Arbogast Hula Popper Leopard Frog 2.25-Inch – Topwater Lure

Overview

The Arbogast Hula Popper Leopard Frog, 2.25-inch, is a time-tested topwater lure designed to wake active fish and spark surface action. Its pulsating skirt keeps motion alive even during short pauses, helping it stand out on calm or rippled water.

For nearly seven decades, anglers have trusted the Hula Popper to trigger striking moments when other baits fall short. The concave mouth and cupped lip move water and create audible bloops that draw attention from bass, pike, and other surface-oriented predators.

Why it works

• Pulsating skirt creates lifelike motion that stays active between retrieves.
• The concave front mouth produces big, loud bloops that wake fish within listening distance.
• The cupped lip displaces water with each twitch, generating a pronounced surface wake.
• Ideal for fishing around submerged timber, weed beds, and grass cover where topwater action shines.
• Longstanding performer on bass, pike, and other gamefish in varied conditions.

How to fish the Leopard Frog Hula Popper

• Cast near cover such as submerged timber or weed edges, then use short, rhythmic pops.
• Pause briefly to let the skirt pulse and entice following fish before resuming the retrieve.
• Maintain light line tension to keep the lure riding on the surface and preserve action.
