Yo-Zuri Mag Popper

Magnet weight transfer. Through-wire build. Three sizes covering schoolie to tuna.

The Yo-Zuri Mag Popper is the long-distance casting topwater built for both inshore and offshore scenarios. The standout feature is Yo-Zuri’s patented Weight Transfer System an internal magnet bullet that slides to the rear during the cast for extra distance, then resets to center in the water for balance and quick, responsive popping action. Heavy-duty through-wire construction means a 30-inch bass won’t rip the hardware out, and 3X-strength treble hooks come ready to fish out of the package. Three sizes (4″, 5-1/4″, 6-1/4″) cover schoolie stripers all the way up to inshore tuna and big bluefish. Nine color options.

Why We Like It

Yo-Zuri’s magnet weight transfer system actually works the lures cast a noticeably greater distance than poppers without it, which matters when fish are busting bait 70 yards out. The through-wire construction is what separates this from cheaper poppers; 3X hooks won’t bend out on 30+ lb stripers. At $15-$18 per lure with this build quality and casting distance, the Mag Popper earns its place in any serious surfcaster’s bag. Bone in the 5-1/4″ size is the everyday Northeast pick.
