Product Information
Full details
The PikePro Bait Popper Stops (Q153) are essential accessories for predatory anglers who frequently switch between sinking and buoyant bait presentations. Designed for efficiency, these stops allow you to add or remove Bait Poppers from your fishing traces without the need to dismantle or replace your entire rig. While they provide exceptional convenience for quick bait changes on the bank, they are specifically engineered for the PikePro system and may not offer the same compatibility with non-standard trace materials or hardware.

FAQs
Can I reuse the Bait Popper Stops?
Yes, they are designed to be durable and can be used multiple times provided the plastic integrity remains intact.
Do these stops affect the way the bait moves in the water?
No, their low-profile, lightweight design ensures they do not significantly impact the natural movement of your bait.
What trace materials work best with these stops?
They are designed to work optimally with standard PikePro wire traces; avoid using them on extremely thick fluorocarbon or heavy-duty swivels.
Will these break in freezing temperatures?
The high-quality moulded plastic is designed for durability, but handle them with extra care in extreme sub-zero conditions to avoid stress fractures.
How many stops should I keep in my tackle box?
It is recommended to keep a small supply, as they are small components that can easily be misplaced during a busy day of fishing.
Troubleshooting
Stop slides too easily on the wire trace
Check if the wire gauge being used is too thin for the internal tension of the stop; ensure you are using the appropriate diameter trace wire recommended by PikePro.
Difficulty removing the stop from the trace
Apply a small amount of warm water or lubricant to the area to help the plastic flex more easily during removal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces time spent changing rigs on the bank
- Sturdy moulded plastic ensures long-term durability
- Compact design minimizes weight and bulk on the trace
- Allows for instantaneous switching between sinking and buoyant baits
Cons
- Specific to the PikePro system and trace standards
- Small parts can be difficult to manage in low light or cold conditions
- Not intended for use with extremely heavy-duty or non-standard wire gauges
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these stops, simply thread the stop onto your trace material before attaching your hook or swivel. Once in position, the stop provides a secure anchor point for your Bait Popper. To maximize their lifespan, ensure they are not forced onto wires that exceed the recommended thickness, as this can weaken the moulded plastic over time. After every fishing trip, rinse the stops in fresh water to remove any lake silt or salt residue, especially if you have been fishing in brackish or tidal waters. Store them in a dry, cool place inside your tackle box to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle.
