Salty's FATHEAD

Everyone wants to get their hands on Salty's FATHEAD poppers


Excellent action with huge reverse squid eyes!

Salty's is the ORIGINAL manufacturer of the FATHEAD wood lure line. Do not be confused with cheap imitations by others who stole our name and try to use it on their lures!



The FATHEAD is a hand turned popper, 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!

 

"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 awhile 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!"

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!
