About this piece
The Rudie's Mebapopper Z is a compact floating popper designed specifically for targeting mebaru (rockfish). By simply lowering the rod tip and reeling half to one full turn, it produces a distinct "pop" sound and splash that appeals to nearby fish, then you wait for the strike. It comes equipped with a glow cup, stealthy red hook, and glow tinsel at the bite point to enhance attraction in low-light conditions.
