Super User roadwarrior Posted March 31, 2010 Super User Posted March 31, 2010 Rico is another I like, too! http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_61276_100005000_100000000_100005000_100-5-0 Quote
Stringjam Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 You can get MB PopMaxes all day long for less than $20 on ebay. I've bought used MB stuff for less than $10......just keep an eye out. Quote
dday07 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 my favorite poppers are zell pops and pop n image when on a lake or resv.,but river fishing you can't beat the skitter pop(small size)it just seems to be the right size those river bass want.i try the zell and image and they never work(at least for me) what is your fav. popper on rivers or streams?

Super User bilgerat Posted March 31, 2010 Super User Posted March 31, 2010 28 replies and no one went for the Rebel ? :-? I don't care if your popper was hand painted with feathers from an angel's wing, bass only see the underside of it. Besides the lousy stock hooks, I'll stick with the Pop-R. The Skitter Pop is another good one. Quote
Guest beowulfx71 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I noticed that last year too, tried 1/8 Pop Rs and 1/4 Zell Pops no dice, but Skitter Pops in the 05 size (3/16ths?) river smallies would smash. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 31, 2010 Super User Posted March 31, 2010 I noticed that last year too, tried 1/8 Pop Rs and 1/4 Zell Pops no dice, but Skitter Pops in the 05 size (3/16ths?) river smallies would smash. There's a video of Al Lindner lambasting smallies on a Skitter Pop (probably several videos). His favorite color is "Clown", which I believe they discontinued because it's very hard to find.

along99999 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Don't think, just buy. You can't lose floating baits! Unless you suck at tying knots, of course. mr pikey says differently. noway in hell am i going to lose a nearly $30.00 topwater to a pike. maybe if there weren't any around, possibly then i would get one. otherwise a $8.99 SP09 skitterpop will suffice & has proven itself time & time again. Ahh, didn't think about hammer handles. Stupid pikes ruin everything. I've been pretty lucky and not many toothy critters hit those expensive ones - I think they can sense the wrath they will incur if they do! I'd also have to throw a vote to the Iovino Splash It poppers. Very high quality baits in the $10 range, with patience. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted April 1, 2010 Super User Posted April 1, 2010 Spro Bronze Eye Popper (rainforest black), or the good ole Hula Popper. Quote
TxGator Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Cant believe no one like the old faithful DevisHorse. I like it in silver. Gator Quote
Super User RoLo Posted April 1, 2010 Super User Posted April 1, 2010 Cant believe no one like the old faithful DevisHorse. I like it in silver.Gator The Devil's Horse is a propbait, not a popper (it sizzles rather than pops) Roger Quote
Maico1 Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 MegaBass- Pop-Max Deps-Buffalow Duo- Hacker Slaver Chug Daiwa-MouthWasher There is not just one.....am sure I am missing some Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 1, 2010 Super User Posted April 1, 2010 Pop-R and Zell Pop. Never had a need to try anything else. (or spend $30.00 on a popper) Quote
Blue Streak Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I like the Ricos, been the best for me the last couple of years. I have a very old popper I traded a collector for many years ago and it is deadly. Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted April 2, 2010 Super User Posted April 2, 2010 Yellow Magics, pop R's, chug bugs, Spit n image, skitter pops. Just different tools in the tackle box. Quote
