Popper Fishing Lure 75mm (2.95 in) / ~9g (0.32 oz)

Designed for topwater fishing, with a final assembled weight between 8.5 g and 9.5 g (~0.32 oz), it is balanced for accurate casting and lively surface action. The concave face generates splashes and popping sounds that trigger aggressive strikes from surface-feeding predators.

It is optimized for use with #6 treble hooks and tuned for reliable floating popper behavior.

Model & Assembly Note:
The lure is modeled as a single solid piece. For easier printing and to allow placement of wires and ballast, it is recommended to split the model longitudinally in your slicer and use 2x printed dowel pins to align and join the halves after printing/assembly. (Bambu Lab 3MF file is already set up this way.)
