Meet the CFP135 Popper: Compact, Sound-Driven Surface Action

The TackleHouse CFP135 Popper is a purpose-built floating lure designed to deliver confident surface pops without a bulky profile. At 5.3 inches (135 mm) and weighing 1.6 oz (45 g), this lure pairs a streamlined body with buoyant performance to help you cover water efficiently during a retrieve. Its colorway, Tuna #13, provides a distinct profile that stands out in varied light conditions, making it a versatile option for multiple fishing scenarios.

The lure’s standout feature is its sound-focused cup and lip geometry. A deliberate, resonant pop accompanies even a light jerk, helping you create a convincing surface disturbance that can attract nearby game fish. The result is a lure that feels responsive and reactive in your hand, enabling precise pops and rhythm as you search for feeding fish along the water’s edge.

Floating Design, Distance and Control

The CFP135 combines a compact build with a higher specific gravity, which translates to noteworthy casting distance and stability at the surface. This design makes it easier to place the lure where you want it, whether you’re fishing from shorelines or offshore structure. The almost upright floating position when at rest helps you concentrate on your target zone, allowing you to time your pops and pauses with greater confidence.

• Floating type for surface strikes and visibility during retrieves.
• Compact 5.3" (135 mm) body paired with 1.6 oz (45 g) weight for solid distance casting.
• Tuna #13 color offers strong surface presence across light conditions.

Targets, Environments and Use Scenarios

Designed to appeal to a wide range of shore and offshore targets, the CFP135 is suitable for species that respond to surface lures. Its generous surface area and buoyant setup support a pronounced pop even with a light retrieve, making it a practical choice for anglers who want to experiment with timing and cadence. Depending on the day, you may find success presenting the lure near structure, over flats, or near bait schools where surface activity is visible.

• Main compatible fish species: Shira, Katsuo, Tuna, Blues, Lily
• Wide target range: shore and offshore zones with surface activity
• Realistic, resonant pops to entice surface feeders

In practice, you can start with a light jerking cadence and adapt to the fish’s response. The CFP135 rewards attentive hands and a patient approach, offering possibilities rather than guarantees. Use it to explore a variety of water depths and tempo, and you may discover a rhythm that matches the mood of the day.
