- Nick Smith, informative fisherman, bass tip #3 on fishing topwater. In this video he shows rigging, retrieval, and location on how to fish Soft Body Popper using the new Z Man Pop Shadz
This is the best Topwater bait I’ve ever used and you can fish it in so many different ways, walking, popping, and letting it sit on surface and spin they can’t stand it. It’s critical to rig it the way you did coming out past the chin. Use the Mustad Grip Pin hooks it keeps the hook from sliding down. This bait kills it during the spawn just fish it slowly. This is the best video I’ve seen for the pop Shadz. Excellent video Nick.
Hey Nick , I just wanted to let you and everyone at LTB know that this bait is awesome! Today I caught my PB and also my fist bass of the year and my first bass on artificial bait and my first bass on a bait caster. I just got back into fishing this year and have been at least a dozen times with no fish caught. Today I used this bait and skipped it under a bush hanging over the water and caught a 8lb 8oz 23-1/2" largemouth bass ! It took me 6 tries to skip it where I wanted , but when it got there I saw the fish come up with its mouth open and nail it ! It was awesome, I'd been throwing frogs ,whopper Ploppers , grassburners , and a senko all day with not one bite , but using this for 10 minutes and got the biggest fish I've ever caught ! In a 8' bass raider plastic boat with a BPS 6' rod and a BPS reel on 20lb braid. Just goes to show don't ever get discouraged, don't ever quit , fish with what you have and eventually you will be in the right place at the right time and with the right bait ! Thanks to LTB for help with the right bait , and thanks Nick for this video without it I would have never tried to skip this bait under there and caught my biggest fish !!
Keith Hester dude that's awesome!
I love those things. I've been using them for years, and they consistently produce great size bass
You sir, are a MASTER at skipping! I would love to have that ability!! Great video and I love the Pop Shadz.
Old Lady Angler lol, thank you! I did win a casting competition about 8 years ago. But that was for flippin' and pitchin' not skipping
Great Job Nick, cannot wait to go fish the Z man.
Love that you showed how to hook the plastic! Thanks nick!
I can't wait to try these. I was never a fan of popping lures. I recently purchased a Lunkerhunt popper and the bass absolutely mauled it yesterday morning.
Great video- very informative, nicely done!
very interesting popper design....
good video nick. I would say I can't wait to get my ltb today because of this bait, but I am not a fan of z man baits. They melt and are the only ones to cause a mess here in Arizona. the video is good and instructional. good job man.
I had a pack for several years and never used one . Then last year I finally tried it and it was incredible . It skips like nothing I ever used .
Nick, awesome video! Long time listener, first time caller, LOL.
I got some Pop Shadz a few months ago and tried them as a popper but you opened up so many possibilities with this bait. I did have a problem with it sliding down from the hook eye while working it on an 5/0 EWG. Maybe I wasn't driving the hook far enough thru the mouth/chin?
Keep up the good work, I'll be watchin'
Hmm, never wanted to try these, but I love zman products. Will definitely buy some today.
Awesome bait, love throwing these things!!!
Those things do skip a mile. Great info bro.
Great video man. Do you find that you need to set the hook as hard as you would with a frog?
Yes lay the wood to them the elaztek is tough and you need a hard hook set on braid
I LOVE THIS GUY, HE SAID "OHH AND DONT MIND MY SHAKY ASS HANDS" LMFAOO Cause Rude Ass Ppl Always In The Comments Saying The Meanest Shit Ever, Even Name Calling.....But Nice Video, Keep Em Coming!!
ReelLifeBassFishing alot of people don't know cause they havnt been told before
loving the new box
Wow good show man i like fishing but mostly i got snakehead
Keep up the good work! I love the information I just need to know when I can come fish on your private pond? Lol
Great Content!
Awesome video man
his Hands were shaking because he was excited about the box no big deal adrenaline i do the same after catching fish or tieing on small baits good vid bro
Are u connecting the braid directly to the worm hook...or do u use leader lines
Straight braid to hook no leader
Do the hooks in the box work for both soft plastics?
How much does the 4" size weight ?
he's my fav to watch fish from the LTB channel. he can shake all he wants lol
Timothy Rose lol! Thanks Tim!
Are these in the July box?
Dan H ya
Yay !!!!!!
Dan H yep!
Wow big fish snackhead 👍
Is this only for largemouth? Or can it be used for smallmouth
Luke Van Norman I got 4 smallmouth on these
I haven't gotten my July box yet do you guys know how long it takes to ship?
Zakary Hensche typically 10 days
Zakary Hensche depends where u live
"little bit more control" *drops rod* haha very nice
Jerry Lopez hahahahahaha!!!
how do you skip baits without Birdsnesting?
Alvin Carroll practice, lots of practice lol
Brennon Smith guess i'm gonna have to hit the lake alot more to get this down
Alvin Carroll not that much practice if you can already cast well. Just hit the water as close to the beginning of the cast as you can, and adjust your brakes accordingly.
mdubs54 oh okay thanks!
Love Topwater
Nice vid!
Nice nick! Keep up the awesome work #ltb
D.S. Reptiles and Fishing thanks bro!
Nick, what's going on with my box? I emailed LTB and waiting to hear back. My box has:
Chinese Tiger Balm pain relieving ointment
Lunkerhunt Link
Throwback Waggin shad
V&M flat wild 4"
Baby Paca craw
Mustard 4/0 hooks
Livingston stick master
Fishhound magnum Crank
Not ok. I already have most of these.
Well I guess I got my answer. It's sad that after being a subscriber for almost a year and XL subscriber for about five months that am going to have to set on the bench this month and just watch. At least I got the Chinese Tiger Balm pain relieving ointment (I'm going to need it) and a box of duplicate baits. I hope this isn't how it's going to go next month. 😔
Brandon Cox for the July box?
InformativeFisherman yep
glad to know i wasnt the only one to get the ointment
Leo Altes lol. That was to keep, not getting the topwater box, from hurting so bad.
What is wrong with your hands? Mine shake sometimes but not nearly as bad as that
Owen essential tremors
great video
At 6:36, what are those?
Chris Dyer camera man toes 😂
did anyone get their box yet because mine didn't come yet
Dylan Tran mine came today but it was early for me. Usually mine comes around the 12th-13
I just got mine but it only had one top water in it and it was one I got a few months ago, lunkerhunt link. I'm pretty disappointed. 😔
Brandon Cox you only get it if you get the normal bass box it can't be the bass xl
Brandon Cox I'll take it! Lol
Barrett Bassin' I hope your wrong. Because if your not, I'm done with LTB. I up graded to xl several months ago to make sure I didn't miss the Grass Burner and have been waiting for this "Top Water" box. All I got was a bunch of leftover crap from the last 3-4 months. There's nothing in my box, that this months box should have except the fish hound magazine featuring the Grass Burner.
Best hidden secret
Why do his hands shake like that
FYI do not store these pop shadz mixed in with your other soft plastics. I did and the pop shadz turned into a sticky gooey mess
it would have been nice to get this box but lucky tacklebox decided to send me a box with nothing but crankbaits and craws. smh
in my opinion these videos would be better if they released the hard body lures before the soft plastics
and i ment about the bait not the box
jeez your hands are shaky. great vid though!
👊🏽
Not to be rude but you guys screwed up my box so bad I got the same box as last month and everyone got new stuff I got nothing new please msg me back
First name Last name @luckytacklebox let's fix this
Did he really just show how to hook the lure?
Yeah because it’s very important. Just don’t pay attention and hook it however you want and you’ll be complaining that the bait doesn’t work

My God man ! You shake as BAD as my little brother . High blood pressure????????
"solid 4, 4 1/2 lb bass" 😂😂 maybe 2 1/2
Unfortunely they don't swim well. Stop using it.
