Popper Fishing

A concave-face topwater lure that "pops" and splashes with sharp rod jerks - explosive strikes from tuna, GT, bass, and stripers.

Water: Both Difficulty: Intermediate Cost: $80+

📖 Overview

Poppers dominate morning topwater fishing. The concave face throws water on each jerk, imitating wounded prey. Freshwater versions target bass; saltwater versions attract GT, tuna, and striped bass.
