Popper lures are great for attracting surface-feeding fish such as bass, trout, and pike. To use them effectively, cast the popper near the feeding fish and let it sit for a few seconds to create ripples. Then, use a combination of short, sharp jerks with your rod tip to make the popper splash and pop on the surface, imitating a wounded or struggling prey. This action often triggers a strike from predatory fish. Remember to vary your retrieval speed and rhythm to find what works best on that particular day. It's essential to use the right equipment, such as a medium to heavy rod with a fast action tip to cast accurately and set the hook effectively.
