Quick take
A small silent popper with a cupped mouth that creates multiple actions from subtle bloops to aggressive chugs with minimal rod movement.
The 6th Sense SplashBack Popper is a topwater bait for anglers who want several surface actions from one lure, from soft bloops to sharp pops and chugs. Its V-shaped keel and flat sides let it walk side to side with little rod movement, and its rattle-free body suits clear water and pressured fish. At 2.76 inches with a 3/8 oz body and #4 hooks, it suits bass around docks, grass edges and seawalls.
Best for
- Topwater fishing in clear water where silence is an advantage
- Docks and grass edges where walking presentations cover more water
- Pressured fish that may spook from louder lures
Skip if
- You fish murky water where sound and vibration attract fish
- You need a lure that casts far into the wind
Strengths
- Oversized cupped mouth allows variable actions by changing retrieve speed and rod cadence
- V-keel and flat sides enable walking motion with minimal rod input
- Silent design reduces spook potential in clear water and low-pressure situations
Trade-offs
- Smaller profile limits casting distance compared to larger poppers
- Silent design means less cover in murky water where noise helps
- Treble hooks with feathers are prone to snagging in heavy vegetation

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
