This Is A TOPWATER Bait You ALL NEED - Rate the Bait Pt. 15

I was about to watch an old rate the bait and I saw this new one pop up. Keep doing these, they’re awesome.
Berkeley Choppo is the best plopped bait hands down. In my opinion. Fish that don't want to bite will bite it period.
D.C. gone always change his rating at least once on every bait! 😂
I'm just a weekend warrior so I'd be curious to see "rate the hook" since it seems you guys always swap out hooks for something else
The googan is the worst plopper made, like most of their junk
You need to step up your game everyone is winning and you have not one trophy since I've been watching you what's the hold up do it for your family win. Good luck dawg.
Man I have a friend that throws a whopper plopper year around when I say year AROUND😂😂😂 but I got away from them when they really just went crazy , couldn’t go to a lake and somebody was throwing one plus my buddy it just got out of hand to where I would think it ran fish away after a while I had to stop fishing with my buddy because I thought he was running everything away lol😂 so many other top waters but still I’ll rate him as a whole a 7.5 because he is a fun little bait to play with. Do a rate the bait on 3.5 inch swim baits.
This is why I fish alone on my skeeter
What all these pros missed is the choppo tail is too brittle... I fish tournaments on the California delta...and I have had the tail snap off catching a bass around 7 pounds.... and I've also had the tail break barely hitting a limb that was round as my pinky....I was like really? That's why I stay with the O.G. when money is on the line I'd rather stay with the more consistent bait that doesn't fail 💯
I have fished several choppos with no Issue. I landed somewhere north of 120 fish in one week on the small sized one with zero issue. So many casts that the hook rash almost ate a hole into the body.
Love rate the bait! Here's a few suggestions:
drop shot baits, soft swimbaits(normal size or larger), trailers(for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, etc)
Googan revolver 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Aye yo Googan Squad got some bs baits bruh. Imo NONE OF THEIR SHIT IS GOOD. Not durable soft plastics, gimmicky hard lures, all marketing. River2sea and Berkely choppo are the best ones but I noticed the choppo sounds deeper. The 130 choppo sounds insane definitely a muskie/pike attraction here in the north east
The best topwaters are big wakebaits! Spro 50 rat, Pats perch, MS Slammer, Lanciotti phsyco gill. Since I started throwing big wakebaits I've been catching way bigger fish and more of them.
I’ve had some of my best days fishing on the bone colored whopper plopper 75. Just wish the tail didn’t get tangled so easily
Every river 2 sea plopper I’ve ever had always had suuuuper sticky/sharp hooks. Gotta disagree with Mr wheeler. Unless they changed it up 🤷🏻♂️
Who’s drinking the Good2Grow Minnie Mouse apple juice? My daughter loves them too we have a cupboard full of the bottles to reuse. lol- that’s gotta be DCs “ secret stuff”
pond in sc that this farmer charges 500 if u catch your pb
AND I think every person has paid him 500
I caught a 13.6
my pb beat my 12.4 on murray
Let's see a rate the bait on 10-12 foot running crankbaits I'm having a hard time deciding I've had just about every Norman crankbait and gave them away had pretty much every strike king crankbait and gave them away now I'm using 6th sense crankbaits
If ypu throw the chappo in the 120 size they won't spin over almost ever... but i will say those hard tails dont do good bpuncing right off the edge of seawalls tend to snap off but i absolutely love the Berkley Chappo
I love the Choppo but I've broken off so many tails from hitting rocks.
The choppo has been a more productive lure for me than the Whopper Plopper.
Aye let's do a rate the bait on the oddest, strangest, weirdest lures y'all used. The weirdest one I used was a double buzzbait by river2sea 😂
When I started fishing again a couple of years ago after several years, my buddy broke the plopper out and I literally laughed. It ain't no joke though. It catches slaunches fer sure!
Idk if it would be boring but could rate like your favorite swimbait heads, shakey head, or Underspin
Some of my favorite content right here. Appreciate you taking the time to make em!
Lmao😂 feel your pain DC. Budy of mine stuck me in the back of the head with a 110. Both hooks stuck in me. Luckily i had a buzz cut at the time and we was able to use the braid method to get them out. That crap hurt.
I put revolver on and big fish would smack it…. And then throw the bait every time, never happened on the OG
Mark I love your rape the bait podcast I love hearing your guys's opinions on all of that stuff add Mr professor wheeler cracks me up
That whopper plopper style has been around 80 yrs I’d guess. Old globe style they called it
Love this about choked on a peach laughing on the sleeping in the truck comment.
If you are on a budget and are not dependent on catching fish to make. Living the og river sea s tale won't break when you hit him on a rock saving you money because of broken tales
Pay wife has beaten me several times throwing the 110 river to sea
Adrian cracking me up! I don’t know if I could buy a Biden lure either. 🤣
Hey MDJ, I absolutely love your show and the format. All of you guys are fun, you keep it, light and interesting, and most of all, as you always say, you keep it real. I appreciate each and everyone of you and the time and effort you put out to give us awesome content. I pray for each and everyone of you to have a safe and successful season and look forward to watching you not only on this show, but during the tournaments.
You can think the WP is the best, until you throw the Choppo. If you know, you know.
The revolver is pretty decent, but the center hook fouls up quite a bit, but the worst part is that it's easy to break since it's hard plastic.. don't throw it around any hard cover..
Man I've fished all my life but 6 years ago a old man on a boat saw me bank fishing and threw me a bone whopper plopper and I haven't stop bass fishing ever since!! Great video
2008 when R2Sea and Larry Dahlberg “invented “ it
Caught my PB on the googan revolver. Bone white. The bigger size.
I have a few choppo's neither one of them will work unless i speed crank them ...dont spin worth a darn
A little trick I learned with ploppers is to use heat shrink tubing on the eye of the rear hook and over the split ring. Straightens out the rear hook for less drag, it's still flexible, and helps stop short strikes.
Revolver is brittle but was nice when it worked. 3 casts lol
Zelensky frog?
Sounds more like a RAT lure.
I caught a 7lbr on a megabass popX with a BFS Setup
Yall ever play with that deps evoke zero 120/150?
I wanna see yall rate the Googan "Clickbait." 😂😂😂
Ive had the same experiences, the plopper tail is pretty shit after it's been in and out the tray a couple times and the chappo does get a little squirelly somtimes both great baits that catch em👍
Talking top water how could you not bring a walking the dog bait into the mix.
I’ve been hooked deep twice with ploppers lol why are they so aggressive
I would like to see shakey head styles especially screw lock versus non screw lock
Caught my PB on the choppo. They are amazing
Could you do something on Tungsten jigs? Some states need to be lead free
What hooks would guys use to change out the ones on the plopper?
just got done white bass fishing and a new rate the bait comes out 💪🏻🔥
Can y'all do a rate the bait on the best drop shot style worms
J was right the middle hangs up to much !
This is a great series......All you guys are awesome
Choppo is the best. Period. Best sound
Rate the bait on chatterbaits love the content
I need a buzzbait video now!!!!!!😂
Do speed worms next!!
Every one of these baits need the swivel
MDJ giving out the secrets on the Choppo.......the swivel also helps with the line twist if your throwing it on mono. I prefer the Choppo over the plopper, the blade engages almost every time, where the whopper plopper seems to foul way more and when it does you always seem to lose 5-6' of productive water before it starts spinning.
What about the new heddon
Should check out the XPS Chaos Shad
Hey y’all need to do an A-Rig episode
its not rate the bait without snacks. haha
lol. I love these videos but like yall said these baits were the best when people started using them on the lakes. But hey,,,, in rivers not a lot of people have used them at all and the river to sea ( i like that sound the best ) one absolutely smashes them. especially in rocky creeks where getting hung up with deeper lures is a problem.....
What in the hell was Adrian eating?
trick worms small to large.
This bait is more than 100 years old. Unless I am missing something, the Mud Puppy from CC Roberts is the original plopper style bait. It was manufactured starting in 1918 and came in two sizes, one of which was 5.5" which is about the same size as Larry Dahlberg's version of this bait. Check it out for yourself. Like I said, maybe I'm missing something.
BTW, I love this series Mark, keep it up! It really helps me see these baits from a whole different perspective.
Love the content all you all put out, and love RTB! I would like to hear some on these new FFS jerk baits coming out, like the Krej. Especially how they perform without FFS, cuz I'm a poor country boy without it. Hell, polarized sunglasses are my FFS. Love Ya'll! 🎣🎣
Choppo hooks suck
Boys this is very important so check it. I promise . All sizes of both berkley and river 2 sea were meant to give off different sounds. With berkley even the paint job gives a different sound. The HD colors will roll on their side because of A- the gloss and B it shows the profile of the fish while still keeping the tail end straight up. The overall best shize for choppo is the 75. I’ve used them all since the creation. I live on the Mohawk River ny where there’s 5-6lb smallmouth. I cannot count- but I have a fishbrain adkyakman, that’ll show you 100s of smallmouth between 3.5 and over 5, 2 over 6pounds on a choppo 75z the smaller size gives a louder more irritating plop than the 90 which gives a softer more subtle plop. The 105 gives the loudest plop that’s good on a slow consistent rol. I have some shorts on my TH-cam of smallmouth absolutely destroying this bait- check them out. The 75 for choppo and 90 of the River2sea are the most over looked baits on the entire market they aren’t meant for small fish they’re meant to not soook big fish, and produce a sound to irritate big fish to strike. boys you have to see the amount of, and size of the smallies I’ve caught on those little guys. I can’t same the same for the bigger sizes.
River 2 sea has recently upgraded the hooks to 3x wide gap after years of complaints and people taking hooks off a $20+ bait.. if your buying one on a shelf of a major sporting goods store , the hooks are great from the package. Adrian I’ve also caught walleye in the early fall on plopper also walking baits in the same area was catching 3-4-5 pound smallmouth in the river in upstate ny before work at 5:25am still pitch dark
I thought it was my fault on the way I stored my Whopper Ploppers causing the blade to deform. After listening to you guys, now I feel better. I sold my Ploppers because of that problem. I have not bought any style Ploppers since. However, with that said, you mentioned the Berkley Choppo and gave it high ratings. I will order a couple in my favorite colors and try them out. Thanks! Great Podcast.
Larry Dahlberg has videos on youtube from back in 2009 of how he builds his original whopper ploppers. So he has been building them before that. And that category of lure has been around LONG before that... decades and decades. Larry was the first one to have that soft tail instead of metal and it had a unique sound.
New dudes a character 😂
👀
Well until I saw this video I’ve been partial to R2Sea Whopper Ploppers. Now I might have to give el choppo a try!
I feel vindicated when choppo got praise. It’s my favorite plopper style. On the 75 I will stick suspend strip to the bottom of it, seems to help hookup ratio on smallmouth. Especially when they are hitting them super hard
Awesome video and that tip MDJ gave, I was thinking about it when they were talking about the bait riding on the side, like 🤔 hmmm, i wonder if anyone of them do what I did by adding a swivel, then boom 💥 my dawg MDJ hit us with it 😂. Good stuff fellas 🍻💯✌🏼
J Mart knows what’s up. After listening to y’all, I’m gonna have to go buy a few more of those Choppos!
You should do an all around top water RTB! There is so many top water baits out there. I love me some top water action so my collection has a lot of variety to it. My new top water I’m gonna try this year is the Evergreen International Shower Blows top water bait. Y’all should give that a try and let us know what you think.
Do one on wake baits
Great video
These are so awesome. Love me some rate the bait and I loved JMart with the guest appearance and keeping it real.
I ❤these videos
Rate rate the bait
These are the best episodes!! Wait, I love the cup pitching challenge with the nasty punishments too. You all would be so darn fun to hang out with!!!
I have thrown the googan revolver a lot in various colors, and I have caught alot of bass on this bait. The hooks are great. Haven't lost or had bad hook up ratio with this bait. I think it's a good top water bait over all for clean water situations! I always appreciate you guys on rate the bait 👍
Tough
Hey I give the Berkley Choppo points over the original plopper because Berkley uses harder plastic on the tail so it doesn't wear out and start rolling over and twisting the line out of your reel🫡
Awesome
Running a plopper down a weed edge in the summer evenings/mornings is amazing I love it more than almost anything else fishing wise.
barrel swivel and split ring will help with the rolling over.. and also it will save ur line from getting trashed every blade of grass u snag
Prop baits next torpedo, Devils horse, etc...
Much fun I like to see how each of you rate the bait. Thank u for doing these videos!
Great video guys love it keep em coming. I caught them couple times on the choppo
Always look forward to rate the bait! Great content
I love fishing boat docks
This was awesome ... Love the content and the stories !
He didn’t know how to swim right. 😂😂😂
I still remember "glidin dirty"
