Strike King Bitsy Splash Topwater Popper 2" 3/16 oz

Strike King Bitsy Splash Finesse Topwater Popper

The Strike King Bitsy Splash puts popping, spitting, chugging, and walking action into a 2-inch floating bait. It offers a smaller-profile alternative to the KVD Splash when fish are feeding on small forage or you're looking to downsize your surface presentation.

At 3/16 ounce, this compact popper pairs with tackle rated for lighter lures. A feathered rear treble hook, 3D eyes, and detailed baitfish finishes complete the design for freshwater bass, panfish, and other predators in ponds, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.

How to Fish It

Use a rod rated to cast a 3/16-ounce lure and start with short, controlled casts near open cover edges. Let the bait settle, then give it a small rod-tip pull and pause. Gentle movements suit its compact size; vary the pull to change the spit or chug without dragging the bait continuously.

Try single pops with longer pauses around a specific target, or a repeating pop-pause rhythm to cover water. To walk the lure, use short twitches with a little slack after each movement so it can swing side to side. Keep the exposed hooks away from thick surface grass and branches.

Watch the lure through each pause. When a fish strikes, wait until you feel its weight before reeling down and sweeping into the hookset. If it misses, pause and restart with a light twitch. Maintain steady pressure rather than snapping hard against the treble hooks.

Care and Storage

Remove grass and debris from the hooks while fishing. Inspect hook points, split rings, and your knot after fish or cover contact. Let the lure and feather dressing dry before storage, and protect the hooks during transport.
