Poppers

S-L-O-W is the answer when working poppers for bass, in fact, try this technique -- it has worked wonders for me over the years ...

... pop and then let the rings settle, pop and then let the rings settle, pop and let the rings settle, pop-pop and let the rings settle, pop ...

You get the idea, this was a technique I learned from an old timer on the Cape back in the 70s and it rarely fails. If you switch it up and speed up the retrieve, then slow it down again and let the rings settle, this at times will score the larger bass. But it also varies according to water conditions, but again, the slower method has always been best.

Good luck.
