Hula Popper

The use of the Hula popper requires patience. It needs to be fished slowly, around 10-20 seconds between jerks or twitching.

The Hula Popper should be fished very slowly and can be jerked to create a loud popping noise creating lots of vibration in the water or it can be twitched lightly and allow the tail to do the work. I use both methods depending on the water condition and what the bass are keying on. When starting out, I will run the popper close to the bank and other cover.

If the water is clear I will twitch it lightly to allow the flash of the skirt and movement of the lure to do all the work. If the water is darker I give it the harder jerk to illicit the loud popping noise and create more vibration so fish can home in on the bait in the darker water.
