The Chopper Prop is deliberately uneven: instead of a smooth even buzz it throws irregular splashes, turbulence and bubble trails, the signature of a baitfish struggling on the surface rather than one swimming calmly. Ahead of it sits a modified Trick Darter lip, which turns rod jerks into a sharp side-to-side dart and settles into a tight wobble on a slow retrieve. A high centre of gravity keeps the floating posture stable at rest and helps the 80.5mm, 7g body cast accurately for its size. Built by Megabass and ITO Engineering in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating surface-wake lure, 80.5mm, 7g (1\/4 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsymmetric Chopper Prop generating irregular splashes, turbulence and bubble trails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified Trick Darter lip for sharp darting on jerks and a tight wobble on slow retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh centre-of-gravity balance for a stable floating posture and accurate casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns across or just under the surface, leaving a rolling wake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile that still creates commotion in open water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted with #6 treble hooks, two per lure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Megabass \/ ITO Engineering; five colour patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteady wake retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wind slowly and evenly so the prop turns continuously and the body pushes a visible V-wake.
