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
