Overview
A small package ready to bring big topwater explosions to the end of your line, the Duel Hardcore Popper is the next generation in surface busting lures. The only popper on the market with a magnetic weight transfer system, you will achieve longer casts than ever before on such a small presentation. In addition to the revolutionarily long casts, the Duel Hardcore Popper delivers extremely boisterous action. It can be fished in a ‘Pop and Stop’ or ‘Walk the Dog’ style that enrages bass into viciously striking the bubbling and splashing lure.
Building off its incredible performance attributes are extremely detailed aesthetic features to further motivate any suspicious predators. A deep concave mouth with a bold paint job sits at the head of the bait to move a tremendous amount of water when worked and also provide a bright target for bass to key-in on. For added realism, a 3D checkered scale pattern, 3D gill rakers, and 3D eyes are all integrated into the bait and are designed to stand up to serious abuse. The underside of the bait boasts a ribbed construction to help disturb more water and leave a bubble trail for fish to follow. Finished with premium components and a sticky-sharp feathered treble hook at the tail, the Duel Hardcore Popper is a game-changing addition to the explosive topwater world.

Comments: Smooth Transaction really like everything I ordered except the two hardcore poppers as they are impossible to tie my line to because the line tie is recessed .

Comments: Bought the Black Matte popper and out fished everyone at our annual Canada trip. Mainly caught 3.5 to 4.5 Smallmouth and occasional Pike.

Comments: I purchased two of these hardcore poppers along with other items . I like everything I ordered but wish I didn't purchase the poppers they are useless because it's almost impossible to tie to the line guide its recessed so far back I put a split ring on which made it easier to tie but killed the action so it was a waste of money and not happy with them at all.

Comments: Very difficult to tie line to popper so I added a split ring .

Comments: Surprisingly good popper. Walks easily and also works well fished slowly, stop n go. You will want to tie directly as the line tie is set back into the mouth.

Comments: You pretty much need to add a snap or split ring. Otherwise, it is hard to tie on with the extra cup in the face by the line tie. I fished it without a snap or ring, and the action was not exciting. I will try again with an added line-tie. Update: Adding oval split rings didn't work. You pretty much have to tie that loop knot that lets your bait swing freely. I don't feel like learning a new knot just to fish one mediocre popper, so in the trash this bait goes.

Comments: The best popper on the market. This thing flat catches fish and is the best to make those long distant cast to catch the tough early fall topwater fish!

Comments: Overall great product, the colors and design are great. Really nice color patterns to choose from and the size of this popper is good size for most fish and its big enough that you can launch it a good distance however, it doesn't walk the dog as great as my Ima finnesse popper. The popping actions and noise it creates are good though, its just the walking that u gotta work it at an angle depending where you cast to make it swim left and right. I would definitely buy this popper again though cuz i love the size and patterns it comes in and I have caught fish every single time i use this lure when used at the proper moment.
