Favorite Popper? 2024

Aluma-Bass reply :

Whats your fav topwater popper style bait and why?

loodkop reply :

Spro popping frog because I can throw it anywhere. Hardbait is a tie between PopR and chug bug.

Maico1 reply :

Those Pop Max things.............

J Francho reply :

I got a little TD Popper, as an "extra" in a pack of baits I bought from Deep that caught them well on Oneida last fall.

Hanover_Yakker reply :

I love the SPRO Popping Frog (especially in Black), but I have a Rebel Pop-R that is pretty hard to beat and a close third is my bone colored Creek Chub jointed popper.

Teal reply :

Duh!! Rebel PopR !! (Green perch pattern)

Close second is Spro Poppin Frog / black

Same here on the popping frog. As for hard poppers, I started years ago with a Pop-R, and always caught fish on it, but spent the better part of the last 8-10 years "looking" and fishing others hoping to find something "better", and have come full circle back to the Pop-R.

I did the same thing ww2farmer, tried others but went right back to the lure I caught my first bass on.

Jay Ell Gee reply :

I will agree that the spro popping frog is pretty great. I prefer pumpkin, as my frogs down here are brown.

Favorite hard popper for the longest was the H2O express poppers. However, after using a few Damiki D Pop 70's... I'm sold. They are a great size, cast well, and can walk the dog like a spook. I like the Holo Bluegill color myself, but the shad colors work as well.

rockchalk06 reply :

The old silver and black 1/4 oz Rebel Pop R. That has produced more fish than any other bait n

Matthew Veillion reply :

Rebel pop r green perch pattern. Cheap and catches fish so why change it?

Yellow Magic Popper

Xcalibur Zel-Pop

Teal reply :

My wifes PB (6lbs) came off a rebel pop r silver and black. She didnt care for the bait at first but since she caught that fish she thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread.

I am right now, as we speak looking at a shopping cart full of one popper from each company that is 10$ and under. Looking to see if I can find something as good or better than the POPr, now I know people swear by others, but if these little bad boys catch fish at WAY less then others, how can i switch.

I love the Pop-R and while they are not all made great, you get a few that are always dead on, the spit great, pop loud and walk well.

I really want to try a few new ones, but at the cost of around 50-60 bucks for 5-6 lures....I am not sure it will be worth it.

River2sea really has my eye as they build quality lures, and so does the Zell pop by xcalibur. We will see.

nwmike reply :

try the river2sea you will not be disappointed. great bait with great build quality.

Jaiden reply :

bassbill reply :

Hooligan reply :

PopX and Pop Max. I've also done extremely well on a modified yellow magic that I've learned to make. The MB baits are just unreal, though.

OkeechobeeAngler reply :

Hula popper and a Lucky 13.

Bankbeater reply :

I like the Pop-R also. For a small bait it seems to catch larger fish.

BrettD reply :

Im another one that uses spro popping frog or a rebel pop-r. The fish in my avatar was caught on a pop-r.

webertime reply :

Spro Popping Frog and the Jackall Boil Trigger. The BT isn't much to look at (tiny mouth/cup) but wow, what a BLOOP it makes, caught some good fish on it.

BassWhole! reply :

I grab old pop-rs from flea markets (after shaking for proper sound of course), float to determine attitude, those that make the grade get stripped to bone (those other than bone don't make the cut of course) For those who haven't washed out comes Hell week, lip is filed (whittled actually) and shinny new hardware with #6 round gammys and 3 (and only 3) strands of white hackle with red thread on the rear. Then they are fished until "the one" makes himself known. Or you can forgo all that and get a Yellow Magic, Don Iovino or Zell Pop, all good poppers, don't be afraid to fine tune these as well, I know $10-$15 per might make you reluctant, but it pays, particularly when its dead calm, and they just want a subtle spit. When they are really chewing, most any popper will do...

MCS reply :

My favorite is the Rebel Pop-r. Love the rebel 50th anniv. twin pack colors. I need to pick a few more packs of them up. Most of the big fish I have caught topwater were on pop-r's
