Quick take
A 3 inch magnum topwater popper with a feathered treble and cupped mouth for maximum surface disturbance.
The Magnum Pop-R is the larger size of Rebel's classic cupped-face popper, a 3-inch, half-ounce floating lure in silver and black. Its concave face makes a splash and pop on the surface, and a dressed rear treble adds flash. Anglers throw it for bass and striped bass, chugging it slowly or skittering it faster across open water.
Best for
- Bass and stripers in open water situations
- Dawn and dusk when fish feed aggressively at the surface
- Anglers who can work poppers with steady action
Skip if
- You need subtle presentations
- You fish heavily weeded shallows where poppers get tangled
Strengths
- Cupped mouth and feathered treble create tremendous surface disturbance to attract fish
- 1/2 oz weight allows longer casts than ultralight poppers
- Diagonal scale pattern reflects light and creates fish-attracting flash
Trade-offs
- Aggressive popping requires upper body strength and wrist flexibility
- Surface disturbance style can spook wary fish in clear water
- Feathered treble tends to collect weeds and debris

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.
