Quick take

A classic 2 inch topwater popper with popping action, feathered treble and upgraded hook hangers for bass on the surface.

The Hula Popper 2.0 in Blue Kill is a 2-inch, 3/8-ounce topwater popper built on the classic 1948 body shape. Its cupped face makes the splashing pop that draws bass up to the surface, and a feathered rear treble in size 6 adds movement behind it. It suits anglers who like working a bait across the top at dawn, dusk or over calm water.

Best for

  • Early morning topwater sessions for largemouth bass
  • Working around shallow grass and lily pads
  • Creating surface commotion on calm water

Skip if

  • Fishing deep water where topwater won't reach fish
  • Targeting smallmouth that prefer smaller presentations

Strengths

  • The classic popping face creates loud surface commotion and splash
  • Feathered rear treble adds bulk and creates strikes on the drop
  • Upgraded hook hangers allow the hooks to swing freely

Trade-offs

  • The 3/8 oz weight limits casting distance on heavy line
  • Topwater poppers require an erratic retrieve; steady retrieve won't work
  • Crackle pattern may chip with heavy use
