Tsurinoya Ripple 70F Topwater Popper
Tsurinoya Ripple 70F Topwater Popper
The Ripple 70F is a 70mm, 12g popper built for topwater bass fishing. Its cupped face pushes water and throws a sharp spit on the retrieve, while the floating body sits high and ready between pops. The through-wire construction and dual treble hooks hold up to hard hooksets and thrashing fish.
This popper shines around docks, laydowns, and grass edges where bass are keyed on surface activity. Work it slow with long pauses for a subtle presence, or snap it fast for an aggressive walk-the-dog style chug. It casts well for its size, making it a solid pick for covering water early and late in the day.

How to fish it
- Cast past cover such as docks, grass lines, or laydowns and let the popper settle until rings fade.
- Twitch the rod tip sharply to make the cupped face spit water and create noise.
- Vary pause length between pops, longer pauses in calm water, shorter in choppy conditions.
- Watch for the strike during the pause and set the hook only once you feel weight.
Frequently asked
At 70mm and 12g it is a versatile size that works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass without being too bulky for average fish.
Lighter, more natural colors like the white/pearl shown here work best in clear water, while darker or chartreuse patterns show up better in stained conditions.
A medium-power spinning or baitcasting rod with 10-15 lb monofilament or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and hookset power.
Early morning, dusk, and overcast days are prime times when bass are feeding near the surface, especially around structure and grass edges.
