Product Details and Uses

Sakura Oppop – 45mm 3.8g

The Micro-Surface Dynamite – Ultra-Finesse Topwater Action

The Sakura Oppop 45mm is the smallest member of the Oppop family, specifically designed for “Ultra-Light” (UL) and “finesse” surface tactics. Weighing in at only 3.8g, this micro-popper is a precision tool for targeting fish that are feeding on tiny insects, fry, or “micro-forage.” Despite its diminutive size, it retains the same heavy-duty construction as its larger siblings, featuring a reinforced ABS body and high-quality internal hardware.

This model is a favorite for anglers who enjoy the visual thrill of surface strikes from Perch, Trout, Chub, and even “coarse” species like Rudd. It produces a delicate, high-pitched “pop” and a subtle bubble trail that mimics a small insect or a struggling minnow on the surface film.

Technical Highlights

Micro-Acoustics: The internal stainless steel balls in this 45mm version are specifically tuned to create a high-frequency click. In clear water or quiet streams, this subtle sound is often more effective than the loud “thud” of larger lures.
Exceptional Stability: Small poppers can sometimes tumble during the cast or “skate” across the surface if worked too hard. The Oppop 45mm is perfectly balanced to sit correctly in the surface tension, ensuring a clean pop every time.
Krystal Flash “Life”: The dressed rear hook is vital for a lure of this size. On the pause, the fibers fan out, giving the lure a larger, more “organic” appearance that triggers wary fish to commit.
Ultra-Resistant Build: While it’s a micro-lure, it isn’t fragile. The reinforced ABS shell can handle being bounced off rocks or bridge pilings—a common occurrence when chasing Chub in tight urban environments.

Where & How to Use It

Small Stream Trout & Chub: This is a deadly lure for “stalking.” Cast it under overhanging branches or into the “slack” water behind boulders. A few gentle pops followed by a long pause is usually all it takes to trigger a strike.
Canal Perch: When Perch are feeding on “pin-head” fry in the summer, larger lures will often be ignored. The 45mm Oppop “matches the hatch” perfectly.
The “Insect” Mimic: During a fly hatch, you can work this popper very slowly to mimic a large beetle or moth struggling on the surface.
Light Rock Fishing (LRF): A fantastic option for saltwater enthusiasts targeting species like small Sea Bass, Mackerel, or even Garfish in the top centimeter of the water column.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“Because this lure only weighs 3.8g, you must use the right gear to enjoy it. I recommend a 6ft Light (L) or Ultra-Light (UL) Sakura Ryokan rod and a very thin braid (around 0.06mm). If you use a heavy snap or a thick wire trace, you will kill the action of this little gem. Use a tiny Size 00 Nice Snap or tie a Rapala loop knot directly to a 4lb fluorocarbon leader for the ultimate stealth presentation
