POP or SLOP ?

[numbskull]

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.

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.

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!
