Rebel's Pop-R is the standard by which all other topwater poppers have been judged for three decades. Each Pop-R features a dressed rear treble with hyper light-attracting strands of glitter filament for extra flash. The Pop-R produces the right amount of spit, pop and chug to attract strong strikes from the most lethargic fish.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by nepafisherman a killer top water bait
one of the best top water lures i have used. spent last sunday bass fishing with my son. we were on the water an hour or so with no bites. ive had this lure for a year or so and never tied it on. well last sunday i dusted it off and gave it a shot. the second or third cast it got smashed! the lure was in a foot of water and an 18" pickerel crushed it!!! he had both trebles in his mouth. a few casts later it got crushed agian. my son tied one of his on and soon we were killing them. we had six in the boat in no time. we missed four or five due to short strikes. it was awesome to watch a wake form as the fish was heading towards the lure. we fished this bait the rest of the day and had non stop action. we were using the bass and silver patterns. trust me grab a few of these baits and cast them out near structure you wont be sorry.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by BiteThis UNBEATABLE!
There is no comparison to Rebal Pop-R's! This bait is legit! I used it all year long this last year, caught everything from panfish to bass. This leure pushed its way to the top of box for topwater, and top 3 for most productive baits. This last spring, I lined up on the bank for a white bass run with dozens of other anglers around. They were throwing grubs, swimming minnows, rooster tails, short stick baits, you name it...they were catching 2/hour. I showed up and started throwing this first (baby bass color) and caught my limit in 45 mins. I was so upset that it was over so quick, but so impressed with how it produced! I had multiple anglers around me ask what I was using, after showing them some of them switched to top water baits that wre "similar" to the Rebal Pop-r. They didn't ahve near the success I was having.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by bigfishing85 Great Topwater Lure
I love this lure for topwater fishing. Especially when there is some chop to the water and I am fishing close to shore. I caught a bigmouth on one of these to only have him fight until he spit it out. The durability of these are awesome and they definitely attract fish! Get one today and use it early and later in the day for big fish.

If you're reading reviews for these, youre probaly like me before i put one on. not much faith in topwater lures. friend and i were out on the bass boat in michigan fishing off a sandy feet that went from 2 ft of water down to 25. fish would come out of 8-18 feet of water and annihalte them. In two days of using them we caught 3 trophy smallmouth and multiple 3+ pound largemouth. We got up when it was still dark out for a week JUST so we could use these lures, im serious. for clear water, i used the bass colored lure with red cup. give them a try. Best hard bait i have ever used.

Why do I have to wait for all the rings to clear before I can work the bait when throwing a Pop-R?

A:Â
you dont. Depending on the time of year, and what is happening in the water...your retrieve can vary. If the water is calm, I do pop it a little slower...pop, pop, pop, wait 3 secs, pop pop pop, rinse and repeat. If the water is less glassy, I move it a little quicker. If the water is really cold...you HAVE to move it slower. Warmer water, move it faster. Just vary your retrieve until you find what produces for you.
A:Â
Basically because the initial pop of the lure hitting the water will spook the fish. That and you are trying to mimic a bug or fish dying so it attracts them to a quick meal so to speak. Sometimes I do not wait on the rings to completely clear but you are supposed to because topwater fishing is a patient thing to do. I usually pop it twice and let it sit. I use the foxy shad color for my lake.

If you mean rings as in a fish touching the surface you don't have to just throw the lure past the rings and a little off to the side and work the lure. If you mean rings as in the ones that the lure makes when it "pops" you don't have to its all about making the "pop" and getting the fish to notice the lure.Details:Â
or are there a couple of very good colors?Answers

I use anything shad color or firetiger. Those are the two best colors in my opinion to use and I have always caught bass with those 2 colors.

Silver and black. The old tried and true colorA:Â
I have had the best luck with the Bass color. But it really depends on the water clairity at the time. My go to color is the baby bass though

The old expression "Match the Hatch" is a standard in fishing. You need to experiment (and take notes) on what size and color of the lure; the weather conditions, water temperature, etc., when you catch your fish.If you want a suggestion from someone who fishes these lures a lot, get a 1/4 ounce in a silver finish, you should catch something on it.

VMC treble hooks with a red tail on the back. Use a number 2 or 4 hook so it ensures you hook the fish without them spitting it out. I hooked a big one and it ended up spitting it out after the brutal fight.
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
The treble hooks that come with the lure work just fine. What I usually do is give the hooks some extra sharpening with a stone, and then color them red with a permanent magic marker. That should work just fine.Answers
A:Â
No, it is made for topwater and if you are looking to cast farther. Use a bigger rod with a lighter line. I use a 7 ft rod med-heavy with an 8 lb test line. The lighter the line, the farther the cast but it is also easy to backlash too so be careful.A:Â
no it only work above water and the weight wouldent helpA:Â
Nope. Throw it out there, give it a pop, then the treble goes into action. Simply reapeat.

NOA:Â
No. Nothing is needed. Make sure you don't use a swivel either. Just attach the line directly to the bait in the lip. Use a light braid (20-25 lbs max) or a lighter mono works good too.A:Â
No weight! You want it to pop on top of the water.A:Â
I would not. It is a top water bait.Answers
A:Â
I typically cast out as far as possible and then let the rings settle before twitching it to make it pop. They way to twitch it the best is to pull straight up 90 degrees and then reel in the slack slowly and watch the bait ALWAYS. Sometimes the bass like to attack the lure when it is sitting still. I use a foxy shad color for my lakes but use something that matches your bait fish.

Cast the lure. When it hits the water pause for 2-3 seconds. Do 2-4 small jerks with the rod tip down and pause 1-2 seconds. Do this and mix in a few larger jerks here and there. Only wrong way to fish these is to just reel it in.A:Â
iv found the best way to fish the Popper is to cast it right up against cover and let it sit. giving slow twitches now and then helps draw them in when the water is murky. If the water is warmer and the fish are more active, a quicker retreive can be better for reaction strikesA:Â
i just twitch twitch let it sit a little and keep doin that but dont always just do 2 twitches.A:Â
i would say walk the dog but slowley and i found that right when the lure contacts the water is when they hit most often so pause for a few seconds i hope this helpsA:Â
I cast this into fish jumps and around the bank (afternoon and mornings). Cast it and let it sit still for a few seconds. Then I pop it a couple times and let sit again for a second and then repeat. Change up the size of the pop and the speed.Good luck!
My Dad landed a couple of 8 lbs on this thing.
