Rebel Pop-R Topwater Popper - $4.99

Often imitated but never duplicated, the Rebel Pop-R is the standard by which all other top water poppers have been judged for over three decades. Slowly chug it along the water's surface or retrieve it quickly like a skittering shad, during certain times of year bass can't resist blowing up on the Rebel Pop-R. Available in a variety of sizes and colors to match your fishing situation, only the original Rebel Pop-R has the faith of America's top water master, Zell Rowland.

Rebel Lures  Length Weight
Small Pop-R 2" 1/8oz
Pop-R 2.5" 1/4oz
Magnum Pop-R 3" 1/2oz

Treble Hooks

Comments: This is a very effective popper that catches a variety of species, including largemouth bass. I replace the rear hook with a VMC X-Rap Tail Treble Hook and the middle hook, too, with a Gamakatsu Magic Eye Short Shank Round Bend Treble Hook. When replacing hooks, be careful not to upsize to the point where the lure rides too low in the water and impairs its action. Also, if you tie directly to the lure, add a split ring so the popper can swing around more readily on the pause.

Comments: I've been fishing Rebel Pop-Rs for years and they are great lures, especially for the money.  Spits and pops great.  The hooks aren't the greatest, I usually replace them. I can't see spending $25 on a similar lure, this $5 model works just fine.

Comments: The Ladyfish or Herrings love them

From: Carmela

Comments: i use the small version of this in foxy shad for river smallies, and they absolutely kill it.

Comments: Catches fish? Yup. Junk hooks? Yup. WIll it get out fished by cheaper costing baits? Yup.  See, the same applies for your more expensive japanese baits, Mr. Meatwad ;)  I buy my fair share of lucky crafts and Megabasses, but you have to give credit where credit is due. 

From: David: Murrieta, CA

Comments: For us fisherman who cannot afford to buy a $20 popper, this is our bait. Its been a round so long, pops great, walks well too, and just plain works. I mean, c'mon, its a Rebel.

From: Scotty: VA

Comments: Who ever says junk hooks, well mine are sharp and last a few weeks. Also, they catch fish well. It comes down to the action you give it.

From: Joe: OH

Comments: Catches fish? Yup. Junk hooks? Yup. WIll it get out fished by more costly baits? Yup. If you are dealing with pressured, weary fish, go ahead and throw this while I whoop your buttocks on something made in Japan. Sorry, truth hurts.

From: Meatwad: pop lock n drop it

Comments: Fantastic popper. Catches bass with the best of 'em, and only five bucks. Great deal.

From: Jeremy: Tampa, FL

Comments: Why Anyone would look any further and pay 10$ for one of these, I don't know. These are Great poppers! Extremely durable, and have awesome action. Dont ignore them because of the price. These are the real deal!

From: Cobi: MI

Comments: Love this popper! And so do the bass! I don't do a ton of topwarer but when I do I've got this tied on. A good pop pop and dying retrieve works really good. Get one they are only $5 and worth every cent.

From: Mat: Ohio

Comments: I love this topwater always catches me fish in summer and fall. Silver black gets the job done for me. Caught countless numbers of fish on all the sizes and a few other colors

From: MN

Comments: I just bought one of these the first day i used it i caught 10 fish. I love these poppers they are the best simply because they are very affordable. also if you take care of them they keep going and going.

From: Garrett: USA

Comments: I've always loved these topwaters, especially with all the new ones on the market, you can still afford these.  I usually change the hooks on them but the other day I had a factory split-ring break when swinging a fish.  I will definitely still use the Pop-R but I am letting everyone know to take care of them, they'll pay you back!

From: Luke: Lake Charles, LA

Comments: The ole bass popper works like magic in missourri on small farm ponds super durable i have caught probably 25 fish on one lure and it still works like new all i did was put new hooks on it i have 16 of these poppers 6 in the ole bass color

From: Austen: Cottonwood, AZ

Comments: Timeless. For a wonderful price of $5, you get a fish catching machine. The hooks on these are super sharp, get yourself one, or 2, or 3... A+ Color:  Ole' Bass and Silver black, Magnum size for magnum sized bass!!!! I like to work this lure with a pop, count to three, pop pop retrieve.

From: David: Murrieta

Comments:By far the best topwater popper for the money that you can buy. You can pay more but you won't get a better bait. The Pop R in the blue and chrome will catch bass when nothing else will. Don't break the bank get you a couple of these and go fishing.

From:William: Hohenwald, TN

Comments:These topwaters are really nice. They are very durable and they catch a lot of fish.
