The skitterpop will do what you want, especially with a little slack in the line, the line close to the top of the tie, and a pull rather than snap, especially when you reel a quarter crank while pulling. The blurp and bloop just catches them better than a splash or spray/spit.

It sure does.

I mainly fish Yellow Magics, Ricos, Splash It's, basically the baits I mentioned in my first post. To me, they aren't "blooping" baits by nature. Most of the baits with a severe overbite spit and make more of a "chh, chh, chh, swish" sound. They are great baits and usually walk really well but not what I would consider a "blooping" popper.

 

No, I agree, they certainly want to spit more than bloop, or blurp, but they'll do it. The newer yellow magics (in the plastic cases like Ricos) don't spit as much as the older ones, and are balanced a bit different. There are 3 different ones. Much like crankbaits, most have a personality. I've found the Iovinos to be the most consistent. My Michael's and early Ricos, are by far the best spitters, but they all work well. The feathers are the key. I got a hold of one of Zell Rowland's Pop Rs, and started modifying them in a similar fashion. I find I like even less lower lip than he did. I usually pick up older versions at flea markets and widdle them with a knife,they are convinced they are JDM...
