Wood Pencil Popper is a classic fishing lure. Many species can't resist the action of a Pencil Popper such as Striped Bass, Bluefish & Tuna
A similar body style like its big brother the Sea Special, but in a smaller, easier to cast package! The flat bottom will help keep this pencil popper upright in rough and swift water. This is an excellent lure to throw when a bigger 3oz Sea Special is just too big, but you still need a long range cast. Mini Sea Specials are 5.5” long and approximately 1.4-1.65oz.
Take note: this Mini Sea Special does not float up on the surface like similarly sized pencil poppers. The Mini Sea Special is a bit heavier, and will start to sink when it hits the water. When fishing the Mini Sea Special, anglers must begin their retrieve immediately as the lure hits the water, and continue moving it quickly to keep this plug up on the surface.
Our other pencil poppers like the original Sea Special and the Fish Stick were designed to be fish-catching but also very easy for anglers to work/fish. This Mini Sea Special was designed for those very specific occasions when you need a heavier lure and longer cast in a smaller presentation. If you’re having trouble working this Mini Sea Special up on the surface, chances are you’re not retrieving fast enough.
Of all the lures in the 247 Lures repertoire, the Sea Special is definitely on the short list of “must have” lures! Designed to be fished in rough water and fast current, the Sea Special doesn’t roll sideways like other pencil popper style plugs. At 7.25″ long and 3oz, the Sea Special is the biggest lure in the everyday 247 Lures lineup.
Surfcasters can throw the Sea Special out past the breakers and work it back in with the rollers. If you’re fishing from a boat or kayak, the Sea Special is perfect for those current rips at your favorite breachway or reef. And where the Sea Special really shines is the Big Ditch, the Cape Cod Canal!
Rigged standard with one treble hook on the belly swivel and an inline single hook on the tail. This is a change we’ve been aiming to make for several years now, but finally have a quality vendor for the VMC inline singles we’ve been wanting to use.
(Exact weight and colors of lures will vary batch to batch and lure to lure. All of our lures are made in small batches, many of our colors are custom blends we mix ourselves, and even our internal lead weights are cut by hand. We do our best to keep lure shape, weight, and paint as consistent as possible, but 247 Lures is very far from mass-production where every lure is exactly the same.)
