Quick take
A classic 1 1/4" floating popper with a pulsating hula skirt for topwater bass and pike strikes.
The Arbogast Hula Popper is a topwater lure about 1 1/4 inches long and 3/16 ounce, with a cupped front that makes a popping sound on the surface. Its rubber skirt keeps moving during pauses, which suits anglers working bass and pike along the top of the water. The frog yellow belly finish on a stainless steel body gives it a clear profile for working shallow cover.

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.
