Quick take
Soft frog popper with cupped mouth and recessed hooks for fishing weedbeds without snagging.
This red pearl version of the popper brings the same weedless frog design to bass anglers fishing lily pads and stumps. At about 2 inches long, its soft body lets it pop across the surface over cover. It is a topwater option for anglers who prefer a red pearl finish.
