September Saltwater Lure of the Month: McKala Cap'n Andy Poppa

September Saltwater Lure of the Month: McKala Cap'n Andy Poppa

The McKala Fishing and tackle company was founded in 1994 in Beacon Falls, Connecticut.  With plenty of experience on the Eastern seaboard, the McKala fishing team has perfected a full line of wooden plugs of all shapes and sizes, built specifically for avid saltwater fishermen.  These lures include fun names like the Poppa, Lil Momma, Killa Gorilla, and this month's selction, the McKala Cap'n Andy Poppa, named for it's creator.  All of the McKala products have been thoroughly and extensively tested by some of the top fishermen on the East Coast, as well as charter Captains throughout the country.   

The Cap'n Andy Poppa is one McKala's finest creations.  The wooden plug comes in white, blue, yellow, and flueorescent orange, and range in size from 1 1/4 oz to 2 3/4 oz.  I recommend trying out all of the different shapes and sizes to find the best fit that provides the most fishing success for you! 

Some tips on how to fish:

1. Cast is out, then let it sit for a litte bit.
2. Jerk your rod tip to pop it up, and then let it set again... then pop again.
3. Cast it and retrieve it slowly, giving it a pop every few feet.  
4. Cast it out and retrieve it rapidly, jerking the rod tip during the retrieve.
5. Experiment to find out how it works best for you each time you fishing.
