Choppy and Wopper plopper out fish every top water lure ever, rain or shine any conditions my plopper snashes every time I will never use anything else
Got a 105 Choppo in bone the other day and already caught a big smallie on it. I just ordered a sexy dawg jr in bone when I got back from the river! lol
Great info! I fish most of those baits and I LOVE TOP WATER FISHING!!! I learned to topwater fish for bass in the early 1960s. Primarily the devilhorse! It's perfect shape and size, and cadence produces water sounds bass can't refuse.But I'd use a carrot if I didn't have the real thing! I fish for bluegills on top water too: flyrod and poppers!!! I could write a book on fishing the devilhorse. There's fishing and then There's TOPWATER FISHING!!!
Great video, as always. The Choppo seems to break all the rules of bass fishing. Seems to catch bass on every outing when other lures don't work. Have you used the new Hellrazor? I caught a few bass two weeks ago on it. A demo video on the popper techniques would be nice
Wake baits, hula poppers, prop baits, jitterbug, floating worms, weedless spoons, rubber frogs... seems like there are more top water lures to try. Does anyone else think a choppo is just the newest version of a prop bait?
The buzzbait does all the same when covering water as a plopper. Only true advantage ive fiund is you can stop and rip a plopper style bait where you cant a buzzbait. The buzzbait has a advantage on the plopper though by being more weedless and can be threw into sparce vegetation.
I love the Berkeley Choppo but I have a big issue with fish hitting it and not getting hooked. Has anyone else noticed that? Should I change the hooks or slow down the retrieve, or is this an unavoidable problem?
This is hard in thick, thick cover, but Lake fork tackle has a frog trailer hook! Single 1/0 with 2 little wires that go over your frog hooks. If I get short strikes, I throw it on n it definitely. Helps!
I actually like to fish jointed swim baits like a barely sun-surface wake bait just an hour or so before topwater really turns on, cool to see someone w the same idea but different approach!

tried a whopper plopper and love it. 2 weeks ago i caught 21 fish in about 4 hours on it( 1 blue catfish, 1 goggle eye and 19 bass). largest bass caught was about 4 lbs. i also got the choppo and sorry to say but i find the opposite to what he claims. when the WP hits the water and i start reeling the tail starts turning and will continue all the way. with my choppo it lands and will take a rotation or 2 of the reel before it starts turning good and after a couple more turns it seems like it stops. i have found that i have to hold my rod very high and as quickly as i can get all the line up out of the water for it to work right. the WP i dont have to do that.
That's awkward. To me, they BOTH have a time n place n both make a different noise! Bluegill choppy n monkey butt and black popper for me. Tight lines, bro💯👊
Caught my PB on a black chompo, 7 pounds and caught a close second with a white popper. Love me some top water.
Way to go brother, what part of the world?
Misery aka Missouri
It seems every trip out where I throw the Choppo, I catch a bass when other lures don't work.
Congrats on the fish!
Please demo the lures.

What about prop baits? Hedden Torpedo?
They still work
11:09 and it just catches hands and fingers too as you can see lol

I've caught some of my biggest bass on buzzbaits. The big plastic props are the best.
@@richardreed2839 for over 20 years I've caught multiple PBs on a buzzbait lol its a go to bait for me. I even started back building my own.
The ARK TB115 Has become my favorite, go to topwater!! L9ve the tp70 too!

I do better with the smaller profile as apposed to the larger

I’ve started adding a extra swivel on my top water lures and it helps with the movement
For me I give them about a 3 count of time when they hit it.
@@MultiGunner65 So when they hit you stop the retrieve, count a few seconds, then set?
I casted high once and my frog got tied onto a tree branch but never snagged
Great tips , thanks 🎣🎣
Why no loop knot on that popper you’re missing out
Great info
Ricos are the best popper
What about a wakebait?
In winter
Frog is good for snake heasd
You can also use a spinner or chatterbait as a pseudo topwater by burning it back just below the surface. Have got some decent fish like that

@@jakespitzley1621shhhhh lol I been doing this for years!🤫😅 tight lines buddy
