What is your favorite baitcaster brand?
It is weird because I got this lure and I caught some bass but it seems like it flips over or tilts when retrieveing even when I have a swivel barrel on how do I fix this
I'm n columbus myself man. Awesome to be getting advice from and Ohioan lol. Truly glad tho foreal foreal to see someone doing good.
Great vid man
I agree with Buzzbait with a Toad over a Whopper Plopper
Why such strong line? 50lb braid?! I trust what you say just curious why.
Last year I was using the lure and he smacked it with his tail and it just missed my head. Went right back and nailed him. Thank you for the tip
What size hooks , front n back ? I’ve caught a lot of fish on em
When throwing the follow up wacky do you throw back to where it but or where it got off?
Bro I have the 60 is that a newer one?
useing a bait caster if your lure it's the water hard you not feathering your thumb on the spool it's makes no matter what size lure I use it never makes a big splash it's caused by useing the breaks and not you thumb I never use the breaks when I learned to use a bait caster they didn't have breaks
If you can get a revenge plopper at anglers hang out
Haven't tried a buzzbait yet. When pre-spawn starts in April to early may I'll try a buzzbait. Top water is great for pre-spawn an spawn season
I've used whopper ploppers sadly no luck. I've even had the plopper lure imitate a minnow bait fish an no luck. When I use the kvd splash an fish the lure to imitate a bluegill bass crush the kvd splash
The whopper plopper i fpund at the edge of the potomac river and have been using is not like any of those. It has no moving tail. The tail is plastic strings stuff covering the 2 hooks…
Sadly I can't cast far only way I'm able to cast far is if the bait is 3/4 oz or heavier
Postspawn or malnourished fish?Them fish have no belly.Skinny fish.
Does anybody know the best color to use for northwest Florida bass?
Black loon 90 is the best
Many of my bites come when the bait hits the water. Rarely do they bite on the retrieve.
I throw it out there, and then let it sit a few secs, give it a twitch. Thats how to get them.
put fish in water anf tell your life after
"Good Morning Bass Fishin' FREAKS"
Yesssss🤣🤣😭💯💯💯🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
double o rings on the 90 drop the hooks lower that helps a lot
Do you have a recommendation on a brand to purchase. The River2Sea ones are pretty pricey, and as new to bass fishing was hoping there might be another brand that you would recommend. Great video. I really enjoyed how you showed the miss, followed by the hit on the worm in a non-edited take. Really speaks to your experience when you can give advice and then demonstrate it.
Any tips on not going to er trying to unhooking these? Just spent a couple hrs there, I was even fast tracked
This baits effectiveness is outlived. To many of them out now and fish seem to knowledgeable of it. Great for ponds and unpressured water.
Just curious can you walk a whopper plopper as a retrieve?
Sometimes I think people run it to fast
Hank Parker use to throw a Texas rig worm after he missed a top water bite
When to fish it ?
Thanx, a little added info
You do an excellent job teaching. You answer the What, Where, When, How quickly and in a way this is easy to understand. Outstanding videos and very enjoyable also.
Whopper ploppers are easy to fish. Just remember they only work on videos and not real life and then put it back in your tackle box and grab anything else.
Kill the fish for holding it 20 minutes before you throw them back in
Do you tie the line straight to the lure…I've heard about line twist using these?
When, Where And How do I fish a “whopper plopper” ?
YES.
Any advice for the PNW? I live in southeastern WA and the bass can be very tricky up here.
I suggest using fish grips any time you use a bait with treble hooks.
Very good video. You're on slick water. How windy does it have to be before you stop using this bait?
