must-have for top water on bass river ... lightning blue

pop it, swim it, or walk it. great for when forage is a little smaller and feeding heavily subsurface or surface

I am known for trying out weird things in fishing. Like using saltwater lures in freshwater and the other way around. Well ...,Today tried out my large Chub on our 26.acre lake whose large mouths are known to be very picky. Made a long cast with my Van Staal Reel with12 foot surf rod, Reeled in very slowly with a few pops every so often. Suddenly the chub was struck just below the surface. After a considerable battle, I was very pleased to pull in a 21 inch large mouth cow. Now this bass would never please a southern fisherman. But in Michigan that is considered to be a very nice fish. Something that may interest (some) fishermen. After 30+ years of fishing the same lake, I have noticed the following...Fish seem to learn from their mistakes unlike some people. Lures in the past that were highly successful suddenly stop working. Even years later our fish will not touch them. Could they somehow be passing the information on to others? Silly thought. Huh?

AWESOME product striper love them.

Have to work them fast to keep the lure on the surface. I agree with other reviews, not really a popper, more of a pencil stick bait. I purchased the metallic one and the chrome paint is chipping off after just a few outings. Have yet to catch a fish on it.

This lure should be used when the water is pretty calm and there is bait near the surface so that the bass are surface oriented. It is also important to give it the proper action: get it moving slowly as soon as it
hits the water to keep it from sinking then skitter it across the surface about 6 feet then pop it gently a couple times and repeat until a striper knocks the you- know- what out of it. I've had real good luck with
Striper Strikes for over 50 years but you've got to use them properly.

Great little lure for bass and blues. Work it more like a pencil than a regular popper.

This lure has stood the test of time and continues to catch fish today. It casts very well and must be retrieved quickly with some pumping action to cause surface disruption. I swap out the rear treble hook with a single dressed hook.

havent caught many fish on them some people like them just have not worked for me

Can't stock my new jetty back without one of these time proven fish catchers!!! If you don't have at least one, get one!!! Enough said!!!

Small stick bait.
Works like needle plug but look like pencil.
retrive just retrive make a action.
small and strong

It has a very good action but I don't catch many fish with it. It is not bad.

It's effective, but not as good as an atom popper.

It is popper shape but actually is closed to darter.
not much action. But cast really well

one of these poppers was my first striper lure and i still have some they are good when schoolies are on top and feeding. decent plug
