Pencil poppers

Sachin Chaudhry:
Agree with Luke. I don't think that you need it for dead calm days either. In areas where you have to cast in a break they outfish other lures because as you pull them out of the was they look more natural and the GTs wolf them down without a thought. I use pencils for most of my fishing and I have personally seen a 50kg+ GT and several over 40kg taken on pencils. Find the fish and most things will do the trick.

Andrew Poulos:
I think it comes down to the pencil poppers you are using too though. Skipping poppers/plugs work better for me at a speed that generates a bubble trail and doesnt matter if its a bit bumpy on the water. I have some saltiga pencils and they suck in anything other than calm water in comparison I reckon.
I have some other poppers like amanos, and ones similar to longpens but havent tossed them around much yet. Not sure if you classify those as pencil poppers.

Chris Young:
I call long pens, pencils, this is the size /shape I was refering to, rear weighted and rear boyant, its because of both of those attributes that make them so versitile....long cast ,able to retreave fast or walk the dog, slap slop, they can even get a small buble trail going if worked accordingly.
