mark poulson Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 It's getting to be shad spawn time, so I decided to make a smaller plopper in a shad pattern. It swims and plops even at low speeds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I threw it all day last week. Caught a dozen+- bass, and a couple of stripers. I missed two good fish, throwing it over the grass along the levee rip rap at high outgoing tide, that didn't get the hook. I had put on #4 KVD EWG trebles, so I changed out the front hook to a #2, and didn't miss a fish from then on. The #2 hook rashed the side of the bait pretty good, because I had only put clear nail polish along the #4 hooks path. Lesson learned. When I repaint this one, and paint the other two I made today, I'll cover a lot more of the paint with the nail polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
