So far I've kept a slow steady retrieve bc if I speed up any the prop on it don't turn good and it turns up on it's side. This is why I don't like the 90, the small one. I have to wind it slow to get the plop-plop-plop sound and if anything happens - wave, line gets underwater, speed up - it stops working correctly. I've retrieved it by burning, going fast, moderate, slow enough to plop and even slower. I'm not sold on the 90 yet, but won't give up. But the 130, I love. Throw, wind it fast and the eat it. The 90 is my bread and butter i havent ran into the rolling issue Same.

One reason I was wondering about adding a split ring to the smaller 90. May have to try that next. Just gotta keep throwing it.

I have thrown the WP very little but I didn't have any problem with the 90 rolling over. I tried all manners of retrieve. I tie a canoe man loop knot on all my crankbaits and topwater baits that have a solid ring to tie to.

I use a twitch and stop retrieve. Seems to work the best for me. I've tried the slow retrieve but have a problem keeping it on top of the water with as far as you can throw the danger thing. It's a fish catching machine, I'll say that.

It's a floating bait so it won't sink. If you stop the retrieve the tail sinks, on a diagonal, and then it starts up again once you begin the retrieve.
I throw the 130 as far as I can. Flies like a missile on 30-pound braid.

Better fish below the dam for fewer boats this weekend. At least one big tourney on the pond, I think that starts Friday. Maybe Saturday. Either way, bunch of boats.

Dang...oh well. The lake is at full pool right now. Should be on fire this weekend.

Got to my buddy's property about 5:30 to walk and look for tracks and listen for turkeys. About 6:30 I started throwing the WP 90 in his lake.
Had a near/2-pounder hit it and damned near scared me. It sucked in the back treble to the back of its tongue and the front one was jammed under its jaw on the outside, somehow. I don't know how that happened but it was hell getting the hooks out without tearing its throat apart.
I thought it was a bigger fish at first. Jeepers.
Stopped by his other lake on the way out and caught four or five squeakers and one that was maybe 1.5 pounds. It did the same thing as the first one. Almost killed it trying to get the hooks out.
Damnation, topwaters are fun.
