Quillback Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Curious if any of you striper fishers have tried the 130 size plopper for stripers. Seems like it would be a good one to throw, you can cast it a mile, makes a lot of commotion, but maybe not the right action for the striped critters? I might toss it around next week some, but I hate to waste valuable early morning fishing time experimenting with lures.
Stump bumper Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Might be ok for smaller fish, but if you hit a 30lb plus fish I would think you just lost a $12 lure. Moving parts are just not as strong as a spook or Pencil popper. Then again if you use 10lb test and take your time it might be the ticket, I prefer 40lb braid and putting my back into the fight and getting them to boat without tiring them totally out. JMO I have not tried one, I go to the jerk baits when everyone else is getting a top water bite just my thing.

Dan the fisherman Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 I'm yet to get one on it. Really it seems to be more of a color thing with them tuxedoed bass. I've gone form bone to chrome and vice versea and that's made all the difference. Very picky animals.
Bill Babler Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Last year. I believe the 2nd. week of November, Greg Wood and Bill Beck just hammered them on the Plooper. Don't know what color they used. I know they had at least 2 over 30 and several over 20 lbs. They went two days, a guide friend of Greg's told him where they were chasing and it was totally unreal. I went with them about a week later and none came up. I did catch a dandy walleye on a jigging spoon. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Dan the fisherman Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 I tried the plopper today. Didn't get a bite. Threw my spook and got 5 blow ups. Only landed 3 of them. Still a good morning. Fish were in the 12-15 range. Stump bumper and Blll 2
