About this piece
The Imakatsu Dilemma Popper is a competition-spec ultra-compact pencil popper that combines the tantalizing body shape of the Dilemma series with a topwater popper action. Originally a one-off tuning model used in secret by tournament anglers, it delivers exceptional casting distance thanks to a rear-mounted tungsten weight system, allowing it to fly pleasantly toward the target despite its tiny size.
