Rapala Rapala® Skitter Pop™

The Rapala® Skitter Pop™ is the first all-topwater lure ever introduced by Rapala lures. Effective from day one, the Skitter Pop features a unique cupped plastic lip which works to create the best spitting action of any topwater lure on the market. The Skitter Pop can be fished using a variety of methods, whether you walk the dog or twitch it, the results are always bone crushing strikes from an aggressive surface feeding bass.

"I bought this lure a year or so ago because I didn't have a topwater lure. It has a good "pop" to it when worked right. I haven't caught any fish with it, but I have used lots of lures and haven't caught any fish with them either. I am sure I will eventually catch something with it."

"This lure was one of my first lure And I have caught many fish on it. I have the shad style cover with a orange belly. This lure works great post-spawn and when largemouths are spawning. It is also very durable. Overall a great product I would recommend it for anyone looking for a great top water lure."

"You want top water action then this is the lure for you. OMG, my friend introduced me to this lure this summer and it quickly became my favorite top water lure. Bass will come clean out of the water hitting this lure. You can litterly fish this any time during the day and get strikes. I'll give up 5 bass for every top water one I catch; its that exciting! I keep one tied to a rod at all times."

"Ok, like the second or third cast, 3lb bass, gotta love it. This has become my go-to lure for surface fishing when I want to see how active the bass are. So easy to work this thing, just let it sit a few seconds when it first hits the water, then slowly pop the retrieve. (with a pause here and there)"

"I would pick a rebel pop-r or xcalibur zell pop over this skitter pop. I may be a little picky but this lure isn't super durable either. The pant chips easily. The only positive I found was the back flashy feathered hook. The slower its fished the better."

"I have used this multiple times and caught at least 2 every time. I caught my personal best on this just tonight. It was 3.5 lbs but I don't have a boat and caught it from the bank so I'd say it's a pretty good catch. The bass is currently filleted up in my freezer :) GREAT LURE. I will never have my tackle box with less than 3 of these lures. My favorite is the frog color and the shad. I use size 7 shad and size 9 Frog"

"Just fished this lure on a Michigan lake, right off of the docks with many boats out on the water, kicking up dirt and making waves. I have never had a better top water experience, especcially not in less than perfect conditions. The only thing that takes getting used to is the hookset, but that is the case with all topwater lures. As long as you wait at least a second before setting you will be fine."

"I have been using these for years and they still do not disappoint! They are one of the best topwaters that I have in my arsenal!
More colours might be nice, but that would probably only exite me, as the bass seem to hit any colour just as hard!"

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well
Disadvantages: Durability
"Lure is one of the best producing poppers I've ever used in over 50 years of primarily bass fishing. Saltwater fish such as large snook love it also but the eye needs to extend further into the lure and/or be anchored in some way...have lost more than one large snook due to the eye pulling out of the lure..all you have left is the o-ring, eye, and clear popper. Hooks could be more durable but this can be easily remedied by replacing them with ones of higher quality. Wouldn't mind paying more for a sturdier model with better quality hooks. Colors are great as is the action."

"i purchased this lure last year, and was really amazed at the results from using this lure. no matter what time of day or night this lure will consistantly catch fish. i would cast the lure out and let it sit for a minute or so, then i would just give it a few twitches then let it sit again for about 20 seconds or so, then just keep repeating the process. usually a bass would explode on it while it justs sits there. excellent lure. i would highly recommend this lure to anyone who loves to catch bass."

"I've caught largemouth big and small with this lure and even a couple of nice pickerel. It works very well along weed lines, submerged trees and grass. The treble hooks are sticky and put fish at the end of the line. Great lure."

"Used this lure last fall, caught a few here and there. Started to use it this spring after the bass spawn and this is a pretty good lure for that time frame. Caught numerous bass during those tough spring days. So i thought about trying it at night....turns out its awesome at night to, caught a 4 lber and a 2 lber useing the 06 color on the first night!"
