Rated 5 out of 5Â by greenohio822 Deadly night lure
Own the 3/8th in black and this is my personal favorite night lure, even above the Jitterbug. I feel I can do so much more with it. Pop, twitch, hop, rip, or slowly reel it in and you will destroy largemouth on a warm and calm night under the moon. Just start slowly and work your way up to speed. Often you will hear them explode back to back once your'e fishing at the right speed. Hold on cause some will catch you off guard and scare you to death!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by fishingJP Great old school tackle!
Hula Popper has been around for a long time and has been a great fish producer for me over the years I even reluctantly caught a cotton mouth with one once that was cool but also not so much. I like to use a large black Hula Popper at night and also use other sizes and colors for river fishing. The Hula Popper is a little tough to master at first but once you get the hang of it you have an effective lure on your hands. Work it right and hang on!

I love the Hula Popper, it is one of my favorite top-water lures that I own, probably #3, right behind the Jitterbug and Zara Spook. The one I mainly use is over 14years old, the 2" in Firetiger. Its really sad to see that BPS online doesn't offer the Firetiger color, I would buy a few. All round a great lure, better than the Rebel Pop-R, in my opinion. One disadvantage is that a lot of people can't figure out how to use them correctly.

I know you can get skirts for the Hula Popper at Bass Pro Shops for the bigger Hula Popper and the medium size that will plug right on, but I to have a couple of the very tiny Hula Poppers and have not seen a skirt for them. Perhaps I should should look.

When my skirts get worn and torn, I buy some Spinnerbait skirt material that matches the color of the popper, trim it to size, and affix it with super glue. To affix it just add a light bottom layer of glue to the bait and stick on the desired amount of skirt until it dries and adheres to the bait, then add another layer of glue on top of the skirt material. This should keep it on for a great while, you can even add a small size skirt collar on top of the top layer of glue, after it dries.Answers

Just throw it along the lines of weed beds, bass beds in the spawn, along or between spread out lilly pads, or just out in shallow water. Pop it along so that it looks as though it is spitting water up.

Use your rod tip to twitch your line to get a nice sounding "pop" and you have it mastered. Hang on tight and good fishin'.

It might be a bit heavy of a line for a top water unless you are using flourocarbon. Generally fish it around rip rap and other sorts of cover. Give it a pop or two and then let sit shortly. Change up the pattern of the pops so to make it look more sparatic.Answers

I'm sure it does, bass will eat anything.A:Â
not really. It's like a tail on a kite. But you can buy just skirts.A:Â
I use these almost exclusively as my go to topwater lure. I have never used it without the skirt but I think you could. The skirt adds motion to the sound, a combination that appeals to bass (and many others!). Having said that, the lure will still float and "pop" without the skirt, you just won't have the movement. Now you've got me curious, I'm going to try it!A:Â
Yes, I lost my popper last year while teaching my daughter how to use it. It was so old the skirt was worn off.Bass didnt seem to mind as it jumped out of the water and made off with it. I was so upset I had it for over 10 years.
Purchased a new one and it is so fun.
A:Â
Yes, it will. It's a lot less weedless, but I have skirted and unskirted, and they both get'er done.A:Â
Yes it will work without the skirt, but you will have to work it more like a Pop-R. The key to the skirt is you can let the bait just sit and the skirt still moves.A:Â
it could work maybe not as well though1 of 1
