When I pond fish, it always seems like I can get a bass strike when I cast near ducks or geese. It seems the bass follow them while the birds are disturbing the lake bottom. That pollen creates shade and good bites.
When the babies are swimming... Sometimes they get eaten lol. I have seen baby mallard ducklings go bye bye and then the whole group of ducks and ducklings freak out lol!
you can try it! I believe you have found the short video of me doing it! I don't have a full video i don't believe because this old trick just is not worth the line twist. i even tried making few variations like double swivel, extended rear with treble hook and a willow blade (VMC Treble hook with a blade). it was fun for a bit, but i threw away too much line.
I feel you on the sleep regression buddy, my 4mo is in the middle of one now. My 2yo still has them from time to time but they are usually much shorter periods than when they are infants.
Cheap whopper plopper from walmart landed my PB at my local pond it was the yellowish one. Anyone looking to avoid line twist can work a swivel into the mix, not ideal but works if a favorite bait is not line friendly.
Cheap whopper plopper as in an official one from R2S? Because those are not usually cheap! Lol. But nice man. Congrats on the PB! Yeah the lighter they are, they seem to twist when reeled in too fast. I even tried double swivels 😂
No it was like 4 dollars and change and looks subpar to any R2S bait. I intended to fish it and re-paint it! but after pond pb idk maybe just grab another to paint
@@rawrfishing thanks for the tip, I like to reel it middle speed so it's not too fast for the fish and not to slow that they can watch it go right over them with no plop, what's your preference on how fast it should be reeled
hi old man. i love aldebaran bfs. I want to use 3-6gram lure with 4lb braid. playing at landbase saltwater. can you give the selection of the appropriate rod??
hello nephew! I think a L+ to ML would be great for you. Sounds like you need a longer rod for the shore stuff. I am not the expert in this area, but I was eyeing the TSURINOYA Long Casting Fishing Lure Rod HACKER Ⅱ for a while to see if it's worth BFS Folks time. Just haven't pulled the trigger. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804364677605.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.13.33003862ZCy6D2&pdp_npi=2%40dis%21USD%21US%20%24134.62%21US%20%24107.70%21%21%21%21%21%40210318c916709888085798736e8d25%2112000029583564417%21sh&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US
hehe that's a great question. But this was a little fun gem that was made BEFORE they dropped the size 60. Since then, no one really cared to solve this old thing. I might be able to create an idea.. but it may end up not floating. so it would be a straight retrieve type lure only. It will require some more wire bending. will kinda look like a buzz bait.. perhaps we can make a buzzbait :)
Sup Jimmy. It works👍. Must feel great catching bass on lures you made, looks like the one you made on a short video. Having a really hard time with baitcaster, practicing off deck into street lol, even switching hands having trouble? Gonna talk to docs when go.. How much does that plopper weigh? Should try pitching it to strike king or something? Might get rich🤣? Never know. Ty tc
It always feels great indeed. River 2 sea is the brand that makes the most popular whopper plopper and the smallest size is a 60 and its slightly larger than this weighing at 7 grams. This here is about 5 or so grams
I think if I am able to see you cast and your entire setup, I can give you pointers on using a bait caster. But right now, I can only suggest searching on RUclips for some tutorials. Too bad I don't have any :p
@@rawrfishing Ty I've been watching a bunch for beginners even. I'm afraid it's nerves in thumbs? Have nerve problems in fingertips among arms, legs feet ECT lol. Giving it a week without trying and see surgeon on 9th. See what happens. Glad to hear son getting back on routine. Just wait until terrible twos lol. Just enjoy it all good and bad🤙
oooz... thumb is definitely important for baitcasting as u have to stop the spool from spinning before the lure touches the water. else it would cause overruns and create backlashes/birdnests. Oh he's 2.5 with a lot of terrible challenges for my wife and I already. Working on some of them and hoping he will grow out of it soon as he is a smart kid. might be too smart for his age lol
It's also possible they are hitting the blade. But u can certainly do so with yours if u try to make one. I already repurposed it for something else that is super interesting ;)

That was a big bass that went for it three times
I think it was a tiny one. They are all small ones in this pond

You can get spinner forms that have a swivel built in. That would be perfect for that little plopper! How did you make it again?

@@rawrfishing fair enough. Line isn’t cheap enough for that

Yawn, he woke up an hour earlier this morning.... Can't wait for nap time today haha

@@mrpickles2170 oh? What exact brand? I wanna check it out ;)
@@rawrfishing it has the Ozark trail logo in the eye!
Thx mangz
The whopper plopper 60 is killer, I've caught a few bass over 3 on it
Its a great one
@@rawrfishing the only flaw with it is sometimes it will flip over even when there is nothing stuck in the propeller
@@woah52 yeah it's lighter than the other ones so if u reel too fast.. It may roll over
@@rawrfishing thanks for the tip, I like to reel it middle speed so it's not too fast for the fish and not to slow that they can watch it go right over them with no plop, what's your preference on how fast it should be reeled
@@woah52 yeah I do it pretty similar too. Just fast enough for it to plop and I may speed up here and there to get a reaction strike
Wow... that is small... 😍 WP a really effective big fish magnet😜
It sure is a fish magnet

@@rawrfishing thanks old man 😁😁. for the information.
Jim o the Dr Frankenstein of fishing 😂🤣
Lol. Can't take credit for this one here... But I might be the first to use the willow bladed treble hook on this. Wait for my next Franken lure
I tried the WP 60 in a few sessions. So far it only caught me green sunfish 😅
Let's have a green sunny tournament using whopper plopper only lol
Here in ca even on a 60 it’s normal to get up to 3 lb smallmouth and spotted bass, it’s amazing
@@dakotawashington6994 love the 60. It's small but loud enough to draw in the biggies
Can't a ball bearing swivel be used to help with the line twist? Or does it affect the swimming characteristic of the popper?
One is used. But not enough.
Use a snap with swivel to fix the line twist
Oh its on there. There's no preventing
@@rawrfishing lol good thing u dismantled the whole thing then 👍
@@justinchew7644 not the whole thing yet... Wait and see what I am doing ;)
How to eliminate the line twist? have tried tying 3-4 rolling swivel?

I love rooster tails they create line twist.. but I still fish them..
inline spinners are great! some do cause line twists. Wish more of them come with keel weight system so it doesn't spin all over the place
How about you try to make us one..
@@whispers_8444 it I can find parts sure! Been looking for some actually
Let’s go rawr
Thx mate! FYI my son name is Kaiden, assuming your name is pronounced the same way :P
Yes it is
@@caydenvickers4551 sweet
Rawr your the best
Put a swivel on the front of lure.
Two u mean? I aleady had one lol
I'll stick with Varivas and YGK braid.👍
High end stuff!
Maybe the treble hook is too big....downsize it a size.
It's also possible they are hitting the blade. But u can certainly do so with yours if u try to make one. I already repurposed it for something else that is super interesting ;)
First
w00t w00t!
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
🤔
give me real baitcasting😅
Can u elaborate?
my fishing rod is not adequate
@@lutfi7274 so go buy one that is! The fish don't wait! Get what you need and go catch some fish!
but i don't have much money
