Rapala Skitter Pop Elite 9.5cm 17g Gilded Hot Wahoo UV

Rapala Skitter Pop Elite — Loud Topwater Strikes on Demand

The tail-weighted Skitter Pop Elite delivers long, accurate casts and produces deep, resonant pops that draw aggressive surface strikes from bass, pike, and asp.

Premium Balsa Body for Versatile Presentations

Crafted from high-quality balsa wood, the Skitter Pop Elite responds instantly to rod-tip action. Work it with short twitches for subtle pops or aggressive sweeps for loud splashes—this popper adapts to how predators want it served.

Reinforced Construction Built to Last

Designed to handle hard-hitting freshwater and saltwater species, the reinforced body and VMC 7554 2X Black Nickel hooks withstand punishing strikes. The feathered tail treble adds lifelike movement and flash on the pause.
