Dear Berkley, the Kelly’s Outdoors just sold a couple of Choppos. Broke off a Whopper Plopper a few weeks back. That price tag makes it hurt. Thanks for reviewing something to ease my lure addiction guilt. 👊🏻

[@TKOutdoors]

That's funny, these sure are expensive. But with that said we all have hobbies or interests we spend even more on. Boy if I had all the money back I've spent on fishing tackle over the years.

[@TKOutdoors]

That's sounds like a neat idea!

[@norcalimages]

Yes they did i just picked up a couple at the local tackle store going to throw them tomorrow on the CA delta

The Choppos are great. I have the ghost bluegill in a 75, a bone 105, and every color under the sun in a 120. Great lures.

[@Shurmash]

Caught my first largmouth bass on a Whopper plopper a few days ago.

[@TKOutdoors]

Once you start it's hard to put it down. I can't believe how many bass I've caught on it. Just wondering when I'll catch a big one.

[@TKOutdoors]

I have a bigger one I plan on throwing to see if it produces bigger fish.

I love the whopper plopper and similar style lures. Never had issues with hooks or split rings. Choppo is louder but you can slow it down to make it quieter.

[@TKOutdoors]

Thanks man, I've had a few people point that out. I've just learned to fish the way I do because of all the swift flowing rivers with over hanging branches. Overhead casting doesn't work well here unless you are on a open lake.

[@TNally135]

I love this river it looks so pretty

[@TKOutdoors]

It is a beautiful river!

[@bdaquatics7584]

I bought a choppo a few days ago and I've never fished a whopper plopper. I finally got to try it out today and had one of the best days of top water I've had in a long time. I caught a couple nice ones one being over 6 pounds. Goodbye buzz baits! Lol

[@TKOutdoors]

I totally understand, I've been a huge buzz bait fan! However these types of baits produce well for me. The buzz bait still shines in vegetation over the choppo or plopper. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bradfarren3049]

What I’ve found is just opposite, I believe the WP (130, 110 & 75 models) to be louder a lot louder than the Berkley CheapO. I’ve had problems with the hooks bending out and also breaking on the Berkley, though they are extremely sharp. A very helpful tip I stumbled across to help with line twist and keep the baits from twisting/spinning when the baits tail section becomes bent and or fouled up is to add a split ring and swivel to the bait. -Brad

[@TKOutdoors]

I agree with everything you said, but I noticed that you left the whopper plopper 90 series off of your list. That's the model I throw the most and it has the smallest tail of all of them. It is with out a doubt the quieter bait. I catch more on the 90 than the 75 or the choppo. I'm going to do a direct comparison soon between the same size and color choppo and plopper to test my theory. Going to fish them at the same time as well.

[@Mangobrain82]

The Kelley's Outdoors I catch a lot of fish on the 90. Lot of guys talk it down though but I’ve never had an issue catching when they’re on.

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

Great day on the water for sure 👍🏻

[@TKOutdoors]

Yes it was!

[@gregjohnston6987]

Great video! My wife and I have a honey hole as well where the WP 75 & 110 shine over the 90 & 130. They really like the Bone & even more so the Perch WP. I've looked at the Bluegill Choppo like you used in this video since it's obvious that's the main forage in our spot. The Frog pattern looks nice as well. Keep the good videos coming!

[@TKOutdoors]

My go to plopper is the loon 90. It absolutely works when nothing else does. I think they all have their strengths in certain situations and depending on what you are targeting. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gregjohnston6987]

@@TKOutdoors I agree. Loon is probably the best WP for most situations. It catches the most fish for us too. (Mostly stained to muddy water in Texas) It's just that one spot where it's ultra clear which is rare in our area that they like more realistic or just more white on baits.

[@TKOutdoors]

Clear rivers are pretty rare here as well. Most of our rivers are very dark tea colored. I have a bluegill colored whopper plopper I do pretty well on too

I bought a bone choppo yesterday while getting hurricane supplies at Wally World. Found an hour between rain and caught 3 nice bass. It is louder for sure, but almost has a POP-R at 350 rpms kind of a sound. I was in the middle of my second cast wondering if it made get be too loud when that 4 pounder hammered it. I will be buying several more.

Thanks for the review. 6 small fish and the hook bends. I'll get a choppo but I'm putting thicker trebs on

[@TKOutdoors]

Isn't any better with the whopper plopper. Video after video I loose hooks due to crappy snap rings. You pay this much for either bait you expect quality. They work, but they do need upgrades.

[@jigsawalwayswins8636]

I havent had any problems with the plopper so far but I'm throwing the 3 oz one so the hooks are already sturdy

[@TKOutdoors]

I'm throwing the smaller 90 series most of the time.

Maybe It could be as simple as grabbing the hook with needle nose and shaking it every fish could bend it slightly. 🤔

Appreciate the kind words, I've never really paid attention to the way I cast until people started mentioning it on KZbin. Yes it's definitely years of practice and fishing a bunch of rivers with low hanging limbs. Overhead casting is my least used technique because I'd be hung up in the trees all day. Thanks for watching!

Good Musky lure as well!

[@chadwakeman7513]

I have both in my tackle box and I have caught fish on both. the choppo is a better selling point but basically the same concept

[@r.barefoot8386]

I haven’t tried the choppo yet, but I can see how both could work well in different scenarios. Sometimes louder is better or higher pitch instead of a lower pitch. I will say the WP 75 is a killer in clear, pressured or cold water. If you haven’t tried throwing the WP 75 on a warmer winter day...give it a shot and see 👍.

[@TKOutdoors]

I have a 75 and have had decent luck with it, but the softer 90 series is my #1 confidence bait all spring and summer long. That smaller softer sounding tail on the 90 plopper is the ticket here in Florida. However I did a direct comparison one day with the choppo and plopper side by side and surprisingly the choppo won. That video is on my channel if you want to check it out. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@r.barefoot8386]

I prefer plopper over choppo. What I did with my choppo was I took a lighter to the tail until it got a lil soft and then I just repositioned it.

Red breast sunfish... We call them red belly and they are usually much darker in the other dark water rivers we fish. Yes we eat them, probably the best tasting pan fish in our area.

well You can catch a 7 pounder on a whopper plopper as well. You can catch a 7 pounder on any bait that fish. it is in how you present the bait and what is the conditions that you are fishing.

[@TKOutdoors]

Of course, I see plenty of people on KZbin catching big ones on ploppers. In one of my earlier videos I broke off a 5-6 pounder on a plopper. I'll eventually get a good one with the bait. It really doesn't matter to me, I just enjoy being outdoors fishing.

And I agree. I too like being out on the water and fishing. I m always learning something new. but for some one to say that they will stick to the whopper plopper because it catches better quality of fish, is kind of closed minded. YOu have to be able to expand your horizons

What type of Line are you using LB ?

[@TKOutdoors]

30lb Berkley power pro

[@MLCAgaming]

Where is this place? Seems amazing!

[@TKOutdoors]

North Florida

[@CamdenBakerFishing]

The berkley one is way better. I love it way more

[@TKOutdoors]

I fished them same day back to back in a video I just released and the whopper plopper was the clear winner. It was slick calm so I think the quieter plopper was more appealing. I think the louder choppo will be the right choice for windy or choppy days.

[@kingghidorah7104]

Choppos are awesome, performs just as well and cheaper. How can you go wrong?

[@TKOutdoors]

I really was thinking the same thing, however wait until you see my video coming out Tuesday. I fish them the same place and day. I was surprised to see the results.

[@GabrielIvanflyesfishing]

Foarte interesant 🧐😅😅🤔

[@CMDAVISs]

looks like a nice place where u fishing out of ? anyways im seeing alot of guys throw the choppo and like it better and they have won some tournamnts. I actually dont like the tail on the whopper plopper because it can change its shape and ruin the action of the bait and some just come out the pack not as good as others.

[@TKOutdoors]

I like them both.... But I've caught more on the plopper.

[@joelee5067]

The bass pro shop xps double down plopper is better than the Choppo & Whopper plopper.

[@TKOutdoors]

Never used one, I'll have to check it out

[@CentralCoastBass]

Nice video and about time someone uses another bait. Whopper plopper videos are getting old.

[@TKOutdoors]

Well about that 😃... My next video I fish both same place and day. Let's just say I'm not throwing away my ploppers.

[@Twangtown7]

Man those are some pretty 'gills.

[@TKOutdoors]

Yes they are! Thanks for watching!
