Rapala Skitter Pop

This balsa popper was presented by Rapala in 1999. Although the concept of operation of the popper was quite old, the Rapala Skitter Pop marked a small revolution in the world of these surface-specific lures.
The idea was to produce a wooden bait not only for the national fish of American fishermen, the black bass, but also to target carnivorous fish that live in tropical environments. The balsa used for the body floats much more than plastic materials and this offered an advantage in the functioning of the popper. However, it was an artificial device that was not easy to create and at that time the Rapala researchers began to produce several prototypes. Some models moved too much water during jerky recoveries while others emitted unattractive noises. In the end, the right compromise between emitted noise and attracting splashes was achieved by using a concavity of transparent plastic glued obliquely to the front of the head. Recommended for black bass, pike, sea bass.
