Topwater Fishing Lures

Duo Realis Popper 64 — Precision Topwater for Bass

The Duo Realis Popper 64 is a 64mm floating topwater built to do two things exceptionally well: spit and walk. The concave cupped mouth throws a sharp, audible pop with a burst of water and bubbles on every twitch — then, with a subtle change in cadence, transitions seamlessly into a tight walk-the-dog action. One lure, two proven topwater presentations.

A built-in weight-transfer system shifts mass on the cast for extended distance and pinpoint accuracy around docks, laydowns, and grass edges. Finished in lifelike DUO patterns and armed with premium treble hooks, the Popper 64 is a compact but capable surface weapon when bass are keyed on small baitfish.

Best For

• Techniques: Popping, walk-the-dog, topwater finesse, surface twitching
• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass
• Use Cases: Clear-water finesse, pressured fish, small baitfish imitation, dock and cover fishing

Tackle Express Tips:

• Tie straight to the lure with braid or monofilament, a snap will impede the action
• Wait a split second between pops, most people pop it too fast.  After several pops, give it a longer pause.
• For larger fish, change the treble hooks out to a 2X.  It won't affect the action and your hooks won't bend out

The Evergreen Combat Rat offers a larger, lifelike presence with realistic movement and unique noise that will entice fish to bite. Meticulously designed, this lure is an elevated option for modern-day anglers, with a keeled design for improved body stabilization and a natural swimming motion. Its wake and vibration are highly attractive to predators, and the stainless-steel core adds a distinctive one-knocking sound that consistently triggers fish.

Pros:

• Large disturbance on water to bring fish from distance
• Superior action
• Strong front bill to move lots of water
• Internal knocker to attract fish
• Wire keeper to hold tail securely

The tail keeper wire securely holds the rat's PVC tail in place and allows for easy replacement when needed, making it a highly usable tool for anglers looking to improve their game and catch their personal best.

The Evergreen International OB-68 is Morizo Shimizu's secret popper, and it's about to be yours. The OB-68 is a culmination of all the skill and expertise that Shimizu expects from his popper, and Shimizu reaches for it not because he wants to fish on a topwater bait, but because the fish only respond to a topwater bait. The body, which is designed with its tail flipped up, reduces air resistance, cuts through head winds, and casts long distances to search a wider area. It has increased control due to better weight distribution and body balance. Furthermore, the three fish-appealing features that Shimizu seeks from a popper spit, bubble and pop are all achieved at a higher level.

With a body balance that responds sensitively to rod work, it can handle with ease a variety of challenges, from slow action by standing trees or rocks, replicating high-speed action of a bait chased by backwaters, and turning action within a narrow traveling range to high-speed twitches. Hybrid rattles in four different materials tungsten, brass, steel and glass produce sounds in different frequencies, giving you a wider appeal to fish under various conditions. Pick the best spray, bubble, action, pop or rattle sound that best suits the conditions of the day to build your most effective game plan. Pretty soon you'll be calling Evergreen International's OB-68 your secret popper.

The Evergreen JT Topwater Bait delivers a fleeing baitfish action that is awesome around pressured and weary fish. Completely silent, the Evergreen JT Topwater Bait is inspired from the balsa topwater baits that were a staple throughout the early years of competitive bass fishing.

Internally, the Evergreen JT is built with a fixed weighting system, it won't move,  which extends casting distance and decreases wobble, so the trebles remain straight and ready for strikes. Offered in a number of colors, the Evergreen JT delivers a killer topwater presentation that excels on pressured waters.

Its well-balanced design also allows for quick, consecutive turns without jumping out of the water, mimicking the movement of distressed baitfish being chased by a bass. The feather hooks on the tail entice light bites from fish unable to breach the water's surface, while also adding sharpness to the bait's movements.
