Its cupped face pops, spits and chugs on the retrieve, but because the lure is moulded in high-floating 10X Tough ElaZtech it can be rigged weedless on a wide gap hook and worked through pads, grass, stumps and laydowns where a treble-hooked popper fouls on the first cast. The material is buoyant enough to float a heavy-gauge hook, so the bait keeps its nose-up surface posture even with a 5\/0 or 6\/0 fitted. In open water it can also be rigged line-through with a single large treble for a higher hook-up rate. Because the body is soft, a fish that commits holds on to something that feels like real forage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft plastic surface popper with a cupped, chugging face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-floating 10X Tough ElaZtech construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuoyant enough to float a heavy-gauge weedless hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigs weedless through pads, grass, stumps and laydowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be rigged line-through with a single treble for open water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft baitfish profile that collapses on the strike for better hook penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\" length, 3 baits per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWalk and pop over cover\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rigged weedless, use short downward rod strokes on slack line so the face spits, then pause two to three seconds.
