Information

The swimming action

The larger 73mm sibling of the Hibuta popper line, sharing the same face-cup design built to throw a strong popping sound and bubble spread on the pop.

When to throw it

Part of HAL's chinu-focused Hibuta topwater range, suited to calm, shallow water where a loud surface commotion is needed to pull fish up from a distance.

How to work it

Work it with sharp pops and pauses, letting the bubble trail and splash sit before the next pop draws a strike.

The setup it likes

Suits a 7'-7'6" L-ML chinu/topwater spinning rod with a 2000-2500 reel, 6-10lb braid and a 12-16lb fluorocarbon leader.

Before you buy

Straight answers

How is it priced?

We aim to beat your local price. We ship direct from Japan, cutting out the overseas middleman, and shipping is shown at checkout before you pay.

When does my order leave Japan?

Orders are packed in Japan and leave within 3–8 business days, tracked. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.

How long does delivery take?

Your order leaves Japan in 3–8 business days, tracked. Checkout shows the delivery options for your country, with their price and delivery estimate, before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

US import duty is shown as its own line at checkout, before you pay. Your parcel then travels duty-paid, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.

Is it genuine stock?

Yes. Every item is genuine Japanese-market stock, sourced in Japan from an established Japanese wholesaler and shipped straight to you. Never marketplace resellers.
