- This use to be one of the most talked about baits 10 years ago but now all you hear is crickets. Sometimes this happens to baits and I love when it happens because thats when they get good again. Here is why this one bait will catch fish when others won't.

MY PROFILE:
I started fishing when I was just a young kid and instantly fell in love with Bass Fishing. Started fishing tournaments when I was in high school and have been fishing them ever since. For years I fished every tournament I could enter sometimes fishing as many as 45 tournaments a year. I qualified for the Elites when I was 30 but didn't have the sponsors or money to compete so I turned it down. Got sponsor support later and fished the FLW Tour for 2 years and having been fishing the Toyotas since 2006. I’ve won 5 Angler of the Year Titles becoming the only fishermen to have more than 3 AOYs in the Toyota series. Won numerous events along the way that has helped shape my way into working for Strike King as head of product innovation. Along the way, I picked up a camera and started filming my endeavors. I have now fallen in love with making videos about fishing and delivering it to you. Follow along the journey...it should be an honest and fun ride!
KVD could tell the difference because he was unhooking a fish in an elite series tournament calling his a Strike King splash but you could clearly read Yellow magic magnum on the back of it.
🤫 kvd only uses strike king product 😂
I still throw my 20 year old yellow majics. The finish has held up. Just change the hooks when needed - feather wears out.
I prefer this video hands down over any controversy videos you do..Much appreciated..
I used to like the Excalibur Super Pop-R. This was in the mid to late nineties.
man I just scored at a garage on mystic shads and poppers
Loved all the Excalibur lures back then.
I don't know how many times I just couldn't get a bite on an underwater bait, but skittering a PopR always gets me bit.
Lobina rico - walk the dog real slow with pauses in between. IFKYK!
I used to go to Rayburn with my buddy who fished professionally. When he was testing a new top water he would ask me to throw my bone Yellow Magic. He knew if he could out do the Magic he had a good lure. I caught a ton with the Magic and it was also easier to get distance than a popper. I’ll have to give the Berkley Splash a try. Thanks for another great video, Tod.
Strike King Splash….
Thats awesome. I was fishing one on chickamauga one time in harrison bay. I caught 2 6lbers, and 2 5lbers on it over the course of 2 days, and then I was fishing a fluke and a wacky senko to fill out limit. My buddy was fishing a popper as well in the same general area, and he said he couldn't catch anything but dinks. We started comparing after the tourney and the only thing different really was that he was fishing it as a popper....like real distinct bloops and pauses. I was not at all.....I was walking it, and shaking it in place. There is definitely something to what you are saying about using it more as a walking bait than like a traditional popper.
100% agree I throw a chugbug quite a bit also but man this bait catches them and to me cast much better especially when compared to the old pop-r.... Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Got them Ricco Picco yellow magic.
The best times I've found to throw a popper (not counting pencil poppers in this) is in the fall when the buzzbait bite and crankbait style wake bait starts to die off and early prespawn when the fish first start to move up. For me it seems a popper or a popping frog are usually the first topwaters that start working in late winter/early spring and usually the last topwaters to stop working in late fall/early winter. Typically in the fall, I've had best luck with a Lobina or Pop x/max. Though for the price it's hard to beat the Strike King and Booyah version they walk very easily. In the early part of the year I have yet to find a popper better than the Deps Pulsecod. I've got a few reels that probably have 3ish year old Xplasma on it. Still has it's color and a surprising amount of stiffness for how long it has been on them. Xplasma and Daiwa Samurai are the best casting reel 8 carrier braids I've ever used.
I have always liked fishing poppers real fast ,infact I caught an over the slot fish in the skeeter owners tourney on fork in 6 inches of water about ten years ago or longer time flies! I was using the bigger yellow magic tryinhg to catch a big under.
Thanks Todd, good video brother!
That sure doesn’t look like Table Rock 😂😂. I wasn’t wearing shorts there today. Good luck this weekend sir!
Dude I love that plug my favorite was the old Zell pop,my buddy called it the meat getter,but the splash and the jr and definitely a go to when it gets tough,the braid tip I'm gunna have to do,makes total sense
*glances at my mono spools that have been on there for 3 years* :)
Had a awesome Buzzbait Bite this year, 1/4 oz. Then is got slow. Tied that Bigger one on and it was lights out.
The Jr. can be a day saver up here in North Central Wisconsin!
Man I love how simple you keep it Todd! I do like a short mono leader…. More abrasion resistant when those dick head pickerel eat it.
Great bait. Had luck with it this summer on clear, pressured lakes. Love the rod too! Have one and just got my 2nd thunder cricket rod. That's what I throw redeye on. Watch all your vids.. Keep up the good work and good luck in the tourneys!
Popper is a great clean up bait. I should throw it more then I do
Thanks Todd for sharing i have a lot of the rebel pop r would you say they are very similar?
Hopefully a new series coming. Congrats
Man that green gizzard shad in the KVD splash 🔥 🔥 😮💨
In my experience, in the northeast, adding a short (~1ft) monofilament leader might help in two ways. First, it eliminates annoying fowling of the braid with the treble hooks. Second, if you get bit by a toothy fish (pike, pickerel), it reduce the chances that the braid gets torn by the teeth of the offending fish.
There is a trick I got from Hideki Maeda (owner of Teckel Lures). Slide a bobber stop/peg on the line, then slide a clear uncut spinnerbait blade spacer or a coffee stirrer straw on the line it works great for all topwater hard baits.
We talk about poppers all the on different live stream. I only use yellow magic, ricco, the old pop r, cp-r, dream pop.
Didn’t realize the kid splash came in a smaller size. I’ve been throwing those rio Rico’s. I’ll have to keep my eyes out for them.
BRO I JUST FOUND U…WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR YOU ARE!!! I AM VERY MUCH LIKE YOU, IF SOMETHING IS WORKING FOR ME DONT TELL ME NOT TO DO IT!!! LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS!! 🫵🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You throwing that pre-spawn?
What's your review of the force after a season? Love mine way more than the ultrex
Fishing the braid all year do you have issues with it cutting into your guides ?
Never
If you were wondering who that idiot was honking and waving in Conway Arkansas last Friday. Well, now you know. Lol
I bought a strike king popper that was in a red packaging like 10 years ago. It was different than the splash and it was in the green gizzard shad color. I broke it off this year and wasn’t able to get it back. Anybody know what that could of been?
Just another topic to talk about. How would you start fishing or attack a deep water reservoir with tons of grass and is very clear. When I say deep you could be off shore 20 yards and be sitting in 50-60 feet of water.
Figure it out bud. That's fishin
Duude...just giving out all the juice lol
Thanks going to try it
Popper is one of the 1st baits I throw... or a walking bait
I bet it is cold up there at table rock buddy
18$ try 60$-100$ for a Michaels. A poper out of Japan that some made it into the states. It spit and didnt chug. Out west it was for real. I won a Michaels in a poker game at 15 years old. Yes it was named after Michael Jackson... lol
Then why not use a small silent walking bait?
It’s not the same
You ok no info on table rock. Not like you hope all is ok. 🙏
Yea I’m good I’ll talk about it a bunch. A lot went on and it was all good. Might not be interesting for most but for me it was great
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Good deal never have seen a 0 for you. Was worried something personal happened Glad all is good
Yea I threw them back only had 2 for 5 pounds on day 1 and threw a limit back on day 2 no reason to weigh in
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Figured it was something was really thinking engine troubles. Knew you didn’t 0 anyhow can’t wait for the vid. Learned a lot from your vids thanks
RICOs anyone????
Yes, sir, the might might RICO son of the MICHAEL'S out of Japan...

@@MrJNOTHUM They are legendary here in AZ...
