    Just discovered your channel and will be tuned in. I've been a WP user for a few years now and had one thing to offer. The "tone" of the various sized Whopper Ploppers varies as well. Obviously this can best be heard on one of those dead quiet mornings/evenings but I have, with success, changed baits (and varied speed) in an effort to get a different "pitch." Like you said, the same can be true for buzz baits and more. And, I'm a huge believer, this is an 85% auditory lure. Keep up the good work!

      Great insight! In part 2 of this series, I'll cover the entire WP lineup (190-60) and talk about, as you highlighted, the various sizes and tones produced. Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it!

    I sometimes will also fish the WP like you would fish a popper, from a stand still it really makes an awesome "plurp" sound whenever you just give it a single decently heavy jerk motion with pretty good surface commotion

    • @sotayakfishing

      Nice! I just talked about that tactic in part 3 of the series. My pops are typically subtle pops. Do you find more success popping in certain conditions more than others?

    Great footage man! I've been in LOVE w/the Plopper since 2020 when I finally broke down & bought 1. 3 Smallies on my 1st 5 casts! Have caught I'd guess close to 1000 Bass on them since, love the Loon & the Bone. Have also been using the Berkley Choppo since 2022 w/similar results. Great Video & information, new Sub from Indiana!

      Awesome...always cool to hear from other WP fanatics. It is definitely a hard bait to put down. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

    Thanks for this video. I have caught more fish on the Whopper Plopper than any other lure. My fish prefer the "Loon."

      @sotayakfishing  Рік тому

      I think the WP has probably landed a majority of my fish too...thank you so much for sharing and watching!!

    I add a split ring swivel to every whopper plopper, it has no impact on the function, but pretty much eliminates all line tangle.

    • @sotayakfishing

      Nice! I typically use a swivel snap but I’m planning to completely switch over to split rings next year. Split rings never fail!

    great series of videos. Question , your package shows to be size 3 treble hooks but VMC only shows to have a size 3/0 treble, are these the same?

    • @sotayakfishing
      @sotayakfishing  6 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching! No, not the same. The size 3/0 treble hooks will be much larger than the size 3 treble hooks. 👉 www.rapala.com/us_en/9650-round-bend-treble-1x?childSku=us-9650BN#3/0C

    I think you omitted a key aspect: size. Please rank the sizes like you did the colors.

    • @sotayakfishing
      @sotayakfishing  6 місяців тому

      You’re right I didn’t talk about sizes in this one but I do go over the size differences in part 2. Ranking them is difficult for me because of so many variables (it would change from smallmouth to largemouth etc) but I might try to put something together here soon. Thanks for watching!
