Rebel Super Pop R

The Super Pop R is defined by its specific cup-faced design, which is engineered to displace water more aggressively than standard poppers. This creates a distinct 'spit' and splash that triggers predatory strikes from bass, even in calm conditions.

It performs best in calm to light chop. The cup face is designed to create a disturbance on the surface, so it is most effective when the water is relatively still and the fish can easily locate the sound and splash of the lure.

There is no single 'best' speed, but the most effective technique is usually a 'pop-and-pause' retrieve. Give the rod tip a sharp twitch to create a splash, then let the lure sit motionless for a few seconds before repeating; the strike often happens during that pause.

While it is specifically optimized for bass, the Super Pop R is an excellent choice for any predatory fish that feeds on the surface, such as pike, pickerel, or even schooling stripers in shallow water.

The finish is durable enough for standard use, but like any hard-plastic lure, it can show wear after repeated strikes from toothy predators. It is built to withstand heavy fishing pressure, but expect some cosmetic scuffs over time.
