The Deps Brachiostick Topwater Bait, also known as the "remote controlled pencil popper," is a high-performance topwater lure engineered with an extreme rear center of gravity and long body design. This innovative construction allows for incredibly long casts that can reach boils or schooling fish off in the distance without spooking them-especially important in clear water situations where stealth is critical. The unique body design features a rear center of gravity combined with a buoyant tail, creating a diagonal floating position that walks with ease thanks to the small spring weight. The variable balancer system produces a unique sound and sharp side-to-side movement that triggers explosive strikes. The downward-facing oval-shaped cup at the front shoots bubbles on the surface, imitating a small fish splashing on top while delivering better action when twitching or walking the dog. Equipped with a 3-hook system featuring three sharp #3 hooks, the Brachiostick ensures superior hookup ratios. The slanted horizontal line eyes limit the range of motion to prevent hook tangling, allowing you to fish confidently without constant adjustments. This is a high-performance pencil popper that will leave you shaking your head after seeing how well it works and how far it casts.
