Smaller chuggers that punch above their weight
Peter Childs:
Cubera 125 is mainstream size for me these days! Maybe I'm a bit of a whoos!
Talking small chuggers though, I reckon the Tuna 100 and skipjack 120 (both from Heru / Nomad / Blackjack stable) are a great option.
Both have quite small cups, but manage to move an impressive amount of water for their size, and they stick to the water like a wet blanket in 'most' conditions. They have the added benefit of casting like bullets on PE6 - 8 outfits. The skipjack is the real surprise, designed more as a skipping lure, it actually chugs really well in the 120 size.
Now for a cup of tea and a lie down!
Brandon Khoo:
I'd add the Fullscale Long Kong to the list but there aren't that many poppers in this category in the market

From your comments, Ebipop Extreme and the dual hook Seafrog 120 are the ones you would put in this category? Any others?

Mark Harris:
Thanks Brandon.
It also seems that Skagit Designs have stopped making larger lures? I still see their small stickbaits and minnows around the stores, but the superb larger Pump Kings seem to be no more :( .

Hammerhead E-Cup! Light, easy to cast and can still tolerate slighty dirty conditions (depending on retrieve style)....
For shallow water attention, whilst still wanting a large callling splash - this is certainly in the top 3 for me....
Another vote also for CraftBait GT2 & GT3 150g.
Luke Wyrsta:
Fisherman HP 130 - 150 are also worth considering. Although the durability is not as high as some other offerings.
