The fish wasn’t biting. You’d been there for two hours. The flask was empty. The sandwich was gone. Your phone had no signal and you were starting to have thoughts — real thoughts, the kind that only come when you’re sitting very still next to water with nothing happening.
And then you switched to the Topwater Popper.
The popper sits on the surface and, when you twitch the rod, makes a sound. A specific sound. A sound that bass and pike find, for reasons known only to them, completely irresistible. The water explodes. The line goes tight. The flask is forgotten. The sandwich is irrelevant. You are, suddenly, very much present.
High-quality ABS body. Sharp treble hooks. Realistic paint finish that looks like something a fish would actually want to eat. Works for bass, pike, perch, and any other predator that has opinions about what is happening on the surface of the water.
The fish was not biting. Now it is. This is why you came.
