you had. I will be buying more for sure!"

Watch that popper....
GONE. 130 lb tuna WANTED that popper! They
actually found it in the fishes stomach!
I get asked a lot about what colors are best?
Pearl White is the best imitation of a
normal squid. Yellow or Parrot at sunrise or cloudy days. Sunny days stick
with a color that has a high definition color hue change on
it....Blue/White or Olive/White. Spend some time looking at the bait
prevalent in your area and you will soon understand why certain colors can
give you just that little bit extra advantage to entice a larger fish to
take your lure.
Don't be afraid to use such colors as Blue/White, Olive/White or
Yellow/White at night either!
