But i might throw it on my 7'6 powell with 65 lb braid not really sure yet. The 7 foot med veritas feels perfect for the 90 though

I throw the 130 on a Duckett 6-9 med-heavy with 50-pound braid. Either the knot will slip (doubtful) or the rod may break, but the line won't. Likely would change things for the 90 but I'll have to see what it's like when I get one.

I was by myself so i didnt take any. I caught several more on it this afternoon out of my kayak. I need to go ahead and pick up a 130 but the 90 is producing every trip

Picked up a couple from Shelton's yesterday so I guess I joined the Plopper club. I got a phantom and a bone color in the 130. My gut said I should have went with the 90 but I figured if Im throwing that thing Im going for a big fish so go big or go home.

Big ones will hit the 90, I'm sure, but I've not caught any tiny ones on the 130. Granted, I'm fishing mostly in a couple of giant neighborhood lakes (like, 60-80-100 acres or more) but like you I'm only interested in big ones. And they eat it. Will be getting some 90s soon, though.

This is kinda what I thought, If I try these and get short strikes and or catch big fish on the 130's I will go back and get some of the 90's. Im doubtful that Its gonna really become a huge staple in what I throw but in situations around grass lines Im willing to try. Do you have luck in open water on schooling fish with them too? From basically now on, but especially through the summer, when Im ledge fishing I always have a topwater handy. You never know when a school will erupt. 90% of the time I have a Bone Popper or Bone walking bait tied on in case a school fires up on the top.

Okay, I took the bait and bought two of these last nigh(I had a gift card, don't think I ever paid that much cash for a lure in the past).
I hope they work as well as mentioned on here and I haven't bought a couple of floating clorox stumps.
Both are the 90mm, one Phantom Shad and one I Know It.
Will give them a try in the morning on Lay....

10-20 wind tomorrow with clouds and rain. Keep that thing in your hand all day and you will catch a big one at lay tomorrow

I can't imagine a 3- to 5-pound spot hitting that Plopper 90, much less the bigger one. Egads.

Wind is going to be tough... I'm going to remember my rainsuit tomorrow. Went two Saturdays ago without it, got caught at noon in the shower.. Wet head to toe.. Truck showed temp at 45% when O backed in to load boat...
I am hoping one of those big ones grab ahold of this dang lure....

Well, I gave it a try on Lay yesterday morning. Nothing on the whopper. Didn't see much top water action.
I did put 14 in the boat. All on a jig and lizard. Biggest five might have made 14 pounds.
Ploppers will get another chance next time out.

I think the weather's still funky. Have decided the WP is sort of like throwing big swimbaits: it's a commitment but can pay off.

Still can't wait to see a redfish or speck eat one.

I slipped off early this morning on Jordan. Caught my first WP bass on the first cast. Caught two more in about a 30 minute span. Largest was a head about 4 pounds. Wind picked up and put too much chop on the water.
Caught 3 more on a worm before I had to get off the water around 9:30. So I am sold on the WP now.. if I can find some calm water.
