Great video Matt!!! Thanks for showing the differences between the two. I know you said to use braid with the Whopper Plopper but what line and pound do use use on the Choppo?,I do use the braid when throwing the Plopper. Best to you at Eufaula!!! 😎🙏 Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍
Thank you sir! Typically it’s braid as well but you could definitely get away with a flouro!
Loved the video. I have been using the 75 choppo. It's the same length as the wp90 but a tad thicker. It works pretty good in pressured ponds from the shore. I appreciate what you do. Good luck at Eufaula.
Thanks Matt. For what it’s worth, I keep a little dental floss in the boat to clear out those tiny pieces of debris that screw up the plop. Kinda crazy, but saves time.
I’m a plopper fan and when fall arrives I switch to my homemade buzzbait. Straight black and white.
You know I used to throw the Whopper Plopper all summer long and without fail I would connect. Unfortunately, after everyone found out about them the bite just fell off and I have been going back to a spook. It sucks because the strikes are a lot of fun. I always ran them on braid for the reasons you had said. Perhaps it is time to break them back out again.
Great videos Matt, keep them coming.
I found 2 R2S Whopper Ploppers and a Choppo. I have tried both brands and the Choppo has trouble staying in the water; it pops out, slow start-up. Retired it. It also spins so I had to put a swivel on it.
Hey Matt another good video. Fished them a little. My question is I am trying to find out how to become a boat official for next year. If you can help with that. Thank you. P.A. old guy
Appreciate you watching! I would ask Kim!

I like those Whopper poppers and yes I did hear it when you were you in it during that popping noise
I think they’re basically exactly the same Berkeley just decided to start making them too
hey Matt, it’s still a toss up for me. obviously, I’ve used the plopper for longer than choppo. However, for some reason, last yr I’ve had more luck on Choppo especially the bone color.
The 90 Choppo in Bone has been my best producing bait this year. Literally won’t go without throwing it.
so which do you prefer post spawn? Plopper style or buzzbait.......
Both, just depends on the cover! If there’s more grass around then the buzzbait!
Why u didn’t drag the choppo a couple times?
I did! They are back to back in the video… check the text on th screen!
Never fished the Whopper Plopper but I started fishing the Choppo this year and I have smoked them on it. Started with the 90 and I have caught more bass on the Choppo 90 in Bone this year than everything else I’ve thrown combined.
I’ve thrown the larger ones a little but they didn’t get me the bites the 90 has on the small ponds I bank fish. The 90 has caught me bass when nothing else would even get a bite.
Also, I’ve never had a Choppo break. I’ve bounced them off of everything and ripped them out of trees with zero issues.
Good to hear!
