BPS Plopper

[dtrs5kprs]

Tim's pic of this bait twisted my arm. Have to say it looks and feels pretty solid. Hooks seem decent too. Only concern I have is about the durability of the Plopper blades as they are hard, not flexible like the Whopper.

I would think the harder blades would be better and more consistent...my 90 blade wont start turning till you have moved it 25 feet.

Looks like it might work, waiting for the on the water test results.

I tend to think you are right, at least until you bang one off a dock or a rock.

Some of the up north originals were made with hard "blades", metal and such.

My 90s are super inconsistent. Don't know if that is because they started making so many, so fast, but I have that idea.

Like the counter rotating design on the BPS.

Kind of a spin off of the old twin prop top water baits, that had the prop in front and back...

I threw mine today when we were out on the river just to see what it does.  It makes a heck of a noise, and is as you would think it would sounds like a whopper plopper making double the plopping.  It's runs really straight due to the counter rotating blades.  Reel them in really fast they sound like a small motorboat in the water. Heavy as all get out though and you really have to lob it to get it out there. 

 

When they get the split rings fixed on the smaller version I think those are going to be the ticket.

They were having trouble with the smaller version with the blades breaking off because they were glued on. They are going to have the blades molded as one piece now. Plus the split rings were too large causing the lure to set to low in the water.

Or smoke one of the pillars on the KC bridge, luckily I was able to bend it back into working condition.

Interesting to note that that 1 of those pilings consistently fishes better than the rest for me.

I used a couple of these down at Grand a while back and the blades broke on both of them. Are they for sure going to mold the blades in or continue to glue them on? I was using the large ones. They do catch fish until they break though. Another bait we used at Grand was the Grass Burner. It worked awesome too. They are $25 , but the fish really seemed to like it.
