Popper
Bob's Banger
Loud surface call-up
Sea bassSurface
A Popovics popping head designed to displace water and call bass up from below. Louder and more aggressive than a Gurgler.
Fish this when
Bass present but not finding the fly — coloured water, wind chop, low light, or any time you need to make the fly audible.
Why it works
The popping action creates noise and visible disturbance that bass home in on, then take during the pause that follows.
