Atom poppers. Blue and white and yellow and orange. I stocked up on plenty when Bob Pond still owned the place in south attleboro.

There have been times when a very shiny silver one , like a creek chub brand popper has worked over the atoms but its very rare that you can't get a bass or blue to hit an Atom if you play with the presentation.

Why an Atom? I prefer the slight sink they have versus a true floater like a wooden one. Because it will sink slowly if given a second or two stopped , the possibilities for working it are much more numerous than one that always floats. Its easy to keep on top if you want by simply working it but the ability to slowly sink adds some advantages IMO.

At night time , if you let it sink and just barely break the surface with it , not a pop , more of a barely break the surface (oh , there is also a teaser above it) , its a great nightime striper lure too.
