Pencil Poppers with Flat bottom/canal special style on the beach?
Would canal special stylized pencil poppers work on the beaches while surf fishing? Just wondering that if anyone here has caught anything on it before or share some inputs.

They work fine, depending on the maker they way be weighted a bit heavy so you have to work them a bit quicker but they do work.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I used left hooks pilgrims on the beach. You just have to work them a little faster without moving water.

Alright, I couldn't catch them last time, but after reading your answers, I will work them faster.

Yup,
Personal best from Cutty this year, on a flat bottomed pencil.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

I totally agree that they work, but I have quite a few that sink faster than I would like without current keeping it up. Although going faster keeps it up, I still find its a little too fast.
So as long as you know your plugs, don't go out and buy something special for the beach.

Thanks Matty! Alright Joe. Here is how I work them off the beach in little to no current. Cast out like you want to hit Europe. Work the end of the cast (before it hits the water, you want the line tight). Upon touchdown, a few quick jerks as soon as it hits the water to impart action. Then pause, and slow it way down to a steady jerk off retrieve, with a few pauses every 5 or so jerks to get em off. A guy named Dave Manzi (AKA BassMasster) taught me all about this and more on the beaches of PTown about 12 years ago. I'll never forget that guy. Ever! All jokes aside, that's how you do it.

I was strictly using rubbers and tossing clams before that for years.  |

Ditto. I have been a bit of lazy to buy new regular plugs and want to see if I can use what I have currently to land a bass on the beach or not. Thanks, Mikey!!
