Tackle House Feed Popper 150 Clear IWASHI – Surface Lure for Bonito, Tuna & Amberjack

Overview

IWASHI means sardine in Japanese, and this lure from Tackle House centers on surface action designed to prompt a reaction from offshore predators. The Feed Popper 150 Clear IWASHI uses a wide cup to push water into a dramatic splash with each pop, helping the lure read as a tempting, close-to-sight target even from some distance. This approach suits anglers who want to provoke commotion on the surface rather than settle into a deeper subsurface retrieve.

Design and key specs

• Length: 150mm (5.9 in)
• Weight: 60g (2.1 oz)
• Depth: Surface
• Hook: ST66 #2/0
• Ring: H#8

The lure’s surface-running design and sturdy hardware strike a balance between action and durability. The wide cup is the defining feature, directing the water flow to create a visible arc and a sharp surface disturbance that can help attract attention as you fish offshore drops, reefs, or weed edges.

Ideal targets and fishing scenarios

• Bonito, Black Fin Tuna, Tuna, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Cubera and other offshore species
• Boat casting or trolling around structure, ledges, or open-water patrol zones

In clear or choppy water, the surface splash paired with the lure’s profile can be visible at a distance, offering a potential cue for biting fish. Real-world results depend on technique, water conditions, and the fish’s mood—consider this lure as a possibility within a broader trolling or casting strategy rather than a guaranteed outcome.

How to fish the Feed Popper 150

• Cast toward likely fish-holding zones and use a mixed retrieve: quick pops followed by short pauses to let the splash register.
• Adjust retrieve speed to water clarity and current; longer pauses can help in clear water, while quicker sequences may suit murkier conditions.
• Keep the rod tip high enough to maintain surface action and to emphasize the pop’s arc and splash.

Maintenance tip: rinse after saltwater use, inspect the hook and ring, and dry before storage to preserve performance over time. The Feed Popper 150 Clear IWASHI offers a proven surface option for anglers seeking a visual and audible lure cue, without guaranteeing a strike—only the right conditions and technique can help you realize its potential.
