Popper (fishing)
A popper is an artificial fishing lure .
Poppers come from North America and are a special form of wobbler that is only guided on the surface of the water. They have a concave, inwardly curved head shape. By pulling jerkily, water is thrown upwards in an arc in front of the popper. A loud splashing or plopping noise is generated (hence the name: to pop: bang, clap, pop), which tempts predatory fish to bite. In addition, some poppers shear sideways a little. It is crucial that you lead Popper very slowly and take long breaks in which you do nothing; because at this very moment, when almost everything has calmed down on the surface, the very aggressive bite is usually carried out by the predatory fish. The popper is the ideal bait for heavily weed waters, because there are almost no hangers on the water surface. However, the rest of the equipment should be strong enough to get a hooked fish out of the herb.
