What is the ideal use for popper baits?

Popper baits are particularly effective in open water during warm seasons as they mimic the action of prey, attracting predatory fish. These baits create a surface disturbance that can trigger strikes from fish that are actively feeding. Warmer water temperatures generally encourage more surface activity from fish, making it an ideal time to use popper baits.

While using popper baits in other conditions can yield some results, their effectiveness is significantly heightened in warmer seasons when fish are more likely to be at the surface hunting for food. This option reflects the natural behavior of fish and the environmental conditions favorable for using popper baits effectively.
