POP or SLOP ?
I rarely fish a Popper opting a Spook .. I just enjoy fishing them. They're so much you can do ,its like a dance ,, making it snake on top or sub surface snaking with occaisional surfacing to spit water(jigman spook) much like a toned down version of a popper . spooks are fun .. I use to fish that plastic ccb olive popper when the occaision arrose but put it away when I really got into spooks .  |

Not sure what you mean by slop  I use both poppers and spooks, though most of my poppers are weighed so they can be used like a spook.

used both today.... BigFish pencil popper and Jigman spook....what a day....over 40 fish... up to 32"
this is my first year fishing a spook and love it....that Jigman spook snakes or dances...and drove the fish crazy
It was perfect...I went back and forth between the two plugs...with the sloppy weather sometimes they wanted it on top.....other times just below........  |

I have more confidence in spooks, but I know of more 50+ pound fish being taken on poppers during the day than on spooks or pencils. I suspect most of us look down on poppers as being the tool of novice fishermen, I know I do. Still, I am becoming convinced poppers may be one of the better ways to attract real big bass during the fall when copious amounts of smallish bait is around. Ask Flap about chr......ah nevermind.

I used SlOP to describe action of spook ... it doesn't really but it rymes with POP for popper ... George I wasn't aware of the 50# fish caught on poppers ,,intteresting .. I'll look at them differently now ... I don't want to be a plug snob .  |

Also if you mix it up a little. I.e., walk them slow, then add a couple of quick jerks to the plug, wake it for a distance, then pick up the pace, etc. If you can actually see the fish targeting the plug, even better, make the plug react to the fish like a bait fish would. Couple of half hearted swirls behind the plug, pick up the pace BLAM.

I don't use spooks at ALL.Zero confidence in em.None I am a popper man.Many big fish have come on the popper's Not 30 lb jersey fish,I'm talking 50's.Places like the Canal an all the points the bait fish have to migrate around like Point Judith,an Montuak.I had a fish miss my pencil last yr at PJ at sunrise looked like someone dropped a bus in the water.I have not had a spook I tried that worked like advertised.I really see no reason for em.Hey thats just me, thats why they make Vanilla an Chocolate Ice cream.

Popper Mania
With a small variety of poppers you can make them PoP, Slop, Swim, Skim, Dip, Rip.... I love bass hitting poppers. I had some large on small poppers as well, not just big poppers.
A few just sitting still after doing the popper dance.....Kaboom!

Afterhours for when there is a good chop and wind, although a pencil may be the way to go then also
Don't have alot of time in with them yet, but the Surf Asylum Sleep walker is also productive and casts very well |

Being relatively newe to this sport  I find the one plug that I can say I have truely mastered is the popper, more specifically the Creek Chub Series 1900 and 2100 in Chrome (fav) and Pearl white (2nd fav).
Now as a beginner may I be so bold as to suggest that those things will catch when most others fail. So far it has been my good fortune to have taken bass up to 40lbs with them and a couple Bluefin Tuna found them interesting as well last year. 
It has also been my good fortune to have have this tip given to me by a friend a few years back as he was stating his dismay on a how a fifty pound bass could be and was fooled by one of them along the Elizabeth Islands. I guess bass ain't really that smart
There are certain groups of plugs that are given to morwe success in different areas. On the boat while sliding along the Elizabeths the CCB poppers, Bernzy's Howdy (which to me is a better boat fished pluig than shore fished) Beachmaster Danny's, Gibbs Pencil Poppers and Predators ( the only place they consistently catch fish)
On the Beach it's Needles. Sinking , floating and intermediate by whomever. I make my own now and they are pretty rough but they catch and catch well. After needles it's minnow type plugs like Yo's, Bombers and the good old reliable and still a fish producer Rebel 5-1/2 and 7 inch floating. Pencils cross over here as well and occasionally (especially in the fall) Danny's catch along the sand edge.
The canal has it's specific plugs ( and all should pay homage to Msrs" Gibbs and Kuzia) Polaris Poppers, Pencils and Lead head jigs.
Pop and slop, it all goes into the mix for successful fishing. (Pretty heady stuff from a tyro like me  ) |
Why even try.........

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Technocality here Slip, Bigfoot is officially classified as a monster and Franky well he is a cross over. Sorry just had to make the correction.
(Casper is dead, Dracula is technically dead and Franky was dead but was brought back to life by Dr. F) |
