How to work it
Cast the Roosta Popper 80 to structure, weed edges, or open water where kahawai hunt. Work it with a straight retrieve, varying rod-tip height to control splash and bubble output-higher angles produce aggressive pops, lower angles create subtle bloops.
The compact 80mm body and floating design keep it in the strike zone at the surface, making it ideal for light-tackle topwater fishing. Fish it day or night; the noise and commotion trigger aggressive strikes from feeding fish.
