DUO Tetra Works Pocopoco 40F – floating micro popper 40 mm 3 g

DUO Tetra Works Pocopoco 40F is a hollow-body micro popper from the Japanese manufacturer’s saltwater Tetra Works range. The series was developed for light game fishing in harbours, estuaries, around piers and along rocky shorelines. The floating 40F version is designed for slow, deliberate surface presentations. In freshwater it is an exciting and effective option for chub, perch, ide and asp when predators feed on baitfish or insects at the surface.
Key features. The hollow 40 mm body stays on the surface, while the fixed-weight system maintains stable balance. Its cupped popper face grips the water with each twitch, producing a splash and distinct sound. By changing rod movement strength, the angler can create anything from a subtle surface disturbance to a stronger pop. Two size #12 treble hooks suit the lure’s compact profile.
Action and application. Fish Pocopoco 40F with short rhythmic twitches separated by pauses. A slow pop-and-stop retrieve keeps the lure in a productive zone for longer, while lighter and more frequent twitches create a short side-to-side walk. It is especially useful over shallow water and vegetation, near banks, along current seams and wherever baitfish activity is visible at the surface. Every strike happens in full view, making this micro popper exceptionally exciting to fish.
Why choose it:
• compact 40 mm, 3 g floating micro popper;
• cupped face splashes water and produces sound;
• supports slow pop-and-stop and side-to-side presentations;
• effective when fish are feeding directly at the surface;
• developed for saltwater light game and highly useful for freshwater chub and perch.
