POP or SLOP ?

[Jigman]

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........

Sounds like a Zagger lovely little swimming snaky devil....... but I do like poppers to that give a wicked pop and spray

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.

Also if you mix it up a little. I.e., walk them slow, then add a couple of quick jerks to the plug, wake it for a distance, then pick up the pace, etc. If you can actually see the fish targeting the plug, even better, make the plug react to the fish like a bait fish would. Couple of half hearted swirls behind the plug, pick up the pace BLAM.

I don't use spooks at ALL.Zero confidence in em.None I am a popper man.Many big fish have come on the popper's Not 30 lb jersey fish,I'm talking 50's.Places like the Canal an all the points the bait fish have to migrate around like Point Judith,an Montuak.I had a fish miss my pencil last yr at PJ at sunrise looked like someone dropped a bus in the water.I have not had a spook I tried that worked like advertised.I really see no reason for em.Hey thats just me, thats why they make Vanilla an Chocolate Ice cream.

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 .
