Using Poppers in Fishing: Advanced Angling Techniques

Video Transcript

Ron Colby, Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits. We’re going to be showing you another top water bait today, and this is a little, we’ll call this a finesse popper. A little smaller poppers. The reason they’re called poppers is because of the dished out nose in the mouth right here. As they go through the water, they plop, burp, pop, pop, chug, and cause a little bit of commotion and a little more surface noise and stuff. The difference between working these and like a Sammie or a bigger top water is the key to these is the pause on that surface. What you want to be doing is after you hit the surface with this is you want to let it set. I usually wait until the rings go out to about 5-6 feet, chug it 2 or 3 times, stop it, let the rings go out 5 or 6 feet, chug it 2 or 3 times, and then just keep doing that. Sometimes you can also just wake this bait. Just start reeling it in a little bit and it gets under the surface and it’ll just wake across there and then stop it. That’s what look like a baitfish being chased right across the surface. Again, with your line, using a heavy model so it floats on the top of the water, will help these baits and your success rate with these baits increase immensely.
