Tackle House Feed Popper: Every Size From 70 mm to 175 mm Explained

minagiman

As the water warms from spring into early summer, fish move up towards the surface – and that is when poppers start to earn their place. Tackle House’s Contact Feed Popper is one of the classic Japanese poppers, and one of the few that comes in a size for almost every job: from a 70 mm light-game model up to a 175 mm offshore tuna popper.

This is the whole range explained, so you can pick the right size.

The six sizes

Model	Length / weight	Built for
CFP70	70 mm / 9.5 g	Light game – black bream (kurodai) and harbour seabass
CFP100	100 mm / 22 g	Small-bait patterns offshore; shore pelagics; heavy-duty hooks
CFP120	120 mm / 30 g	The original – the standard seabass size, also used for shore pelagics
CFP135	135 mm / 45 g	The all-rounder – seabass tackle to tuna tackle, shore or boat
CFP150	150 mm / 60 g	Offshore and big shore pelagics; with or without hooks
CFP175	175 mm / 74 g	The biggest – casting at boiling tuna and large pelagics offshore

CFP70 – light game

A scaled-down version of the bigger models for black bream and harbour seabass. Even a light jerk produces a proper “pop”.

CFP100 – small but tough

Compact, with heavy-wire hooks. It works offshore when the bait is small, and handles shore pelagics and even light game.

CFP120 – where it started

The first Feed Popper. The standard seabass size, and popular with shore anglers chasing pelagics.

CFP135 – the all-rounder

Usable on anything from seabass tackle to tuna tackle. A fixed rear weight gives excellent distance, and it makes a strong commotion from the moment it lands.

CFP150 and CFP175 – the big ones

Both carry Tackle House’s R-Unit, which gives a natural, irregular sway that does not simply follow the waves – so the popper keeps working even when you pause it. The 150 is sold with or without hooks; the 175 is the long-distance tool for breaking fish offshore.

How it fished

Easy to use. If you are not used to poppers it is easy to lose confidence in what action is right. The Feed Popper is stable on the cast and on a simple retrieve, so it works for anyone.
Low sound, big bubbles. Rather than a fine spray, its action is a deeper “bloop” with a big bubble trail. That suits active, aggressive fish best.
Distance. The rear-weighted design throws a long way on a calm day.

How to fish it

Straight retrieve – it will push water and leave a bubble trail on its own.
Short jerks to pop, with a pause between each one.
With the bigger sizes, pause longer and let the R-Unit sway do the work.

Colours

There are plenty, but three types cover nearly everything: a standard natural, a clear for calm, clear water, and a chartreuse for low light or coloured water.

Which one to buy first

Seabass from shore: CFP120.
Seabass and pelagics with one lure: CFP135.
Black bream or harbour fish on light tackle: CFP70.
Offshore tuna and big pelagics: CFP150 or CFP175.

Verdict

The Feed Popper earns its reputation by being simple: stable, long-casting, and loud in the right way. With six sizes, there is a Feed Popper for most surface fishing you will do in Japan – start with the 120 or 135, and add others as you need them.
