A lure I found to be great for pencil popping is the Rapala X-Rap Walk.

I originally thought it was just for walking-the-dog until I tried pencil popping with it and found it can do plenty of dancing, chugging, spitting, and splashing on the surface that way. I got into topwater stripers at Short beach by doing that with an XRW-9 back in November.

I'd recommend this lure to surfcasters who are into pencil popping. Plus, it casts like a bullet, esp with braid.

Thanks, I'm gonna give surf-casting a shot while on vacation on Nantucket next week and will try to pick one of these up before I go.
