The Rudie's Meba Popper is a topwater lure originally designed for Mebaru (Japanese rockfish) but has proven to be a versatile and highly effective option for a variety of other species, including Perch, Chub, Trout, and  saltwater fish. Its innovative design and unique action make it a must-have for anglers looking to elevate their fishing game across freshwater and coastal environments.
This compact lure is equipped with a specially shaped cup that produces enticing pops and splashes with minimal effort, mimicking the natural movements of prey on the water's surface. By simply lowering your rod tip and reeling in half to one full turn, the Meba Popper generates a perfect popping action, creating a commotion that draws fish from below. Its ease of use makes it an excellent choice for both seasoned anglers and beginners alike.
The Rudie's Meba Popper is designed with visibility and performance in mind. The glow-in-the-dark cup and tinsel tail make it highly effective during low-light conditions such as dawn, dusk, or night fishing. Its realistic profile is further enhanced by stealthy red hooks, blending seamlessly with the lure and minimising visual cues that might deter cautious fish. Whether you’re casting in freshwater for perch and chub or exploring saltwater flats for inshore predators, this lure delivers consistent results.
Compact, versatile, and effective, the Rudie’s Meba Popper is not just a lure for Mebaru fishing but a multi-species tool that performs exceptionally well in diverse conditions. Add it to your tackle box and experience the perfect combination of simplicity and effectiveness.
