Arbogast Hula Popper – 1/4 oz. – Perch

Thousands of anglers became die-hard topwater enthusiasts the first time they tried an Arbogast Hula Popper. The key to this lure’s success, beyond the frog profile and surface-disturbing ‘blurp!’ that accompanies every rod twitch, is the Hula Skirt that adorns the back end of the Hula Popper. Arbogast patented the Hula Skirt in 1939! This skirt continues to move even while the lure is motionless, a real strike trigger for bass and other predator fish. The rubber strands of the Hula Skirt provide movement even while the lure is sitting motionless. The spreading and undulation of these strands can turn a looking fish into a biting fish, a fact not lost on topwater anglers over the past 80 years. The wide, shallow open mouth provides a deep, resonate ‘blurp!’ when twitched and the frog profile is just what bass ordered. Cast near fish holding cover and let the ripples die down, then give it a twitch before letting the bait sit motionless for a few seconds. The Hula Popper catches active fish that are chasing bait, but really shines on neutral or inactive fish.
