Fished poppers with teasers for years. Work day and night.
daytime , lots of splashing , short pops , sometimes big tumbly pops , etc. Big trick is don't spaz out at the first hit and jerk it out of the fishes strike zone. Fish hits and misses , either stop and start again slow or just keep up the pace like you were before it struck. I see tons of people get so excited they jerk it hard and pull it so far from the attacking fish in one pop the fish loses site of it.
nighttime I like atoms cause they sink and i let them sink just below the surface then a slow drag or weak pop to just get them to break the surface , no big splash , just like a fish coming up to suck air at the surface.
anyway , if you learn how to work them , poppers are very versatile , day or night. I seldom use one without a teaser. At night I use a high contrast teaser. In the daylight , I switch around between high contrast and graded colors.
