Rebel Lures Pop-R Topwater Popper – Silver Shad (1/4 oz) | Pro Pop-R Plus

Legendary surface action that sparks strikes

The Rebel Pop-R is a legendary topwater lure designed to spark surface strikes with a quick pop or a slow chug. Built with a feathered back treble hook, a diagonal scale pattern, and four productive color patterns, this lure pairs timeless action with modern color technology. While many imitators exist, the original Pop-R design remains a staple for anglers pursuing bass on calm mornings and in choppy midday water.

In the water, the Pop-R produces a distinctive surface commotion: a sharp splash, a rising bubble, and a subtle wake that mimics a fleeing shad. Anglers describe the sensation of a tug on the line when the lure pauses, then erupts with a confident strike. The combination of speed and cadence—whether you twitch it fast or work it slowly—gives you flexible options for different fish moods and conditions across the season.

• Pair with a steady reel and occasional pauses to emulate a wounded shad and trigger instinctive bites
