Kingdom GT Topwater Popper Pencil Bait for Big Bass
The Kingdom GT is a large topwater pencil popper built with a heavy-duty body and a cupped or slashed face for surface commotion. Its oversized profile pushes real water and throws a wide splash pattern, making it a strong search bait when you need to cover open water fast and draw reaction strikes from a distance.
Worked with sharp rod snaps it walks and pops across the surface, mimicking a fleeing baitfish in distress. Because of its size and weight, it shines for trophy-class largemouth in big reservoirs and open bays, and for aggressive smallmouth chasing large forage in clear, deep lakes.

How to fish it
- Cast past visible baitfish activity or over open flats and let the lure sit until the rings settle.
- Use short, sharp downward rod snaps to make the lure walk and pop, pausing every few twitches.
- Fish it during low light, early morning, or dusk when bass are actively feeding near the surface.
- Slow the cadence in calm water and speed it up with more splash when there is wind or chop.
Frequently asked
It is a large profile bait best suited to bigger water and trophy-sized largemouth or smallmouth chasing large forage. In smaller ponds a downsized topwater will usually get more bites.
Choose brighter, higher-contrast finishes for stained water so bass can find it, and more natural, translucent patterns for clear water where fish get a longer look.
A medium-heavy to heavy fast-action rod with 40 to 65 pound braid handles the weight and hook sets well, and a monofilament or fluorocarbon leader helps in clear water.
Warm water months when bass are feeding aggressively near the surface, especially early morning and evening topwater windows, produce the most consistent results.
