Kingdom GT Smokebomb Large Topwater Popper
Kingdom GT Smokebomb Large Topwater Popper
The Smokebomb is a large-profile topwater popper built with a through-wire frame and a wide concave face that throws serious spray on every pull. It comes in 160mm/55g and 180mm/78g sizes, both floating, so it sits high and stays visible even in chop or low light.
This is an oversized bait, originally designed for saltwater gamefish, but the loud pop and big splash pattern make it a solid option for anglers chasing giant bass in open water on reservoirs and big lakes. It shines when bass are keyed on large baitfish and you need a topwater that pushes water and gets attention from a distance.

How to fish it
- Cast to open flats, points, or over suspended baitfish and let the popper sit until the rings fade
- Snap the rod tip down sharply to make it chug and throw spray, then pause to let it sit
- Work it with a walk-the-dog sweep for a wider, slower presentation between pops
- Slow the retrieat near cover or drop-offs since most strikes come during the pause
Frequently asked
Yes, it is an oversized bait built for saltwater gamefish. It works best for anglers targeting giant bass in open water rather than everyday bass fishing.
Smokebomb's translucent blue-and-silver pattern reads well in clear to lightly stained water where flash and profile matter more than solid color contrast.
A heavy-action rod paired with 40-65lb braid gives you the backbone to work the popper and handle its weight and hook size.
Early morning or low-light periods during summer and fall, when big bass are actively feeding on large baitfish near the surface.
