Field Notes

Use this popper on the surface around calm to lightly rippled water, especially when fish are feeding shallow. Work it with short pops and pauses to create commotion and draw strikes from bass in low-light or warm-weather conditions.

Pros

  • Classic popper profile for surface strikes
  • Lightweight and easy to cast
  • Dressed rear treble adds extra attraction

Cons

  • Best only when fish are willing to come up
  • Treble hooks can snag vegetation and cover
