Fyi those whopper ploppers are on sale at field and stream for $10 I believe it's buy 2 get one 90mm free
Holy crap. Ten bucks? For the big size, the 130? I'd wet my pants if I found them on sale for $10.
And as noted, they were designed by Larry Dahlberg for big game: muskie, pike and other big fish. Bass guys started throwing them several years ago and then word started getting out.
They'll hold up to stripers. Would love to get on some of those for sure.
