I too have been bit by the whooper plopped craze. I received my first 90 in loon about a year ago. went out on a cold fall day and caught the poop out of the bass. since that time i have purchased the 130 in the black/yellow color and havent caught a dang fish on it all year. Nor have i caught any on the 90. Im still going to give it one more season and i think that im going to try the monkeybutt color. Hahahahaha.... i just think that name is the funniest, and they say that it is supposed to be a color that imitates shad. I have really thought about putting a single hook on my ploppers to see if they will run through grass a little better.
