Why does the BassDrum 185F have such a slim profile?

So it casts far and easily while producing the deep sound of a big popper. It is the side cavities, not the volume, that generate the punchy 'pop'.

Which species is the BassDrum 185F for?

For tuna (yellowfin) and big surface pelagics, in hunting situations as well as when prospecting with frequent casts.

How do I work the BassDrum 185F?

With popping, sharp sweeps that burst the cavity and throw water and bubbles. Vary the cadence with the activity of the fish.

Product description

Why we added the BassDrum 185F to our range

The BassDrum 185F solves a contradiction that many poppers fail to handle: keeping a slim silhouette, so it is easy to cast far, while putting out the deep, powerful sound of a big popper. Shin Yamada achieved this by working on side cavities, and the result speaks for itself on tuna. If you are looking for a long-distance popper that really cracks, it is worth a look.

A slim popper with a bass-drum sound

A slim silhouette that cracks like a big popper

Most poppers that can produce a deep, powerful sound owe it to a bulky body that is harder to propel. The BassDrum 185F takes the opposite route: it keeps a slim, more aerodynamic profile for casting, and finds the punchy sound of a big popper through worked side cavities. By mastering the relationship between water movement and the sound produced, Shin Yamada obtained a deep "pop" that carries underwater and draws predators from far off. It is this combination of casting distance and sound signature that sets this floating popper apart from more classic models.

For tuna and surface pelagics

The BassDrum 185F is worked with popping, sharp sweeps that burst the cavity and throw water and bubbles. Built to allow many casts without fatigue thanks to its slim profile, it reaches the feeding zone quickly and far, a real plus when tuna break the surface in bursts.
