Madd Mantis Duck – Blurple

The Madd Mantis Duck looks like a popper, but is a uniquely designed surface swimmer. The duck sinks, but when retrieved the face brings the lure up to the surface. While the face is cupped and it can be worked as a popper, it really shines when retrieved slowly, as it then acts like a long casting metal lip lure. This is an ideal lure for striped bass, bluefish, and any other species that will take a lure off the surface.
