Whopper plopper lure

I’ve been having one for almost 2 years and still haven’t caught a fish on it.

But I rarely throw it.

And if you get the big one, better use braided line. Its heavy and will snap monofilament or fluorocarbon if you "whip it" when you cast. A buddy told me....

This is def true. I lost my only plopper on my first cast so that’s why I’m curious. I got a side of a stump thinking my line would handle it. Nope. And I was so excited to see how it would perform

Caught 2 6#ers on the big one at Toledo Bend last fall within 25yds of each other.
Had a few other good fish. Conditions were perfect though. I only use the smaller ones on other lakes.

I caught a 5lber on the big one in Lake Martin early summer and a few other smaller 1-2lb fish on the medium sized ones.

Made a few cast with the big one and had a redfish take a swipe at it by missed, but I haven't thrown it in saltwater since.

I made a terrible cast and there's one stuck 30' up in a cypress tree on Lake Martin, my eyes watered up a bit when that happened.

Fished Lake DeGray for a week this summer and caught a lot of fish using one. Granted these were schooling fish in about 100ft of water, so it was not your typical deal. Caught blacks, whites and stripers on it.

I love mine! I caught two nice largemouths on it last spring. It is very easy to use, be sure to use a line that floats and just cast and retrieve. It is exciting to get a hit on it, as you see the fish jump.

Love them. Absolutely hammered the bass the last couple years in bayou black on the 90 size. Loon, bone and chartreuse shad are my favorites. Definitely got to use braided line!

I got spanked last year by a guy throwing a buzz bait in the middle of the day / summer 100 degrees bluebird skies

I couldn't believe it
