Fishing ? Instructor!
So I keep throwing the plopper pretty much exclusively in the 90 size. The thing GETS BIT. One Of My Best Producing Topwater lures other than a buzzbait or Rebel T-10. Problem Is Fish Keep Coming Unbuttoned. I've lost maybe 5 bass over 3lbs in just 2 days. Hooks are sharp so that isn't the issue. I'm throwing it on A Duckett Terex 7'6" MH Crankin rod and 30lb straight braid. Fighting the fish is fine, but I've had 4 out of 5 jump and spit the lure at the bank and one come off trying to flip him on the bank. What gives? They're fine until I get them in and then they jump and come off. I try to keep the rod tip down to keep them from jumping and some still come off at the bank. Also it spins in the water after a long cast until all the line is off the water but that is a lesser issue.
