Pic looks good but OUCH a 24 dollar super spook? What happened? Are 17 dollar LuckyCrafts now a bargain?

That's a $24 pencil popper.

They call it a walking bait. I guess if you get a spook and a pencil out of the deal that's only 12 a piece.

A Pencil Popper IS a walking bait.... so yer back to $24

but it sure looks sexy... and I've destroyed a lot of PP's over the years so if this thing is built striper proof

BDBR.... It does have a through wire construction, lotsa rattles and spits like a llama! I think it will stand the test of some toad stripes.

they do have nicer finishes than the Cotton Cordell's, however, you can buy 4 pencil poppers for the price of one IMA. They cost $5.24 if you order them direct, http://www.cottoncordelllures.com/detai ... ncilPopper Change the hooks and o-rings out to Owners and you may have a bait that cost $8.00. IMA's not worth it to me. But I am sure they will sell to all these rich guys who think they have to have the very best of everything.

I have not thrown one yet. But I saw them for the first time today and they are high quality. awesome finishes, Big 4x super sharp hooks, thick split rings and they deffinatley have more rattles and make more noise than any topwater bait that I have ever heard.

Oh Contraire my friend, This bait is SO much different that the Pencil Pop a standard for me for about as long as I can remember..... IMA offers, 7 chambers, 3 or 4 times louder, way better finishes, wire construction through the bait.... Chem sharpned hooks, great split rings....Really well thought out...And Yes Striper Proof so far (no 50's Yet)
