brgbassmaster Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Had a good bad day throwing the plopper. Bone 130 was the weapon of choice monday. Alot of amateur moves though too. Missed fish, broke off 50lb braid on a hookset ?. Forgot my drag was still loose from a reel cleaning and didnt get a good hookset on a fish that hit 4 times on one retrieve. Weird day still caught quite a few though. Also attached is a video from the blooper day. 8 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted June 7, 2020 Super User Posted June 7, 2020 *How do you break off with #50 lb. braid ? (lol !) ... I just ordered the WP 130 Trifecta : Bone , Monkey Butt & Loon . I will also be doing some serious comparisons between the WP 110 and 75 along with the Berkley Choppo 120 and 105 before too long . *The WP 130 has earned a spot in the tackle box but the others will have to play their way onto the team . The WP 75 in shad colors could do a good job on Spring match the hatch size when bass are busting shad up top plus it has a larger tail for it's size to produce more surface disturbance . The WP 110 has it's fans but some say once you try the Choppo's deeper , longer cut tail you will feel the WP 110 is relegated to calm conditions as the tail just doesn't kick up the kind of commotion the Choppo 105 does (at nearly the same body size).

Thats a great question ?. Braid was really old and that braid has been use extensively skipping under brush out here in Az. Thats how we frog fish you have to skip super far under the nasty stuff and braid was looking rough. I had changed the reel over to my plopper rod because i hadnt refilled my plopper reel with 50lb. Needless to say both frog reels and plopper rod have fresh 65lb and 50lb braid. I have found that the 110 and 130 work best when there is chop on water. When its glass calm i cannot get bit on either of those. But middle of the day with chop they crush em. I have a 75 also but never had a sniff. Literally threw a frog and a 110 and 130 exclusive all last summer on the colorado river and pounded them from April till september. Quote
