A popper is already a two in one bait if you throw the right ones- it's a walking bait and a popper- this one just trades that off for being a popper and a square bill. I like it but, didn't really find it to be a game changer or anything. Tbh the whole combining baits thing is getting a little outta hand- I've got a swim jig/underspin/chatter bait thing I bought just cause I wanted to see if it also had a fold out scanner/printer/fax attachment- but when I saw it didn't have a flash light as well I had to return it, that's a deal breaker.
Great video sir! I recently had the exact morning with the Prank you just showed.. right down to changing the hooks out to Fusions about 1/2 hour in.. I have come to love this bait to the point of always having one tied on now.. 4 to 5 good bloops, then a quick crank back to me whether I'm on boat, or shore.. one or the other catches them, and the bonus is at all times of day, and any type of sky I have had success as well.. Good bait to run over submerged grasses. Really calls them up nicely.. not as effective in very clear water, but even then it'll work ok inside shade lines.. recently found your channel, and have enjoyed the lessons, and honest Talk.. keep it up!!
I bought 3 of these when Gander outdoors closed in my area. You can't fish it fast like he said. Cast it, let it surface, pop it wait for it to surface again and give it another pop. If nothing has taken it they are watching it. That's when you retrieve, make it look like it's running like he said. It's a fun bait if you get them zoned in on it.
Conditions are the key with all lures. picking cloudy rain days w/o wind are perfect for the popr or any popper style bait. good content my friend. you bring a lotta new stuff on here. we will keep tuning in. thanks
This is a really good design for a popper, i'm definitely gonna be ordering one. I've always made my popper act erratic when im reeling it in and sometimes they hit it when i start reeling and twitching a lot faster, I bet they would respond better to this submersive style evasion. Judging by this video that lip might be a game changer on tough days.
I just recently bought several of these baits because I love using a popR, but while chasing schooling fish I found it isn't the right one. This will be killer in the fall when I'm fishing my popping baits slower. Thanks for the video, I can't wait to catch them on the Prank.
Oh man, I found one of those a while back that someone had lost in a laydown. I've never really been sure how to fish it. I was perplexed by the bill. Now I can't wait to go give it another shot.
I've been using the prank for about a year. I change out my hooks on almost every crankbait, but I didnt on the prank. Just like you said the hooks ate bad. I put on some gamakatsu and it immediately increased my hookups.
One of my favorite baits but this is the first legit video I’ve seen about them. I’ve seen Zell talk about it but I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Thanks!
This is a very good bait actually!!! I’ had them since they first came out and have caught many bass on them!! Be sure to get the chrome with black back PRANK, it is a great lure!! I have several of all colors and love them!!!
Picked a couple of the Pranks up never gave me the warm and fuzzy response I get with a chugger bait. You mentioned you can’t pop it quickly because it dives . I’m going to have to dig it out again and revise my technique / retrieve . I fish a lot of moving water most the time and you only get a few good pops in. This video got my Curiosity now 🤔
I found one of these at walmart last year and when I took it to cash out they said they didnt even sell them and gave it to me for a couple bucks, it's the only one I've ever seen and i never hear anyone talk about them. I fished it more when i first got it and caught a couple decent ones on it but i have so many baits Its kinda been neglected, might have to tie it on next time.
I actually received one of these in a MONSTERBASS box a few months ago and haven’t fished it cause I thought it was gimmicky lol. Maybe I take it serious now lol. Thanks for sharing.
man I have that same bait the first time I took it out I saw it do what you were just talking about diving under the water I thought I was doing something wrong
Yea I got mine from one of those boxes too. Tried it a few times but soo glad I saw this video because I didn't really know how to fish it. I gotta try it again. I think I was trying to fish it more like a crankbait and it just wasn't working for me.
I know this bait looks a little bit gimmicky but it's no joke the pond I fish has a lot of scattered grass and this is perfect for fishing around it my favorite lure for when there's busting bait fish!
Yeah I've been curious about trying the Prank. Guess I'll definitely be getting it now. Looks like it works great! Which Fusion trebles do you use? EWG, Med Shank EWG, or the 1x?
The smallest blowup of my entire time fishing was a 5 and a half pound bass on a whopper plopper at 930 at night thought I hit a log floating in the water or something was my new pb
Oh? Looks like I need to get me one of these... Haven't have any luck with the cheap top water frog from Walmart at all so hopefully this can change the tide
Remember to wait 1-2 seconds before setting the hook with the frog, and if that doesn’t work, maybe try a higher quality frog( or this popper, it looks awesome). Tight lines🎣
How long of a leader do you tie? Does it depend on the type of fishing you are doing? I've heard Latimer say he always goes 2 arms lengths stretch and then another 1 arm stretch. But other guys say may go longer depending...thanks...good stuff man👍
@@ryanraddin9568 the only reason he is even using one is to keep the treble hooks from tangling in the braid. Aside from that I’d say there’s not much use in it really. I’ve tried everything with or without a leader and the only difference I’ve ever noticed is that. The rest of the time I run either straight braid or what I call half and half, half a spool of braid with half a spool of mono or fluorocarbon on top.
Omfg! Got two of these yesterday and tried them tonight and they straight up catch fish! Back to back! This lure produces I believe in it and will go back for more colors and spares and back ups to the spares
@@alexbeavers5148 - It would be helpful to others to state where you found them in stock. My comment was meant to suggest making a note of the lure for later purchase.
Heyyy man where can i grab one of those finn fishing shirts? I'm having a baby girl in less than a week and her name is finn, would really appreciate it man. God bless 🙌

The print quality of a printer under water probably wouldn't be that good
Man, that was a perfect weather condition top water day!!

Spent $20+ on a Rico Popper. Fish like it. Saw a guy that used a block of wood topwater. Fish liked it. ?
Marling baits did the block of wood lure....Bass eat anything...From a piece of orange peel on a worm hook...to a cigarette butt on a worm hook...lol

I immediately knew from the thumbnail. This is my favorite popper! It works EXTREMELY well in pressured water because they haven't seen it before
Summer gill works really well in clear water

The perfect combo of popper and Crankbait. Getting a few for my Sons and I.

The old Zell Roland super pop r is my favorite of all time. Got my PB on the Blue Dart color
Interesting lure. Thanks for sharing. Innovation drives success. Thanks for the reminder on changing hooks.

Man I’m a pretty new subscriber and I’m also pretty sure you’ve got the MOST informative bass fishing channel out there.
I'm gonna have to pick up a few of these. They look like they work very well. Gotta love the topwater bites.

In my experience, largemouth bass love to smash the Storm Chug Bug (shad variety).
love the Owner treble hooks!
That lure is amazing
I got one in my icast Monsterbass box in 2019 and it has been my favorite popper ever since.
Zell made a living with the Pop-R. This baits probably pretty good. Think we should replace the hooks? :-)
I was thinking the same thing
He literally just said you should.
@@MrEazyE357 Yeah, about 15 times. :-)
Dude your hilarious. Awesome content! Love the videos keep it up bro
I love poppers, I have a entire box full of them. Have a lucky craft I like and the old school hula poppers seem to work well but won't cast very far.
Agreed...Hulas dont cast very far...That's why I love using Zara spooks...They cast a mile...
Dang, looks good. Never heard of those. Gonna check em out. I do like a good popper.

Bass pro sells them
There's a poper with a lip just like that but has a prop on the back as well. You should check it out

the prank from monsterbass i got took one time throwing to become my favorite! it absolutely kills em
I subscribed to your channel the other day in fact I subscribed after watching just one video great information and it is delivered well
Awesome video! I hope we will be able to get that bait kn South Africa. What rod and reel did you use? I know it was a medium rod with 30 pound braid.
Been out for a while. Ganis in wit Bank has them. Definitely worth using.
man I have that same bait the first time I took it out I saw it do what you were just talking about diving under the water I thought I was doing something wrong
This design popper was first designed by Lance Butler a Barramundi Guide who resides in Northern Queensland Australia...regards B.J.
I have one of these ‘coz it came in my MTB Box. I’ve never tied it on …… that’s about to change 😃 Thanks for this video !!!
Yea I got mine from one of those boxes too. Tried it a few times but soo glad I saw this video because I didn't really know how to fish it. I gotta try it again. I think I was trying to fish it more like a crankbait and it just wasn't working for me.
Those have an mtb excluseive color as well!
Great videos, one line do you use? I use 10lb floro on spinning tackle and it doesn't seem to work right any suggestions?
Thanks
Some poppers you can also just reel in like a crank and it has a good action like a sub surface crank. Im sure the prank does it even better
I know this bait looks a little bit gimmicky but it's no joke the pond I fish has a lot of scattered grass and this is perfect for fishing around it my favorite lure for when there's busting bait fish!
So jealous of those catches. The bass where I live just plain do not bite poppers and frogs any time of the day/year
That is a sweet lure 😮
I may have to give this one a try..
Reminds me of the old Billy Bass lure.
I got one of these lures going have to try to throw it more
Lost a big fish yesterday due to the original hooks. Wish I would of seen this before. Would of been my first fish ever at a lake near my house.
Yeah I've been curious about trying the Prank. Guess I'll definitely be getting it now. Looks like it works great!

Bass pro and midway usa have several colors in stock, doesn't seem to be "sold out"
Do you use the berkley fusion EWG hooks or the non EWG hooks.
Oh? Looks like I need to get me one of these... Haven't have any luck with the cheap top water frog from Walmart at all so hopefully this can change the tide

@@adubclub ahh ok...I guess I missed that part. Thx
@@adubclub man 1 foot seems really short for a leader. Is that typical?

I always use a really short leader for
Topwaters. No need to have a long one. Other lures I use on spinning gear, I will use longer leaders, 6-10 ft
I’ve had good blow ups on a jointed minnow too. You never hear people talking about them….multiple species of big fish!
It would nice if you linked what rod, reel, and line your using in the descriptions.
Crazy lure
pop walk n plopppp ittttt 🎶

You gonna be fishing any tournaments soon Tyler?
fun bait, I love it
Bagus sekali lurenya
Solid video, thanks
you should be using hook protectors/ they also keep your lures from grabbing everything else
Damn , all sold out already 😭 Must be the JUICE!
I want one where do I get one
What state do you fish in ???
How do you cast one handed like that lol I would throw my rod in the water
Fax
What name topwater bait
Gonna have to go get me a Prank bait
At the end of your videos you should describe the gear
your using for the particular technique.
I talk about it during the middle of the video
@@BassFishingHQ Sorry I must have missed it. Damn dog!!
Trying to find some of them. So far no luck…out of stock.
Don’t need any music. Fishing video does need music. Just fishing and fishing tips. That’s all I need
How deep can go ?
Completely sold out everywhere. So this is something to remember for December in preparation for the next summer.
Not sold out most places i checked

Dude sounds like Owen Wilson for trues straight up diggity.
So much better than Matt from tactical assin'.
Literally
The popper I make can pop, walk the dog and go under water when fished aggressivly.

You ever try a shower blows?
It’s not the hooks you can lose bass on the best hooks in world
Love your videos, but not a fan of the way you release the fish. 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you the content
Who is the complete doofus with the thumbs down?
