{"product_id":"the-kraken-200-coming-soon","title":"THE KRAKEN 200 - COMING SOON","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWhen giant stripers are keyed in on massive, panicked baitfish—like adult menhaden, river herring, or large mackerel—a standard topwater plug gets lost in the foam. You need a lure that commands attention, casts to the horizon, and stays upright in the nastiest coastal white water. Enter The Kraken 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eMeasuring a massive 8 inches (\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\" data-math=\"200\\text{ mm}\" data-index-in-node=\"30\"\u003e$200\\text{ mm}$\u003c\/span\u003e) and weighted heavily in the tail, this XL pencil popper is engineered specifically for surfcasters who hunt trophy fish in big water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWe didn't just scale up a basic popper shape; we re-engineered topwater surface stability using our proprietary Syntho-Core™ carbon fiber chassis. Unlike round-bodied wooden pencils that roll sideways and lose traction in fast current, our flat-bottom profile forces the plug to hydroplane. This specialized flat belly keeps the hooks tracking perfectly downward and allows for a violent, aggressive side-to-side head thrash even in heavy current rips and breaking rollers. The interior concentrates mass into the rear so it flies straight as an arrow through heavy headwinds, while a continuous, heavy-gauge stainless steel through-wire is structurally locked directly into the frame to handle the crushing pressure of a lifetime fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eLength: 8 inches (\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\" data-math=\"200\\text{ mm}\" data-index-in-node=\"18\"\u003e200mm\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eWeight: 3.0 oz (\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\" data-math=\"85\\text{ g}\" data-index-in-node=\"16\"\u003e85g\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eAction: Floating \/ Aggressive Topwater Spitting \u0026amp; Walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\"\u003eTarget Environment: Heavy surf, Cape Cod Canal-style current rips, and rocky breachways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14,4,0\"\u003eHardware: Pre-rigged with 4x-strong saltwater treble hooks and heavy-duty split rings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kraken 200 prototype is currently being thrashed in the New England surf by our field testers to fine-tune the nose-cup splash and tail-weight balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NORTHWIND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53855528943982,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.northwindgear.com\/products\/the-kraken-200-coming-soon","provider":"NORTHWIND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
