dang. wish ida asked this advice before i ordered but yea ill grab a 130 in another color

I've seen the 90 catch plenty of fish and some will tell you the opposite.  I think they both have have their place depending on the situation.  I think the 130 is easier to fish.

my buddy was fishing a 90 in a pond not too long ago so i was able to see the action on it.  i really liked it!  it's like a buzzbait that you can stop and go!  i'll end up with one (or more) in the tacklebox before long....

Got one in MTB March box and first cast I suspended the plopper over a branch and boom a bass. This bait is so versiatle and it is like buying a 3 in one bait. You can work the bait like a spook, buzzbait, and popper. From past expirences with other poppers this bait gives an easy to use popping nosie that is amazing. When you pop the plopper it sounds like you are cupping your hands and clapping them together. The MTB gave a 90 version and I had such a great expirence with this bait I have already ordered the 130 version.

tracking says mine should b here today. was hopin to take it out to the pond but we got alot of rain coming in this afternoon. will def pick up a 130 size if i like it

Have you seen the tail on the plopper isn't it awsome

I have both the 90 and 130 and both work great for me, I do throw the 130 more often though.

Speaking from experience with WI and MN use with wopper ploppers... If there is a pike within 100 yards of you, he is going to hit it. The 90 is going to get snipped in a second. The 90 doesn't really make sense to me honestly. The wopper plopper is a BIG FISH BAIT. The 130 is a big fish size. The 90 is a "numbers" size in a big fish bait. If numbers is the target then a spook or buzzbait is the bait of choice. 

I'm going to give the 130 a try this season, but I'll probably use the hand-tied leader with 20# fluorocarbon. They've saved a lot of lures for me during those times when the pike are going nuts. I pre-tie them and then just swap them out when they get nicked. I've never once had a pike saw through one of them.

Obviously, it'll alter the action a bit on a topwater, but we'll see what happens.

Its my absolute favorite topwatter lure at the moment. I love the action an the fish I'v been around love it an there is no beter way to catch them then on topwatter. an living in the southeastwith nothing but blue back hearing lakes around I'm use to throwing spooks an pencil popers an other "schooling baits" an I can get wait to start chucking the wopper plopper at them when they move back out for the summer an start schooling. as of rn I'm catching them on it during the spawnnothing big but I am fishing in ponds but I know it'll catch them on the lake just the same.

Buddy got one in the MTB and is doing well with it in spring 60* water

[iceintheveins]

I've seen a friend use one and they catch the hell out of them.

Just ordered one... read the article in Bass Times and saw a video with Ish.  Better be good for $18.

Have any of you guys tried the PH Custom Lures Crazy Ace? It seems very similar. It floats on top, has a propeller on the back, a popping style mouth, and can be burned, popped, walked, walked, buzzed, etc. 

I bought a few whopper poppers, I haven't yet tried them, they seem to be a similar concept, except they probably leave a bigger bubble trail or louder buzzing sound. The PH Crazy ace doesn't have as big a propeller, but it leans side to side a bit as you retrieve to give the bait an extra motion. Any thoughts or comparisons?

I just checked it out on TW and it's much smaller with the largest size at 1/2oz. and 2-3/4". The Whopper Plopper 90 is 5/8oz. and 3" and the 130 is 1.38oz. and 5".

[rboat]

Tried both the 90 and 130 size. I like the 90, but you have to hold your rod up and reel faster on the smaller size to get the same action. Had no takers, but it was extremely windy and maybe not the best conditions for topwater. So, for now just another tool in the box.
