Any Whopper Plopper 130 Size Users ?

[ChrisD46]

I see a sale on line showing Whopper Plopper 130 size on sale for $12.74 ea.  ... I currently have the Whopper Plopper in 110 I use in various colors for LMB and Spotted Bass - but was thinking of adding the Whopper Plopper 130 size in Bone & Loon colors just to have / try ... *What has been your preference / differences between the Whopper Plopper 110 vs. the 130 sizes ? ... Thanks in advance !

I use the 130 and catch lots of spotted bass on it. My go to color is  "I Know It"

[Born 2 fish]

I have a few I catch more on the 90 and 110 so I don’t use the 130s often.

I have a bunch of the 130 size and enjoy fishing  with them.  My buddies fish mostly with the smaller version and do well.  All said I do not see a significant difference in numbers either way.

[Bluebasser86]

I have several 130s. My first several fish on them were actually smallmouth. I like them more when targeting largemouth but smallies and spots have no issues with them.

I have only a 130. Wouldn’t recommend it haha. Had it 1.5 years and got one bite that I didn’t hook

If they are on sale get em! They work.  And if you dont get bit, mail them to me

Pretty much the only one I use...I like the weight & ability to aggressively power fish it long distances in river currents.

[JediAmoeba]

I like the 190!

[GreenPig]

I fish the 75 to 190. The WP size I fish on any trip is determined by the size of the body of water. In ponds I throw the 75 & 110, on lakes the 110 & 130. The 190 is for night LM trips only.

I appreciate the replies - I will ad that not only was I interested in the WP 130 size for LMB and Spotted Bass - the reservoirs I fish also have Striped Bass with large , wide open areas where I thought a WP 130 could be bombed out a long distance and cover a lot of water . As for color , I was thinking of getting a WP 130 in Bone color first as it may possibly be the best all - around color , then maybe a translucent color - not sure if I need a Black (Loon) color or not in the WP 130 size ?

Especially at night or very low-light conditions. You can hear that baby a cove away!

Is there a chance you could tell me where they are on sale?? ?

In exchange for........?

[Teal]

No exchange necessary. I'll even waive the fishing lure adoption fee, re homing fee, and storage fee.??

 

On a serious note, if he gets a 130 he doesnt like it and feels bad about spending 13 bucks on it, as long as it not damaged I'll surely buy it.  Those things are worth every penny.

75 and 110 are the best for me

[MN Fisher]

I've been happy with my 90s actually. Bass and Pike seem to both love them.

[ChrisD46]

*After further review , I believe the WP 110 & smaller 75 sizes may be the better option for me and my equipment ... I am especially curious about the new , smaller WP 75 size now !

[Teal]

The 110 is a killer! It think it is the perfect size to catch a good range of fish.  Good luck on it Chris.  MUNKY BUTT color has actually been my best producer.  Loon, and perch have also caught plenty of fish.  

[Primus]

I prefer the 130 and 75 size, not a fan of the 90. The 110 & 130 get about the same number of bites and when fishing for largemouth I will usually choose the larger bait. I have a 130 in the Perch color that's been annihilated several times. 

[Black Hawk Basser]

I only have a 130.  I bought it just for fun, hoping to either get a muskie's attention, or big bass.  I have only thrown it for maybe two hours in two years.  I should give it more opportunities, as I've gotten a couple muskie blow-ups, and I have caught a few bass from two to four pounds.

 

I guess the only reason why I don't throw it more often is that I don't really have a suitable rod to throw a 1.5 ounce bait.

[ChrisD46]

It appears many Whopper Plopper sizes are good ... I have a Abu Garcia Veritas bait cast rod in H / F that I currently use only for Biffle Buggin (like that hard , instant deflection this rod provides to a Biffle Bug) - any way the WP 130 weighs 1.38 oz. which would be in the weight range of the 7' Veritas (gen 2) H / F rod but instead of #50 lb. braid that most people use with the WP 130 I am going to experiment with either #17 lb. C-XX co-poly or #20 lb. Big Game mono - both will give me a little more stretch when used with the 7' Veritas H / F rod (i.e. the  white broom stick) .

 

*MTF : Start with the WP 110 size - they are on sale at Cabela's currently ... Hope this helps you .

[Bluebasser86]

The 75 is shorter, but very heavy for it's compact size and cast like a bullet. Caught a lot of fish on them (just like all the other sizes).

The 110 seems to be the best size in my area for both largemouth and smallmouth. It’s big enough to draw the big bite, but still small enough to appeal to 1-2 lbers too. I’ve tried the 130, but seem to get much more action on the 110. You can get away with a medium or medium heavy rod with braid for the 110. You’ll need a stronger rod for the 130, that bait is heavy!

 

Im not a fan of the WP 90 or 75. The ones that I have don’t run true and spin around on the surface if you reel too fast. I don’t have this issue with the 110 or 130.

[ChrisD46]

I bought three WP 130's in : Bone , Monkey Butt and Loon as these colors appear to be able to cover any conditions I might encounter . Other colors such as Blue Gill , I know It , Blue Blood and Phantom Shad I have in other WP sizes already .
