Zell Rowland, a bass fishing legend who competed in American tournaments in the mid-1980s, and HMKL CEO Izumi , who moved from Japan to the US around the same time and competed in tournaments, brought about the K-0 Popper.
The most important element that Roland wanted in a popper was splash, and ideally a front splash that would send lots of water droplets flying forward. To achieve this, he modified all of his poppers, and the POP-R Izumi version was born in response to a request for tuning to further improve performance.
This Izumi version was even a secret lure among top pros for a time.
The K-0 Popper has inherited the performance of this historic popper and is now mass-produced. The K-0 Popper, with its deep cup and sharp edge mouth shape, can generate a high front splash and a pop sound without time lag with simple operation by keeping the popper in a horizontal position when stationary.
The K-0 Popper is attractive in every respect, from its splash performance, popping sound, size, and the history behind its creation, and we have decided to release it in NaughtyBait's original colors.
The color goes from white on the back to clear on the belly, making it less likely to put pressure on bass . The natural shell plate inside attracts bass with its flashing effect even when paused.
