POP or SLOP ?

I rarely fish a Popper opting a Spook .. I just enjoy fishing them. They're so much you can do ,its like a dance ,, making it snake on top or sub surface snaking with occaisional surfacing to spit water(jigman spook) much like a toned down version of a popper . spooks are fun .. I use to fish that plastic ccb olive popper when the occaision arrose but put it away when I really got into spooks .

Not sure what you mean by slop I use both poppers and spooks, though most of my poppers are weighed so they can be used like a spook.

used both today.... BigFish pencil popper and Jigman spook....what a day....over 40 fish... up to 32"
this is my first year fishing a spook and love it....that Jigman spook snakes or dances...and drove the fish crazy
It was perfect...I went back and forth between the two plugs...with the sloppy weather sometimes they wanted it on top.....other times just below........

I have more confidence in spooks, but I know of more 50+ pound fish being taken on poppers during the day than on spooks or pencils. I suspect most of us look down on poppers as being the tool of novice fishermen, I know I do. Still, I am becoming convinced poppers may be one of the better ways to attract real big bass during the fall when copious amounts of smallish bait is around. Ask Flap about chr......ah nevermind.

I used SlOP to describe action of spook ... it doesn't really but it rymes with POP for popper ... George I wasn't aware of the 50# fish caught on poppers ,,intteresting .. I'll look at them differently now ... I don't want to be a plug snob .

Afterhours for when there is a good chop and wind, although a pencil may be the way to go then also

Don't have alot of time in with them yet, but the Surf Asylum Sleep walker is also productive and casts very well

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Technocality here Slip, Bigfoot is officially classified as a monster and Franky well he is a cross over. Sorry just had to make the correction.
(Casper is dead, Dracula is technically dead and Franky was dead but was brought back to life by Dr. F)

Why even try.........
