Popper: Artificial Lures for Surface Spinning Fishing
Poppers are topwater artificial lures designed for spinning, ideal for attracting predators in both fresh and saltwater. Featuring a rigid body made of balsa wood or plastic, they have a distinctive concave mouth that, when retrieved, produces a characteristic "POP" sound accompanied by a splash of water. This effect mimics a struggling baitfish, stimulating the fish's predatory instinct.

Construction Materials: Available in balsa wood or plastic, they offer durability and different actions in the water.
Recovery Techniques:
The classic retrieve involves downward strokes with the rod, causing the bait to produce bubbles and splashes, simulating a struggling fish.
Target Predators:
