    I am a forty plus, father of three, who only gets to fish two or three times a year. I get up early and/or go out just before sunset; and every time to through the .90 Plopper, I catch a solid 2-3lbs bass. No special tech, just the right bait at the time;and consistent solid results. I love this bait!

    YES! The Whopper Plopper is worth ALL of the hype Brotha! It is simple and easy to use and it's effectiveness is excellent!
    It is a very efficient lure, minimal effort maximum results! Made by one of my Favorite Hall of Fame Fisherman Larry Dahlberg.
    Short story: Me and a couple of my buddies were fishing at Elephant Butte Lake in New Mexico and they rarely fished before so I carefully selected a lure for them that would be easy to use and produce maximum fish effectiveness and efficiency.
    I was fishing over on one side of the rocks about a mile from them (we scattered to find the hot Bite) and I get a call from them saying they are catching them over where they are at; I thought they were playing a joke on me. They come get me from where I was and we drove back over to where they were fishing and I look in the cooler and there were 7 Stripped Bass (about a foot long a piece) in the cooler! All thanks to the Whopper Plopper! They Loved the lure too! That lure catches Fish! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU to Explore their different and unique characters colors and purchase a Whopper Plopper!

    These are a blast to use like a popper, making quick, sudden jerks and pausing. It's a good way to tear up some aggressive largemouth and smallmouth on the rivers, especially if they won't take a solid retrieve, but are actively feeding on baitfish on the surface!

    I wonder why the Whopper Plopper is such a big deal, as the original lure with the whole rotating tail is 80 years old, called the Mud Puppy. They have been Muskie baits since the inception of the lure. The Whopper Plopper concept was known to many people, it’s not a new lure. It’s also made in sizes that are copied by River to Sea.
    I wonder why the lures come sized in metric, could it be that the lure are made in China and like so much of all the big-name fishing tackle, or OEM tackle, it’s made in China.
    That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as your cell phones probably made in China, your television is made in China, too.

    What’s the best time to fish whopper plopper

    • @WaterandIceOutdoors
      @WaterandIceOutdoors  4 года назад +1

      Usually in the morning or evening when the sun is coming up or going down with calm water but it can work when there's a little chop on the water also. Thanks for watching!

    Fish that Whopper like you would a Spook ....Start ...stop slow retrieve even stop it.....when it stops it sinks the tail and wobbles alittle.....the bass will hammer it....fast retrieve also works ....great top water lure. I use 90 size Perch color and the big smallmouth bass kill it! I have 3or 4 go to bass lures this is one of them.

      Thanks

    • @WaterandIceOutdoors
      @WaterandIceOutdoors  5 лет назад

      Richard Keller The key with the spooks is to walk them over weed beds or weedlines. They are so loud they will call bass up from weeds even in 10-15 ft of water. Running them across points can be very productive as well

    Why do fish short strike lure and not attack it like a musky or pickeral dose

    • @WaterandIceOutdoors
      @WaterandIceOutdoors  5 лет назад

      Robert Robertson I personally haven’t had that problem with it. However it might be because it’s a fast moving lure and it’s more of a reaction strike than an “I’m going to eat this” strike. An idea for you if they are short striking it is to downsizing to a smaller plopper or smaller profile topwater lure.

      Terrance Melvin Popping frogs/topwater frogs are awesome lures. But it’s kind of comparing apples to oranges. Ploppers are more of an open water topwater where an frog can be fished in the open water it excels around slop, pads, and shoreline cover. I do love popping frogs though! Thanks for watching!
