The Gibbs All time favorite and finished in a traditional Popper fashion. The key here is to vary the speed, even letting it come to a rest on occasion. Impart only enough rod tip action to splash the water and create the audible "gurgle." The most common error in fishing Poppers is to overdue the rod action. Only a twitch is needed, as sound will travel under water. One of the most popular top-water plugs with Northeast anglers, the GIBBS Polaris Popper offers a larger profile than most other poppers. With the wide cupped mouth, the GIBBS Polaris "spits" and "pops" with a sharp, upward snap of the rod tip. Effective when finger mullet are present in the water, the GIBBS Polaris mimics the surface commotion caused by "nervous" baitfish.
