Bassday Crystal Popper Lure

The manufacturing of small size lures for Ultra Light Rock Fishing, or LRF is a finesse process, with great room for potential errors in their design. It is widely accepted that the design and production of such lures is a rather difficult task in this industry. So when it comes down to tiny and specialized baits, such as a floating Popper, even the slightest error in the implementation process, can seriously impede the effectiveness of the lure.

With the Crystal Popper lure, Bassday aims to design an offspring, during the very first stages of its life, when it is still semi transparent and represents a delicious bite in the food chain of bigger predators. Hence, the name «Crystal» became the inevitable option for this Popper series for Bassday. They are available either in 3 cm long and 2.3 gr heavy for Ultra Light Rock Fishing, or in 5.5 cm long and 5.3 gr heavy for Light Rock Fishing. The attention to detail and the molding process set these lures apart from mass production. Bassday has really excelled in this field.

We put these lures into testing and could not, but admire the mechanics behind them. Such a small piece of plastic and metal, combined into one completed lure, that pops on the water surface in a natural and convincing way. Even the slightest jerk from the tip of our rod transforms into a rather intensive splashing effect, coming from such a small body. The Bassday Crystal Popper will become an ideal bait for Saddled Seabreams, Horse Mackerel and Gilthead Seabream, when those species feed on the surface. Explore the potential of the Crystal Popper with sharp, repetitive jerks, or with Walk the Dog retrieves.

It is also imperative to state the Bassday Crystal Minnow, because of the engineering behind them, are floating lures, but you let them loose they sink. This feature adds extra points to our retrieving strategy. Let them sink a little, retrieve fast and when they have entered your field of vision, switch to Popping. In short pauses, this masterpiece of a lure by Bassday, will sink and even from underneath the surface, will produce powerful strikes. If on the other hand you employ a slow and steady retrieve on the surface, the Crystal Minnow will leave behind it a trail of bubbles, that do not let it pass unnoticed.

Our verdict stands: the Bassday Crystal Popper is one of the best Micro-Poppers in the market.
