Rebel Bighopper 1.75" Fire Tiger
The Rebel Bighopper 1.75" Fire Tiger is a versatile hard bait designed for anglers targeting panfish and bass in ponds and streams. This compact lure mimics the natural movement and appearance of grasshoppers and crickets, making it effective across multiple seasons. At just 1.75 inches, the Bighopper works equally well as a topwater lure for surface strikes or as a shallow crankbait for subsurface presentations—giving you flexibility to match the conditions and feeding behavior you're seeing on the water.
The Fire Tiger color pattern is a proven fish-getter that combines contrast and visibility in a wide range of water clarity. Whether you're working edge cover, casting into grass beds, or working current breaks, the Bighopper's realistic profile and responsive action trigger bites from fish that are keyed in on insect prey. This is the kind of lure that earns its place in a serious panfish or small bass box.
Rebel's reputation for casting distance and durability is built into every lure they make, and the Bighopper is no exception. If you fish creeks, ponds, or shallow structure regularly, this size and style has earned its spot in tackle boxes for good reason.
