Gear Review: Biovex Face 70 Popper

When fishing pressure is intense, reducing size and going topside can be the right call.

What is it?

Biovex Face 70 Popper

What does it do?

Topwater popper that also walks side to side.

What sets it apart?

It’s a finesse topwater that calls up big bites. Like many Japanese lures, the Face 70 Popper is covered with innovation, and it works as advertised. The lure was designed to catch fish on the heavily pressured waters in Japan, and the attention to detail is what sets it apart. 2.8 inches in length, weighs 1/4 ounces and is available in six colors.

How do I use it?

The best way to take advantage of this thing is to use it during optimal conditions, such as darker skies and adjacent to weeds. However, this can also be used to catch schooling bass that are suspended over deeper water as it mimicks an injured or dying shad or baitfish. It can be worked as popper, or it does walk side to side pretty easily as well.

How much?

Editor insight:

Finesse and topwater seem like contradictory terms, but in a day and age where bigger often seems better, going with a smaller presentation that has a more subtle approach is a good idea. This bait is small, but it conjures up big results, especially in pressured waters.
