Lots of good-working kingfish lures from Maria as you may already know – Loaded, Rapido, Rerize, Fla-Pen… and Now Maria is releasing new Kingfish casting choice, long popper Duck Dive F230.
Here I introduce you this interesting kingfish lure called “Slim popper”.
What and how Duck Dive – Slim Popper is
Duck Dive F230 is especially designed for Kingfish fishing from rock shore.
* Please turn on auto translate function as video is all in Japanese.
Basic lure used for Kingfish game fishing is floating pencil / diving minnow, but if the bites are a bit short then the action could be too wide or too speedy.
Now this Duck Dive has its slim body comparing to other existing poppers, this won’t really wobble when it dives under the water. Instead, wears lots of bubbles from the front cup with rolling action but don’t move too fast because of popping pressure.
Therefore it can stay longer in the biting point than other lures but moves more naturally.
Also, you’ll see floating pencil / minnow stays diagonally at surface when you stop reeling, but this popper stays parallel so it’s easier for fish to bite.
If you have some bites but still miss hook, this Duck Dive might be better choice.
Well long castability with magnet gravity shifting system
This is becoming defact standard for casting lures – gravity shifting system, and of course, featured to Duck Dive too.
This is also functioned by strong magnet, that can holds sinker to the right position anytime needed.
