Poppers can be twitched sharply to make popping sounds and bubbles. But a gentle twitch or a slight pull that just ripples the surface often works better. Fishermen commonly make the mistake of pulling the popper too far. In most cases, use the shortest tug that still makes the lure pop. Each twitch or pop is usually followed by a pause. But a fast popping retrieve, without pauses, sometimes works better for bass, pike and muskies. 1, record 5, English, - twitch
