It’s super pricey.īest Pencil Poppers would include the following: I thought that was a very cool design concept the way it glides without a lot of resistance on your arm. Like it literally doesn’t wear your elbow out jerking it from side to side. But you can cast it a mile and call up big trophy bass from a distance. So it has to be thrown on a swimbait rod. It’s really a big swimbait except it’s a solid body walking bait. This is what we throw on the big waters like Kentucky Lake on windy days to still provide enough commotion to get bit because they can still walk even going up and down in the waves. They are created to be able to walk in chopping conditions or less than ideal topwater conditions. These are generally heavier, longer and with a bulbous tail section. Some are made out of balsa but most are made out of plastic with rattles inside of them.Īn offshoot of walking baits is pencil poppers. They can as small as 4 inches and as big as 9 inches in length. They are great to work over flooded bushes and grass or along rip rap. They are great for schooling fish, fish on expansive flats or backs of pockets. Walking topwaters can cover a lot of water as fast or slow as you want to work the lure.

Walking topwater baits are made to be cast long distances and then be retrieved with a series of short rod twitches on semi-slack line that gets the bait gliding back and forth in a walk-the-dog routine.
Some poppers can be worked with slight twitches in a cadence and the bait will walk back and forth why popping along. You want to make the bait cup water and make a gulping or popping sound while splashing on the surface. The most effective ways to work a popper are with small twitches of the rod tip on a semi slack line. It can be really good in clear water and even in dirty stained water. It’s a great spring bass fishing topwater when fish are coming shallow and looking to make a nest near a shallow piece of cover.
