TAYLOR MADE PANICKING POPEYE
The Panicking Popeye is a powerhouse lure, perfectly suited for targeting run-off barramundi in northern estuaries, especially after heavy rain. Barramundi are known to position themselves in the flowing waters of run-off, where they ambush prey that gets swept out into the main channels. This is where the Panicking Popeye shines. Its design and build make it an ideal choice for fishing in these conditions, particularly in the often murky waters where visibility is low.
Equipped with strong VMC trebles and counter-balancing fizzers, the Panicking Popeye creates a highly effective commotion, drawing fish in and increasing your chances of a strike. Its fizzer action is perfect for creating disturbance in the water, making it an excellent option when fishing for wary fish in the run-off. Beyond barramundi, this lure is also a top contender for catching elusive species like the Gold Coast mangrove jack, making it a versatile addition to your tackle box.
