Which fish are caught primarily on poppers?
Predators of our most indifferent to Popper perch, especially when he sticks to the schooling of the method of hunting. Moreover, Popper is sometimes possible to 'start a' passive bass, which show no sign of interest in other baits, but suddenly 'wake up' when the next recruitment is heard gurgling. In second place (and with a very small margin) - pike. Popper very good 'collects' the pike in the ponds, peat bogs and grassy bays of reservoirs. Chub on poppers fished away on everywhere and always. But if at least one chub show interest to Popper, others are unlikely to quietly pass. Asp and poppers - the concept of compatible, but only in part: all the same asp bowl catch on more long-range bait. I've several times to catch on poppers rudd, ide and perch. Perhaps because of these cases, after some time be able to build a system, but for now they are rather similar to the set of exceptions.
Floating and sinking - which is better?

Most poppers - floating. And it is quite logical for the pure surface lures. But there is also emphasized sinking - for example, Creek Chub. The latter are more long-range - the difference in the casting can be up to twenty meters. Therefore, sinking poppers fully justified in finding fish (mostly - the schooling bass) in a homogeneous aqueous space. On the other hand, the wiring sinking poppers necessarily be 'aggressive', ie the speed with minimal pauses between pulls. And this is not always to the liking of the fish. Therefore, in cases where casting distance is not of paramount importance, it is better to opt for floating popper.
Is there any sense in a very small and very large Popper?
Very small mass-produced Poppers unknown to me. At least they've not come across to me. Not surprisingly, I did for fun a few pieces myself - length of approximately 3 cm and weighing approximately 2 grams and caught them on a total of about a dozen 'tails' obscene size - perch weighing up to 50 g and schuryat - up to 200 g . why, and came to the conclusion that the work further in this direction does not make sense. So that the size of Popper should start with about five inches, and weight - grams to four. At this popper is normally caught bass weighing a minimum of three hundred grams and pike - to 'dvushnika'. It is worth noting that we are talking now of a purely spinning popper. They should not be confused with fly fishing, which weigh almost nothing. Just a precedent, when the author of Popper's magazine 'Fisher-Elite' not felt the difference between one and other, and nothing good had not happened ... On the other extreme, especially large poppers can be a very promising theme. When the weight of Popper passes for 40 grams, it's get something close to that jerk-Bayt. Tackle that is quite obvious, for fishing with lures such suit is not any better, if it's multovy option. I myself have a very large poppers fished a little, but the results are encouraging. Somehow managed to catch five pike, all sizes - from polugora and above, and to the point where clearly dominated by 'laces' up to a pound. Heard and the successful application of large poppers at night fishing for catfish on the Volga and Don. Catfish, however, was small in size - up to twelve pounds, but the information is still an interesting and credible.
Color - great if its value?
It seems that without the issue by no means do! Perhaps you remember the time of the video on the Popper, where I won a little color bait. This is when the pike repeatedly rushed to various poppers, but caught on very specific. So, if this was done only in order to revive the small-screen action, and nothing more. Popper sees the fish mostly from the bottom, and the 'backlit' the light of his painting, and in general, and even more so - in detail, masked. Because we are the color of Popper have to pay even less attention than the color of the wobbler or 'decks'. If something is important and so is the color of the front surface of Popper. It is no coincidence that it is most often painted in bright red colors - so we can better see the popper on the water during the posting. If your Popper frontal surface suddenly differs in color from this accepted standard, it may be worth embellishing. For this purpose, will fit and nail polish, it's better with a fluorescent effect.
