“A popper is at times have an explosive power that can overwhelm other baits.” Morizo Shimizu, who takes part in numerous fishing battles, has experienced the devastating power of the popper more than he would like to. The Ever Green OB-68 is a culmination of all the skill and expertise that Shimizu expects from his popper. Shimizu uses this popper not because he wants to fish on a topwater bait, but because the fish only responds to a topwater bait. And this lure does the job of “conquering the surface pattern.” The body, which is designed with its tail flipped up, reduces air resistance, cuts through head winds, and casts long distances to search a wider area. It has increased control due to better weight distribution and body balance. Anglers can accurately approach a spot targeted from afar. Furthermore, the three fish-appealing features that Shimizu seeks from a popper — spit, bubble and pop — are all achieved at a higher level.
