Description

CATAPY II (catfish/namazu-dedicated plug) is Smith's original noisy topwater plug for catfish (namazu, namazu) games, updated from 2024 with a glow-stick socket added to the head as well as the eye. On a straight retrieve, its metal lip (cup) produces a distinctive damp "kopo, kopo" popping sound, while the body kicks hard side to side to push water and call fish after dark.

It carries a double-hook setup for snag resistance (barbs recommended to be flattened for catfish games). Length 68mm, weight 16.7g, floating, non-rattle type, double hook #1. Glow sticks (Φ2.9mm chemical light) can be inserted at the eye or the head socket (not both at once) for night visibility. Released June 2024.

Information

The swimming action

On a straight retrieve the metal lip on the CATAPY II's nose produces a damp, popping 'kopo, kopo' sound while the body kicks hard from side to side, pushing water to call fish after dark.

When to throw it

A night-fishing staple for catfish, worked over calm, quiet water where the popping sound and surface disturbance carry and draw fish up from a distance.

How to work it

A steady, unhurried retrieve keeps the popping rhythm consistent; glow sticks can be fitted at the eye or head socket, not both together, for extra visibility after dark.

The setup it likes

Fish it on a stout baitcasting rod for heavy topwater work, a 100-150 size low-profile baitcaster, 16-20 lb braid and a short abrasion-resistant leader.
