DEVAUX Flies Popper Pop 02

Explosive surface strikes

Designed to work the surface, they trigger violent and often spectacular strikes, much appreciated by anglers seeking action and thrills.

• Their specific head, hollow or domed depending on the model, generates a distinctive noise with each retrieve. This "pop", accompanied by splashes and bubbles, creates a sound and visual disturbance capable of triggering the predatory instinct, even in less active fish. By displacing a significant volume of water, these flies attract attention from a distance and provoke reflex strikes.
• Versatile, Popper flies can be used in both freshwater and saltwater. They are particularly effective on pike, bass and perch, but also find their place against certain marine or tropical predators such as baby tarpon or jack. Their compact silhouette, combined with mobile materials, enhances their visibility and accentuates the effect of a struggling prey at the surface.
• They are particularly suited to summer fishing, slow-moving areas, cluttered margins, and active feeding situations. Their fast, rhythmic retrieve allows effective coverage of water while locating aggressive fish.
• Bright colours such as chartreuse, yellow, white, red or black are often favoured to enhance visibility. Tied on robust hooks, these flies ensure strength and reliability against repeated strikes.
• Popper flies thus embody a visual and explosive approach to predator fishing, ideal for those seeking intense fights and spectacular surface strikes.
