For a long time , all i used was the blue/white and yelow/orange Atom Poppers. Color definitely matters cause you could throw a blue/white one for an hour and get nothing then switch to yellow/orange and start hitting them every cast. Could also work the other way where blue and white was hot that day. I have also seen times when no color will get them What they would hit was shiny silver like a creek chub popper.
Anyway , I still carry the two colors of Atoms , all white , black and shiny silver.
I have caught so many fish on poppers with a black and white teaser at night that I have to laugh at people who say poppers only work at night time.
I especially like the atoms cause they would sink. You can always keep a slightly sinking one on top but you can't get a floating one down. There are times when the surface pop works well but there are also times when you want it to sink about 1 foot below the surface then come up and break the surface with a splahs. For some reaon i call that "twanging" them instead of popping them (just a term that stuck way bacjk when) . If you've ever done it , you would understand why i call it twanging them.
I once wrote an article about popping up fish. If i can find it I'll repost it here.
