Good popperI got this one because it's smaller than some of the other brands, and since some of the ponds I go to have only fish a pound and under, sometimes on the bigger popper they would hit them right between the hoods making very hard to hook.
I've gotten strikes, but not as many as with other poppers.
The smaller size works great to hook the smaller bass, but I can't wait for the chance to try it on bigger bass.

greatI had a good one hit it. Didn't get him though, because I was using 6 pound test and an ultra-light combo. My mistake.

Best Popper Ever!I love this little popper - I used one on my September small mouth fishing trip on the Susquehanna River and by the end of the two days you could not even tell what color is was it was so beat up. Top of the water fishing is no doubt the most fun way to fish and this popper can't be matched. been using it for 5 years now.

Great for blitzing bluesMy partner and I were trolling in a tournament out of Norwalk Ct., fishing in Long Island Sound for bluefish. We spotted a blitz, which is when birds and fish combine to attack schools of baitfish. I already had the small Popper R tied on a rod, just in case, since the water was teeming with small baitfish. We brought up the rigs and roared over to the spot where the blitz was, but the event was over by the time we got there. Figuring that the fish must still be nearby, I cast the popper out and began jerking it a bit as I reeled it in, when I saw a swirl just behind the lure. I made a short cast and gave it one "pop" and WHAM!! I was into a nice bluefish. The hooks held, and we landed it. 3 times that weekend I brought a blue aboard using that lure. And despite the teeth in a blue's mouth, the finish was hardly damaged on that popper. I was pleased, both with the lure, and with using an unorthodox lure to catch 3 bluefish. It demonstrated the versatility of the Popper R. I don't fish for bass, but I can imagine how effective this lure must be in those lily pads for old bucketmouh. The color I used was the silver/blue, if you're wondering. Get a few, you won't be sorry.
How effective is the Rebel Pop R for Freshwater Largemouth Bass? I fish in Florida retention ponds and lakes... will it produce results?
Asked by: Cast4BassFishing
Hello,
The Pop R has been fished by Pros and weekend fisherman for many years. It has been proven time and time. I do not think you will regret using it. Best of luck.
Thank you,

Why do I have to wait for all the rings to clear before I can work the bait when throwing a Pop-R?
Asked by: gamereddy
You don't have to do that always, it depends on the conditions and the fish.
I've gotten strikes with continuous pops, pop-pause-pop, leaving it still because I stopped to look the other way, even once the moment it hit the water from my cast.

what do you think is THE VERY BEST color for bass in this lure?
or are there a couple of very good colors?
Asked by: lurecollector
Each fishing location will be different, even each trip to the same area might have different results so there isn’t really a “Best” color to use when fishing. One color may work better one time but not as well the next time you fish. So, when selecting a lure color take a look at your surrounds (landscape and wildlife) to determine the color of lure to use. If the water is dark and murky (or stained) use bright and/or fluorescent colors that can draw the fish’s attention to the lure. If the water is clear, look around if the area and use colors which blend with the surrounds. If the area is rocky use a brown, tan, or a similar color. If there is grass and weeds then use more of the green colors. Each location will be different so try a good range of colors. Thank you for your question.

What is the best hooks for these baits.
Asked by: kdog1
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.

Should I use any weight on the line with this lure?
Asked by: Saxrulez
When you say weight I think you mean split shot. The point of a split shot is not to add weight to the lure for casting, but to suspend a lure a few inches off of the bottom. This is a top-water lure, and unless fished shallow will not reach anywhere close to the bottom. You want this lure to stay on top, not suspend. I will rarely use a split shot on any of my lures. No, don't add weight to this lure.

best way to fish?
Asked by: lurecollector
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.

do you think this or the rapala skitter pop is a better lure?
Asked by: lurecollector
I was using the skitter pop as my main popper until I lost it. Then I switched to this lure when I found it in my box. This lure is a little more durable since the skitter pop is made of wood, but the skitter pop proved better for me. Both worked well but the skitter pop slightly worked better than the pop r.
