About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga Frother 170F is a specialized surface popper designed to entice fish by creating a fine, dense bubble trail and an enticing pop sound. Its cup shape is deeper on top for better bubble creation and shallower underneath to avoid diving too deep, keeping the lure just below the surface during retrieve. Weight is maximized for casting distance and stability in crosswinds, while the vertical floating posture ensures responsive action on the first jerk.
