Description
The PTO Dreadnought Popper, created by Mick Trompen, is a robust and aggressive foam popper designed for topwater bass action. The fly’s unique profile takes its name from the early Dreadnought-class battleships, symbolizing its ability to handle intense strikes and challenging fishing conditions.
Pro Tip
Use a “pop and pause” retrieve to create commotion and let the bass home in on the fly during the pause.
