Kingdom GT Topwater Popper Hard Bait 160mm 180mm
Kingdom GT Topwater Popper Hard Bait 160mm 180mm
The Kingdom GT is an oversized topwater popper built with a wide concave face that throws a heavy spray and a deep chugging pop on every rod snap. At 160mm/60g and 180mm/85g it is bigger than a typical bass popper, designed to push serious water and get noticed from a distance.
Because of its size and weight, it is best matched to big fish situations rather than everyday bass ponds. Anglers chasing giant largemouth around open water baitfish schools, or crossing over to pike, muskie, and striped bass, will get the most out of its loud surface commotion and long casting distance.

How to fish it
- Cast past visible baitfish or surface activity and let the popper sit until rings settle
- Snap the rod tip down sharply to force a loud pop and throw spray, then pause
- Vary pause length; longer pauses often trigger reaction strikes from big fish holding below
- Set the hook on a solid pull, not on the sight of the strike, since large predators often miss the first pass
Frequently asked
Yes, it is oversized for most bass water. It works best for trophy-class largemouth in open lakes or reservoirs, or as a crossover lure for pike, muskie, and striped bass.
A heavy or extra-heavy rod with 50 to 80 lb braid is recommended given the weight and the size of fish it is meant to draw strikes from.
The 160mm/60g casts easier and suits most open-water topwater work. The 180mm/85g throws more water and is better for calling fish from a distance or in rougher surface conditions.
Early morning or low light periods when big predators are actively feeding on the surface, especially around visible baitfish schools.
