P-Nut Bunker
Compact, loud, and deadly, the Al Gag’s P-Nut Bunker is a throwback with bite. Measuring 4 inches and weighing just over an ounce, this plug packs the perfect profile for imitating peanut bunker, juvenile herring, or any panicked baitfish under pressure. Designed to fish shallow, the P-Nut is a prime choice for working estuaries, flats, and surf zones where predators are ambushing bait tight to structure or shoreline.
The key to this lure is its sound and vibration. It’s equipped with a double-rattle chamber that emits a deep, rhythmic knock as it swims. Whether cast into a back bay creek mouth or swept through white water at dawn, the P-Nut puts out enough underwater commotion to call in stripers, bluefish, weakfish, or albies from distance. Its tight wiggle and steady sink rate make it versatile – work it with a steady retrieve, or mix in rod twitches for a darting, erratic action.
Made with durable construction and fitted with quality hardware, the P-Nut Bunker stands up to heavy use in saltwater environments. Its streamlined shape casts well, even into wind, and the selection of color patterns lets you match local forage or low-light conditions.
For surfcasters, kayak anglers, or light-tackle enthusiasts, this lure is a sleeper for when fish are on smaller bait but still feeding aggressively. Revived from Al Gag’s vault of vintage fish catchers, the P-Nut Bunker is more than a nostalgic nod – it’s a modern-day fish slayer with an old-school attitude. Whether you’re probing early spring backwaters or chasing fall-run blitzes, this little lure deserves a permanent home in your plug bag.
Heirloom Popper
Big splash, bold sound, and built to cast a mile – the Heirloom Popper from Al Gag’s Throwback Series is a topwater classic reborn. At just under 4 inches and around 5/8 ounces, this scaled-down popper is sized perfectly for targeting aggressive fish without spooking them. Don’t let the size fool you – this little plug can move a lot of water and trigger explosive strikes from bass and blues.
What sets this popper apart is the combination of weight-forward design and balanced cup face. It throws easily on inshore spinning setups and delivers that signature “bloop” on the surface that drives fish nuts. Inside, a rattle system amplifies each pop with a deep, echoing knock, giving the lure both visual and auditory appeal. From first light to sunset, it shines in skinny water, boulder fields, or working bait balls in open bays.
Its versatility is another selling point. Slow-pop it with pauses for picky stripers or speed-retrieve it across nervous schools of bait to trigger reaction strikes. The Heirloom Popper is right at home whether you’re wading the surf, casting from a jetty, or fishing tight to docks in the back bays.
Finished in a variety of forage-matching colors – from bright bunker patterns to subtle naturals, the Heirloom gives you the option to adapt to both light conditions and bait profiles. Outfitted with corrosion-resistant hooks and rugged hardware, it’s built to hold up to the salt and the strikes.
For anglers looking to relive the glory days of plug fishing – or just want a reliable surface lure that gets results – the Heirloom Popper is a sharp, compact weapon. It’s a call back to simpler times, with the power to earn a modern-day spot in your tackle rotation.
