Cheapest Whopper Plopper on Ebay! Will it Catch?

For this video i decided to purchase the cheapest whopper plopper bait i could find on eBay. I took the bait for the local canal to give it a good test and to see if it was worth the few quid i paid for it. It was definitely worth it! I had some great action from pike blowing up the bait and also had a few perch too! Hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to subscribe to see more!

Hey man those cheap whopper poppers work just fine. I got a handful of them a while back and I've caught several bass on them. I'm from the states and the only pike around are 3 hrs away up in northern Arizona. Anyway point being they work just as good as my real ploppers.great vids man keep em coming.

Loving it chris👍 wish the sodding tees was as gd I seem to be 1 of very few pike anglers seen these days 😭

[@andrewwarburton3943]

Another brilliant film buddy. Beautiful stretch of canal you have there. Reckon I'm going to have to shell out a few quid on a couple of those "whopper poppers" (i love the visual aspect of surface takes) my bit of canal here in Edinburgh has a lot of weed making subsurface fishing difficult at times. I've often wondered if they'd be any good in saltwater for seatrout and bass.

[@UKFishingFinesse]

Consistency is key 👌🏾 keep up the good work lad!

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Great catch on the whopper plopper Chris!

I bought a similar one and it worked pretty well in lakes and summer

[@anytimefishingandoutdoors6983]

I love doing top water northern pike vids. Awesome content as always.

[@tonydization]

Great fun GF but why not press those barbs down especially on those trebles. For the sake of the odd loss it will save damage to fish, make unhooking and untangling a whole lot easier.

[@cjshake]

Don’t know why but I have never felt confident with surface baits for pike or perch

[@Ironsmiler]

Me neither mate. Mainly because I've never had a bite!

[@casinodelonge]

I never was but I saw the cheapo frog and because I knew I had a couple in my bag took them down to a canal that was so weedy it was the only way of fishing it. I had 3 pike and 3 missed miss and it was a decent little session. So I was full of confidence the next time, and promptly blanked.

[@dmcgee7431]

@@Ironsmiler on a sunny day, go to reeds or Lilly pass at about 6pm when it just starts to cool down, you’ll get plenty of bites on ducks or whopper ploppers

[@BostinAngling]

Some nice fish as always. The fish I caught in latest video had red blotches all over it, like it had been kept in a keepnet and stressed out. Not sure what to make of it to be fair, wonder if it water quality, less oxygen etc from warmer weather... I'm just going to be careful, might go back to targeting other fish for while.

[@hanspeteraeschbach8797]

😁👌Plopper Plopper Nice Nice👍

[@Dafaq1]

Amateur here and have a noob question. I see that you don't use a wire trace leader and instead I believe it's a fishing crimp at the end? Is that enough protection from a fish chewing your line off?

[@JoshLeher]

Bit late sorry but he is actually using a trace, always use a wire trace for pike!

[@mattthecasualgamer]

Take it not many or no boats use that canal? Here in Milton Keynes on the Grand Union they are non stop and water colour is like coffee with all the silt that's stirred up.

[@heyitsmetrousers4399]

Same on the Leeds to Liverpool canal but today was crystal clear for a change with only a few boats passing.

[@djs9732]

What’s the name of the net and handle mate?

[@frags69]

Does water depth make a difference? I notice you fish shallow canals, but the canal near me is 16ft deep in places, and I've never had any success on any surface lure (rats, frogs or poppers) so no longer have confidence in them.

[@Wastingtime689]

Water depth makes a huge difference. In addition, water temperature, clarity, current speed, bottom type, habitat availability, and a host of other factors will affect whether or not a fish is likely to hit a particular lure.

[@frags69]

@@Wastingtime689 I started fishing and different canal, different habitat and only 2m depth...... instantly different as pike, perch, chub and trout hit the lure on all of my surface lures. Definitely learning lessons!

[@mattcarpandpikeangler2373]

What part of the canal do you fish

[@jimmyfireball]

I always see much debate on fishing forums/Facebook pages on whether pike should be targeted in the summer. I myself am undecided.

[@janb7125]

Which rod are you fishing?:)

[@mattandsharks]

I went down to my local canal today. I used frog lures, micro lures, whopper ploppers, shads, paddle tails, weedless......I didn't even get a bite in 4 hours. How do you catch all these fish?!

Hiya ginge, my local river Tees is in places 30+ feet deep, I've been out on my kayak several times, and I've spotted fish at about half depth, I wasn't fishing at the time just curious as it's almost on my doorstep and I don't get much free time lately, how would you approach a river 30-40 feet deep in places proper urban setting brick walls etc so no shallows you're straight into deep water, any advice would be appreciated, moved from Boroughbridge earlier in the year where quite frankly I was spoilt by the pike fishing on the ure and local canal.

[@ejayman]

I'm far from an authority on it, but I used to get some decent pike in a fairly deep river local to me using a deep-diving plug that had rattling ball bearing in it.
