Gotta have both, but if I had to choose only 1 it would be the pencil, due to its versatility. You can work it frantically on top, walk-it side to side, slowly snake it through the water. It's also very aerodynamic to cut the wind..

Stan Gibbs developed the Pencil Popper and the Polaris for the canal. Both cast very well but the Pencil was for moving water and the Polaris was designed for use at almost slack, slack water and as it stareted to creep east. A retinue that still works as designed.

Why even try.........

Polaris

Can't fish without at least two in my bag a yellow and a white . Best fish a double header 2 30" bass on a dawn east current in the canal one on the tail hook the other on the belly hook. Love them polaris.
