Testing with advance technology and inventing modern aerodynamic features in lure making is important as it gives excellent results to land one of the toughest predators in the ocean. Shimano POP-ORCA Slim Lures is the newest popper edition to Shimano’s ORCA offshore lure. There is a special feature in the lure – the chamber. Technology has been used to maximize the commotion and to entice strikes. This is one of the greatest lures I have ever seen.
The special diving action and the erratic swimming action make this lure one of the most appropriate poppers to target pelagic fish. These lures give a good casting distance due to the Shimano’s Propulsion Weight Transfer System in the lure and its aerodynamic profile. This lure is easy to maneuver than other conventional lures.
This open-mouth design popper can present three variations. If you retrieve it at a faster speed, water flows through the chambers during the commotion of swimming action. You can create a diving effect with large splash from front chamber by exerting short jerks on the popping rod. If you want to create large bubble trial from the back chamber, then maneuver with long rod jerks.
Interesting technology embedded
The chamber (open-mouth design) is based on jet engine – it’s how the engine turns low pressure into high pressure.
