Quick take
A 5.5 in topwater popper with a cup mouth and rattling chamber, designed for saltwater bass and pike.
A compact 4-inch topwater popper at roughly half an ounce, finished in chartreuse. The cup mouth pops and spits on the retrieve while internal rattles add noise. It suits anglers working bass, striped bass, pike and salmon with lighter gear.
Best for
- Stripers and bass in shallow saltwater flats
- Pike in coastal inlets
- Daytime topwater fishing in low light
Skip if
- You need a quiet lure; this one creates loud splashes
- You fish deep water where surface lures cannot work
Strengths
- Cup mouth design creates aggressive popping action on the retrieve
- Internal weight shift and rattle chamber help with casting distance
- VMC treble hooks have sharp points for solid hookups
Trade-offs
- The popper action requires an erratic retrieve; steady retrieving loses the effect
- Rattling chamber may reduce durability over time
- Best used in lower light; excessive splash in clear water may spook fish

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.
