Rebel Small Pop-R 1/8 Baby Bass
The Rebel Small Pop-R 1/8 Baby Bass is a compact topwater hard bait built for anglers targeting bass, panfish, and other gamefish in creeks, small streams, and shallow water. What makes this lure legendary in the topwater arsenal is its responsiveness to rod angle—angle your rod tip high for one sound and action profile, then drop it toward the water to unlock a completely different presentation. That versatility means you're not just casting and cranking; you're actively controlling the bait's behavior to match what the fish are responding to on any given day.
At 1/8 ounce, the Small Pop-R is built for situations where bigger baits spook wary fish or when you're working tight cover and need a bait that doesn't disturb the water column too aggressively. The small profile is also ideal for panfish and smaller bass, making it a smart choice for spring spawning grounds, residential ponds, and creek systems where finesse beats flash. Its hard plastic construction means you get consistent action cast after cast and durability that easily outlasts soft plastics.
This is a working lure, not a novelty—anglers keep it in their box because it produces. The two distinct sound signatures and actions give you real problem-solving options when fish are selective, and topwater bites on a Pop-R are the kind of explosive strikes that remind you why you fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish will the Small Pop-R catch?
The Small Pop-R is designed to catch bass and panfish, as well as other gamefish species that respond to topwater presentations. Its compact size makes it especially effective for smaller bass and panfish in creeks and shallow water.
How do you fish the Rebel Small Pop-R?
The Pop-R produces two distinctly different sounds and actions depending on rod tip position. Hold your rod tip high for one presentation, then lower it toward the water surface to change the bait's action and sound signature. This flexibility allows you to adapt your retrieve to match what the fish are responding to.
What size water is this lure best suited for?
The 1/8 oz Small Pop-R is ideal for creeks, small streams, residential ponds, and shallow water situations where a compact bait is less likely to spook wary fish and easier to maneuver through tight cover.
