Description

Breaking the mold of traditional topwaters, the RPE Tackle Poppin Shad offers a totally unique design that is unlike anything else on the market. Featuring a highly realistic baitfish profile, the RPE Tackle Poppin Shad sits low in the water and produces a walk-the-dog action that displaces more water and sends more vibration through the water column to attract fish from a greater distance than your typical walk-the-dog style bait. The RPE Tackle Poppin Shad also features a small cupped mouth that creates a subtle popping action when twitched and a loud splashing disturbance when fished with a quicker retrieve. Its jointed tail design generates a subtle secondary action, similar to a feathered treble, which helps trigger wary fish into biting as well.Covered in true-to-life details, the RPE Tackle Poppin Shad features large 3D eyes, gill plates, textured scales, and pectoral fins the absolutely come to life in the water and make fish think it is a live baitfish. Armed with two razor sharp treble hooks that will help you land more fish, the RPE Tackle Poppin Shad is an innovative topwater that is a must-have for every angler’s tackle box.RPE TackleLengthWeightClassPoppin Shad5"1ozTopwaterUpgrade Your Treble Hooks!

Field Notes

This is a surface bait designed to be worked on top with a walk-the-dog retrieve, giving it a mix of side-to-side gliding and subtle popping. It is a good choice when fish are feeding on baitfish near the surface or when you want extra commotion to call fish up from a distance.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile
  • Walk-the-dog action with added popping disturbance
  • Jointed tail adds secondary movement

Cons

  • Topwater presentation can be less effective in heavy wind or rough water
  • Treble hooks can be cumbersome around thick cover
