Quick take
Topwater popper with cupped mouth and Fusion19 hooks that spits, pops and walks with minimal rod movement for bass.
The Berkley Bullet Pop in CJ Shad is a 2.75-inch hard-bodied topwater popper that weighs 0.4 ounces. A tapered back adds flash, and a cupped mouth makes a spitting and popping action when the line is kept tight or semi-slack. It suits anglers who want a shad-colored surface lure for ponds and open water.

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.
