Popper Lures

A popper is a surface bladeless wobbler that creates a gurgling sound when inserted. It is easily recognized among other types of bait by its characteristic notch in the front part. Externally, the popper reminds the fish of a toad, a wounded fish or an insect that has fallen into the water and creates a lot of chaotic movements.

But for a fisherman, a bright color is preferable, since it is more noticeable in the water and a person can follow the bait while retrieving it.
