I was in Samoa recently and we had a good session on poppers/chuggers , Glen caught this good 50 lb fish,   I also use stickbaits. I tried about 15 other lures and we still using the one we caught the great catch on had no other catches.




I have 10k and 20 k Stella FA on Rod Works rods,  lots of poppers/chuggers and stickbaits (as we all know the shops will sell what they want) but found that 1 popper stood out on the occasion.

On a trip to Fiji some years ago I caught a good fish using a custom made chugger, by Anglers paridise / Jim & Conrad Sears.







My question is what is the difference between a Chugger and Popper, as i know it the stick bait is pointy and rounded and pulls through the water easy and therefore must be visual so no white water makes it a target.

Is the big splash of a chugger the way to go , or are the pencil poppers the way of the future.

What is the correct way to call a big cupped faced wooden lure ???? a popper or a chugger????

thanks for helping

same thing,as long as it does this youll be sweet!
