Rated 5 out of 5Â by Crazyforfishing Excellent Topwater Lure

Rated 5 out of 5Â by captainRon956 Best surface popper
This is the best surface lure out there. I have caught many limits of spanish mackerel with this lure out in the surf, I caught my largest speck. This is my go to lure every time i hit the surf. cant go wrong with the red head/white body, and blue/black top with chrome underside. a little over pried, but worth it...

is a silent topwater lure usually better for bass or is a rattling topwater lure usually better?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
rattling are usually better so what ive noticed in past experiences because it triggers more bites, wakes up the fish, and fish feed on rattling lures aggressively
A:Â
I like topwater lures with and without rattles. Some fisherman say they scare the fish, not me. Majority of the time I fish topwater with a rattle usually good results.A:Â
Rattle is the best make some noiseA:Â
Rattling by FAR!!!!! i have 2 different ones, the rattling and the silent ......Rattle = 10X more fish!!!A:Â
i have pop r's hula poppers and jitter bugs and for me the pop r and hula popper are the two best with the pop r the best because of the ball inside
A:Â
This depends on the mood of the fish. Many times, the extra rattle can be an attractant for fish that may be in a neutral or negative mood, however, sometimes fish will respond better to a "silent" hard bait. The best choice would be to have a variety of baits, and allow the fish to decide which that they like best.Details:Â
is this better or worse than the skitter pop?Answers
A:Â
I tried the Skitter pop and it still doesnt hold up to the chug bug IMO.The chug bug has a longer body, it casts a bit more stable, less hang ups in the line. When you pop the chug bug it pops straight whereas the Skitter pop tends to walk.
A:Â
It is better if u just want a bite, but the rapala is way stronger and will ensure that once u hook the fish it'll get to you, ive lost a lot of fish on the chug bug due to the metal tip where you tie ur line, it simply falls off sometimes and you loose the fish, not durable.

I would say that the Chug Bug is more effective overall, but each has the abilityto catch fish.
Here is a limit of fish I caught on the chug bug at Toledo Bend, La on a 3x5 table.

Their both about even. They have the same action pretty much.A:Â
to me its better where i fish but some may be in the ability of the user. And how the fishreact stop or pause from time to time
and speed up. Have used 3 different poppers at same time but constant action on chugger

Chugbugs are the best topwater bait on the market today... I like the perch color the best . It's a bigger bait that you can pop softly or pop hard depending on the mood of the fish. And it can also be used in a walk the dog motion that you really can't do with a skitter pop because of it's smaller size. Most of my bigger fish came from using a chugbug..

I have been useing the chug bug since i was 5 so i may be a little biased but i have caught a lot of trophy fish on the chug bug . I have also fished the skitter pop and i wasn't impressed with its spitting action. With the chug bug you can pop it ,spit it, twitch it, and walk it its a good all around bait.Answers
A:Â
Bullfrog or Nartual Perch (not sold at Bass pro)A:Â
My fav is the 2 1/2 " - 1/4 oz. Bone color. it is quite a search bait and they never have trouble finding it or hitting it.A:Â
baby bass and tennesee shad
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
it depends on the water color or what time of day you use it. I use more of the natural colors because it is good in almost any condition and water type, but the more flashy one could be used in darker or stained water.A:Â
The best color for my area is Tenessee Shad. It seems to out fish all other most of the time.A:Â
I like the bluish/chrome and the frog color with white belly.A:Â
Personal favorite is Black and redDetails:Â
I was wondering if the hooks get tangled up when both are turned to the middle of the lure. It's happened to me on some other poppers while fishing and has cost me countless fish.Answers
A:Â
Yes it does get tangled -_-, ive lost a few fish on itA:Â
yes, unfortunatly that is a downfall of topwater poppers, the front treble will get caught up on the swivelA:Â
bass99,I've not had that issue with a chug Bug but get it all the time with the Pop-N-Image lure.
A:Â
I havent had a problem with this.

i have been using this lure for a while now and it has never happend to me while i was using it.A:Â
It's never happened to me with the chug bug.A:Â
Yes sometimes the line get caught on the first hook, but i found it helps to make smooth casts and not stop the lure suddlenly.A:Â
very rarely..the line sometimes does
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
no they do not but you should get a different feather hook for the rearAnswers
A:Â
Stained you mean , like murkey??? if so the Bullfrog #04 or the Nartural perchA:Â
Beastly,My suggestion would be some bright color like PHANTOM CHARTREUSE or Bone for muddy water. Black may also work well - just as it would at night.
A:Â
solid black should make the best silhouette on the surface...that's what i'd useA:Â
For cloudy or dirty water should stay with a darker lureA:Â
Tennessee Shad the absolute best...they stopped making the other best for some reason..Blue Shad
A great lure, my favorite beside the Spro Frog for topwater, and be careful...those hooks can be dangerous
Good Luck!

I DON' T FISH STAINED WATER MUCH BUT IF I DID I'D CHOOSE THE PERCH COLOR FIRST OR THE BLACK & BLOOD RED GILLS . THE MAIN THING IS DON'T BE AFRAID TO POP IT GOOD TO LET THEM KNOW IT'S THERE..Answers
A:Â
Marketing calls it the "Chug Bug® MadFlash". It is a 4 3/8 " - 7/8 oz. bait. This size is also available in the standard STORM® Chug Bug but for some reason not in the Rattlin' Chug Bug.A:Â
yes it's made for saltwater...but no reason you can't use it for big game freshwaterA:Â
Not sure about a Magnum size. Then biggest i have seen or used is the 3-3/4" but the also make a saltwater series in new colors just replace the hooks with fresh water hooks
Details:Â
What happened to the mini chug bug? Regular size works ok on my lake but they eat up the smaller one. ThanksAnswers
