Dialing in your popper

When fishing top-water or shallow areas for bass, it's hard to beat a popper. To optimize your popper success, start out walking the bait in order to cover water. When you see the bait crossing over cover, pause and twitch it, to keep the bait in the strike-zone. Anglers usually associate poppers with a stop-and-go popping retrieve, but did you know most quality poppers are made for a walking-the-dog action? The Jackall SK Pop Grande is made to walk-the-dog and stop, for a pop-and-pause action. The resulting side-to-side action is what triggers fish to bite and allows the bait to effectively cover water. The small, compact profile of the SK Pop Grande will get bites when the larger top-waters are not producing.
