Did anyone else put in a pre order for the Whopper Plopper 110 this week? I saw Tackle Supply Depot is offering pre orders, not sure if anywhere else is or not. They said they'll receive them between May 26 and 31st and ship hem out the same day. Can't wait to try it out! I ordered the "I Know It" color since I've had such good luck with the 90 version of it.

Good to hear. I'll probably grab one to at least try. Hopefully it's just a smaller version of the 130 with none of the issues of the 90. I'd hate for it to be the other way around.

I suspect it will replace the 90 as the 90 gets such mixed reviews

I am happy with the 130 thank you!

I hope not, at just over 1/2oz I can throw the 90 on a ton more combos than I could a heavier one.   Honestly just keeping the rod tip up and the line tight fixes any running issues I have had.

I understand, but they are starting to go on sale.....just makes you think...sales this early in the season!

Not a chance. The Whopper Plopper 90 and 130 are 2 of their top 5 selling baits and the negative reviews are from user error or using them at the wrong times.. R2S isn't going to cut a top selling bait.

I bought a couple 90 size baits to try and the only problem is any debris on the water fouls it.

No way this replaces the 90. I've had way more luck on the 90 than the 130 to be honest. This 110 will be a really nice in between option though. Keep the rod tip up with the 90 and there should be no issues.

While I agree with this, it is pretty much true of any prop bait for that matter.

The 130 definitely does a better job of it though. A single blade of grass will foul the 90, and even when it's not fouled on a fast retrieve they can be prone to rolling over and spinning with the blade.

I'd think so too. If you look at TW though they don't even have the 90 size listed anymore for the normal version (not silent). Only reason I could think they would do that is they won't be carrying them in the future and they don't have any left. If it was a simple out of stock they should have a date listed. So it seems possible. Outdoor Pro Shop has the 110 available for pre-order and has it listed at 0.4oz. That's barely any heavier than the 90 is, and seems to me more like a replacement than a true "in between" of the 130 and 90. We'll see though, I still like the 90 a lot for smallmouth and calmer days.

My plopper 90 works ok, It does need to be moving at a decent clip to start plopping, which is somewhat counterproductive for dusk and night applications. I get more strikes with it moving slowly than fast, I wish it would move slower with the same action.

i had running problems with the 90 and when i emailed River 2 Sea to complain about it, they actually CALLED me on my phone.  Even THEY admitted there were issues with the 90.  They also admitted there were issues with the "Double Whopper Plopper" and the wire.  Ive been through 2 of the double ploppers that were pretty much destroyed by the first fish to hit it each time.  It would bend the wires so bad, i could never get it to run correctly no matter how much i tried to tweek the wire back to normal.

Interesting....I thought the 110s were suppose to be 3/4 oz. But the package says 1 oz.

I got them from a shop at bluewater lake in New Mexico. They have a few cases in stock, they got them last week. It sounds freakin awesome and it had a redesigned weed resistant tail. I'm gonna fish em all afternoon and evening...super confident! Really unique tone. I think them guys put up a you tube video on the action.
