Halco – Roosta Popper 160 

The Roosta Popper 160 is designed and build to get the maximum noise and splash out of a medium-sized popper while retaining superior casting capability, excellent strength and high durability.

Excessive effort is not required when working this popper. For best results point the rod tip at the lure and sweep the rod down 50–60 degrees, allow the lure to pause momentarily, wind in any slack line and repeat at irregular intervals.

The highly distinctive head shape of the Roosta 160 provides a long and extremely noisy bubble trail by alloying the cavitation bubbles and the subsequent noise to escape via the popper’s contoured cup sides.

Techniques of Fishing:

1. Popping Action: Cast the popper and retrieve it with a rhythmic "pop" to create surface disturbance. This imitates a wounded or fleeing baitfish, attracting predatory fish.

2. Varied Retrieval Speeds: Experiment with different retrieval speeds to find what triggers strikes. Some fish prefer a slower, steady retrieve, while others may respond to a faster, erratic retrieve.

3. Pause and Twitch: After a series of pops, pause the retrieve and give the popper a subtle twitch. This mimics a struggling or injured prey, enticing strikes from nearby fish.

4. Target Structure: Cast around structures like rocks, reefs, and vegetation where predatory fish often lurk. Work the popper near these areas to increase your chances of attracting bites.

5. Adjust for Conditions: Adapt your technique based on weather and water conditions, a subtle approach may be effective, while rougher waters might require more aggressive popping to grab the attention of fish.
