Inside the body sits a patented Side-Stepping Balancer — a fixed tungsten weight in the tail plus a spherical tungsten ball toward the front that rolls from side to side. On a tight line the bait spits and chugs; fed slack, that moving ball lets it swing into a walking action without changing lures. The head carries a patented gill system of two slits that let water pass through the body, so the surface disturbance is softer than the flat bloop of a conventional cupped-face popper. At 63mm and 7g it stays finesse-sized while still throwing real water — a useful answer for pressured fish and calm mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating topwater popper, 63mm (2-1\/2 in), 7g (1\/4 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented Side-Stepping Balancer: fixed tungsten tail weight plus a moving spherical tungsten balancer toward the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented gill system: two through-body slits for a more natural surface wake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouth cup shaped to maximise spitting distance on each twitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted with #6 trebles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile for clear water and heavily fished venues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort spit cadence\u003c\/strong\u003e — Twitch in roughly three-inch pulls on a semi-slack line; each pull throws water about ten inches ahead.
