The Shimano POP-Orca Skipjack (190) is an advanced saltwater popper engineered with the unique Bubble Chamber system, a hydrodynamic design inspired by jet-engine pressure mechanics. Water is forced through the chamber and expelled upward, creating explosive surface disturbance and a bubble trail that attracts aggressive pelagic predators such as tuna. Unlike traditional poppers, the POP-ORCA swims just beneath the surface during the retrieve, producing a tight wobble and trail that triggers instinctive reaction strikes. Through-wire construction and heavy-duty offshore hooks deliver the strength needed to battle powerful fish. Easy to work, long-casting, and highly durable, the POP-ORCA is built for serious offshore topwater action.
