Field Notes

This is a surface popper designed to work on top of the water with chugging and popping retrieves. It is best around low-light periods and over open water or near cover where bass can key on surface commotion.

Pros

  • Strong surface commotion and visibility
  • Compact 1/2 oz profile for easy casting
  • Gloss black finish can silhouette well in low light

Cons

  • Best only when fish are willing to strike on top
  • Treble-hooked topwater can be less ideal around heavy vegetation
