Introducing the Malus – the first pencil popper to join the West Coast Poppers lineup, and it’s come out swinging.
At 230mm and 120g, this lure is all about controlled aggression. It responds just as well to a calm sweep as it does to a high-speed burn, tracking true whether you’re working it tip-up, tip-down, popped, or swept. It's clean through the air, responsive in the water, and brings serious presence to the surface.
The Malus is tuned for punchy action and deliberate control — ideal for reef edges, open water pressure points, or any situation where a pencil profile gets the bite. It swims confidently on a range of retrieves and holds beautifully in the strike zone.
Crafted from solid timber with full stainless through-wire, detailed artwork, and a multi-layer epoxy finish built to last.
Recommended Rigging:
- Shout Curve Point Treble 31 - 7/0 *tail or belly
- Shout Ringed Kudako - 8/0 *belly
- Suteki Crafter's Single Assist - 5/0 *belly
- Gamakatsu GT Recorder - 7/0 *tail or belly
