Drop Shot A Hula Popper?

[Snakehead Whisperer]

Actually it really does work, but it has to have purple polka dots too.

But seriously, purple on pink is a killer color scheme on crankbaits.

"Loose lips sink ships". Dont believe everything you hear. Especially that!

I have actually done something similar. Except it involved a 3way swivel a 1 1/4oz sinker a Rebel pop-r with some of those tape on weights to keep it horizontal. A Zebco 33 spooled up w/ 12lb yellow Stren & a 5'6" ugly stick. I like to use it for deep water presentations for smallies. You cast it out let it sink (works best in brush or rocks) when the weight hits the bottom just do the chugging back in like normal. Great stained water presentation!

I think he's trying to throw you off. I wouldn't be taking anymore fishing advice from that guy.

I will try to help anyone. I am not a professional but if I am on the fish, I want others to experience the same. Especially those who are new or not as experienced.

Huh????

Sounds like a load of Bull Shad if you ask me. Like Teal said, I've know people to give out bogus information about what the fish are biting, and I've done it before myself especially to nosy, aggravating people that I don't trust that much.

"Bull Shad" hahaha.. I agree x2

I've been known to have a giant pink Poe's crank tied on when I show up for weigh-in but I've never 'told' anyone i was using it. They may have assumed it tho just by its presence on my rod. I have caught smallies over 100' of water on a Spook Jr. tho, so don't write off all goofy notions as someone pulling your chain.

That's awesome.  I once left my swimbait rod on the deck after a Tx on Erie, lol.  The trick is not to say a thing about it.

I do this sometimes with a 10" offshore trolling crankbait that has #2 treble hooks on it.

 Be careful about snowjobing the competition, it will come back to bite you. How do I know??? LOL. Last year I had a couple young guys who's chain I was yanking about how/where I was catching my fish..............well those guys went out and did some of the outlandish things I was dreaming up to mess with them, AND BEAT ME TWICE last fall in tournaments. Or so they said, maybe there just messing with me....it's actually pretty dang funny. Were all friends so no harm no foul, and I think they got wise to it anyways, because the hounding me for info stopped.

It actually dosent seem that bogus.

 

When you think about it, does it really matter what bait you are drop shotting?

 

Usually at drop shot depths color dosent really play an important role at all and visibility also cuts down from sunlight.

 

After all a hula-popper does float and I can almost garuntee if you tried it out some youd likely catch a fish. 

 

Also the hooks are on the bottom of the lure so it seems like it would also be pretty weedless on a vertical presentation.

[Blues19]

What would be the point of that type bait in that type of presentation? I don't understand a popper lure 20 feet under water using a sit-and-wait approach.

thats what i was thinking too. and you would need alot of weight to make it sink. just seems like it would be crazy awkward to try to use
