Hello!

[#ff0000]Cheers and welcome to the neighborhood! I would pay good money to see someone try to cast pop gear from the shore! It is not my first choice either although I pack around a lot of it. When you know they are there but having a tough time talking them into giving up I will give it a try. Pop gear or "cow bells" as we say here in Utah are a series of spinner blades with anywhere from 3 to a dozen blades usually starting with bigger blades first then getting smaller towards the end where a length of leader is attached. The leader can be anywhere from inches to yards long followed by your lure. You can have multiple lures in line also but I think the most number of hooks per line in Utah is two. They are like any other spinner blade. The fatter and rounder they are the faster they spin at slower speeds and create more drag. Sometimes for that reason you limit your lure selection. The longer thinner blades you can troll faster with less drag and less resistance bringing in a fish (my preferance). You can also get them with blades as big as your hand or as small as a string of mepps. Some folks will just trail a nightcrawler behind a string with success. They might resemble a string of fish with the little vulnerable one struggling behind to catch up to invoke a strike, or just to get those plankton eating Kokanee's with the bad tempers really excited by the time your lure goes by. The real challenge is getting all of that hardware out of your stupid net when you get a nice thrashing fish to the boat! I have used them at Fish Lake but never out of necessity. It's just another way to relax and enjoy. [/#ff0000]
