Pop, Flash, and Strike
Surface commotion sells this lure. The cupped face grabs water on every wave cycle, creating a rhythmic pop-and-splash that fish detect from a distance. The crystal clear resin head with mirror insert reflects light like a prism, adding flash to every pop.
This is a short-rigger or flat-line lure where the popping action is most visible and audible. Fish see the splash, investigate, and eat the double-skirted presentation trailing behind. The mirror insert adds a visual element that solid-color heads cannot match.

Cupped Resin Head
The concave face catches water and creates a loud popping action on the surface. Crystal clear resin with a mirror insert reflects light at every angle, adding a visual trigger to the audible commotion.
Double Skirts
Two layers of vibrant skirts provide a larger profile and more flash than single-skirted lures. The outer skirt adds color while the inner skirt protects hooks and adds secondary movement.
Multi-Species Effectiveness
The surface popping action attracts mahi, tuna, sailfish, and wahoo. Position it where the wake meets clean water for maximum visibility to cruising fish.
How to Troll the Epic Cup Head 8

3. Troll at 5-8 knots and watch for the popping action
4. The cupped face should be digging water and splashing consistently
5. Mix with Flat Head lures for surface and sub-surface coverage
