I use Pencils at night as a surface swimmer. They have a very sexy wiggle on the surface and they make a very nice V-wake. Sometimes I give the popper a little twitch, most of the time I retrieve at a moderate speed, just enough to keep it on the surface. They are great when there is a good breeze in your face when other plugs stall when casted.

I never thought of a popper as a googan plug, they work for me night and day. Maybe I am still a googan.

	1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN. I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock. 2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.
