The Rico® popper from Lobina Lures is one of the top baits on tour and is made to Rick Clunn's specifications. The perfectly tuned cup face creates the ultimate popping-and-bobbing action; the handlaid foil finish, feathered trailer and quality Gamakatsu® trebles are simply the best to be found anywhere. Length: 2-3/8". Weight: 1/4 oz.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aerium My most successful popper of Jul 2012
Used Tennessee Shad color Rico popper for catching bass and pike on Dogtooth lake (Ontario) in Jul 2012. Every second cast had a fish on the hook. Was very satisfied with this popper performance. Then lost it in weeds and had to use other poppers - drastic decrease in catch rates. Need to get one or two of these poppers again. If only they were not so expensive. Definetely recomending.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Firemike24 Outstanding Performance!
This topwater bait consistently outperforms others. I see this fishing side by side with others on my boat. I think that it is the rattle and the smaller/more defined splash cup on the front of the lure. The hooks are insanely sharp use extreme caution unhooking fish. I am a self proclaimed cheapskate, but even I don't have trouble dropping a little extra $ on this bait...

Rated 5 out of 5Â by DaveEast Excellent lure
My favorite topwater. The lower lip is cupped back slightly, and that creates a lure that spits like a shad skipping across the surface rather than a pop. Favorite method is to cast, let it sit for 20 seconds, then the slightest movement, then rip it across the surface as fast as I can while creating a smooth, spitting result. I don't want the lure bouncing wildly. Excellent hooks. Easy to wrap on new feathers at home if needed. Pretty rugged, and it catches a lot of fish before showing signs of wear on the finish.

Match the hatch. What do the fish in the water your fishing eat? That's the color for clear water. I like the bass fry color in clear to slightly stained when fishing for LM bass. I wouldn't be afraid to throw bright colors if smallies are the target. I don't use this lure in murky or muddy water.Answers

I fish them on 10-15 lb mono. Depending on the conditions, I tie it straight to the lure, or if catching larger fish or in more cover, I may add a swivel above a leader...

I tie it directly with a palomar knot, and then try to keep the knot at the bottom of the lure's ring. Helps it to skip a little better if you do that. Monofilament is my line choice. Flourocarbon sinks, and that would pull down the front of the lure.A:Â

I prefer mono for most hardbait topwater situations. Try the Rapala Knot tied directly to the nose ring of the popper. Just Google the term "Rapala Knot"...you'll find it.1 of 1
