Pretty sure they don't make them anymore.

Try a different popper, like a Chug Bug, I'm sure it will catch. :)

i found out they are not in production anymore. guess Hank was doing a rerun show. looks like i'll have to make my own.

For what it's worth, I have a couple in frog.  Never caught anything on them...(Maybe I should fish them some time)

They have been out of production for several years, but occasionally you can find them on Ebay.  If you have a chance to pick one up go for it.  It continues to be my favorite popper.

Check out the Rapala Skitter Pop. They have a really similar look except they are made of balsa instead of plastic. I've caught tons of fish on my skitter pops and one of the only wooden Rapala baits I have yet to break  ;D.

The Skitter Pop does have a similar appearance, but that's where the similarity ends.

They are hard to find. I had found a couple sites, but this was the only one I saved.

Type frenzy popper in their lure search and click on the one you want to see. Hope this helps.

Two entirely different baits, the Frenzy is one you can wtd, chug, skip...  The Frenzy is also a much more subtle sounding bait.

Ebay has a bunch of them for sale from between $7 and $20. I don' t think I would spend that much on a berkley hardbait.

My catch rate seems to be the same with any popper, I love them. I liked my skitter pop until i had a bluefish bite it almost in half, last one I owned, haven't seen them on sale lol. Mirror lure pappa dog pops and walks, great bait. caught a 10 ponder on a blaze popper a couple of weeks ago.

My #1, from cuda to bass and eveything in between, ebay 3 for 6 bux.....still catching fish, haven't gotten around to changing the rear treb.

I have no problem walking the dog, or chugging a skitter pop. I wouldn't skip it because I'd be afraid to break it. As for being more subtle, wouldn't a bait with no rattles and very light twitches be pretty subtle?  :-?

Let me say it this way then, since we like to split hairs...  The Skitter pop moves more water with the cup of its face than does the Frenzy.  Also, I've got a few Skitter Pops and not one walks even remotely close to what the Frenzy does.  Lastly, I'm not talking about skipping as in skipping docks, or skipping the bait across the surface as you cast; the Frenzy will skip forward, much like you'd see a torpedo to in terms of water displacement, without diving and chugging.
