What is the difference between a minnow, a crankbait and a popper?
Short answer
All three are hard baits and none of them shares a mould. A minnow is a slender bait that usually floats or suspends; a crankbait has a bill that makes it dive to a set depth; a popper has a cupped face and does not dive at all.
In detail
Commercially the difference is that each is a separate tooling, so 'hard lure' in an enquiry commits to nothing.
