I would guess it has to do with inventory management integration with Bass Pro Shops. You should actually be thanking them, they knocked the bait monkey off your back for you!

I agree, but the bait monkey just moved to Tackle Warehouse!!   I was charged a $206 moving fee on Sunday.   He offered a tax day discount.   Filthy primate!!!!!

I was just gonna say the same thing! If you search, they actually have 90’s and 110’s as well for $9.99

Nice find on the whopper ploppers!  Ordered 2!

I never know what size to order in these things.  I have a 90 that hasn't gotten wet yet, but I need to fill out my topwater box a little more. 

I like the 90's enough that I have not sprung for any of the 110's yet.  They do take a foot or three to start running, but as long as I can keep my line off the water I have never had a real issue with them.

Good basic color recommendation?  Bout like a spook, one bone, one shiny, maybe one black?  I have one in the "I know it" color that I found on a closeout rack at a local store for cheap.  Honestly, I've always thought of these as something to throw when the fish are slapping at your buzzbait, but won't bite.  Kinda praying the trebles get a grip.

[Bait Monkey] You need those 130's for breaking stripers though....

 

 

thanks for heads up, just ordered a few whopper ploppers!

Ha, I actually have a pair of 130's and even have a combo for throwing them on, just waiting for trolling season to start.  I don't use them much for freshwater fishing though.

That is exactly the three I have, the T1000 color being the "shiny".  I have never noticed a difference in hit rates of one color over the other though.  

Great deal on the ploppers!

Here, I’ll save you all a little more at academy on the whopper ploppers. Use code CC201820PCT (found it on Lunkerdeals.com) for an extra 20% off. Brings em to $7.99! 

 

Can also pick up a dobyns fury FR705CB for $72!

 

-edit- looks like there’s only one dobyns left. Someone better grab it!

Promo code “18WACTEN” will get you an additional 10% off your order at Academy.    Just used it to pick up some ploppers myself.

 

EDIT:  looks like I missed the 20% off promo!

Thanks for this! My short-lived willpower held me off from buying a bunch of whopper ploppers earlier today just long enough for you to post this code. But in the end, the baitmonkey won.

I wish the Academy promo codes could be used in store!

Monkey got me at Academy! 4 whopper ploppers, a couple lipless and I would've bought that 705CB but luckily it was gone.

Dang I wish I would have seen that in time to buy the rod

Hopefully someone here snagged it. I don’t have the money to buy any of these things, but ooooooooh I feed my baitmonkey by letting him enjoy seeing his buddies stuff themselves! 

 

Wish I could get a couple ploppers myself, as it looks to be the plopper deal of the year, but it’s a “want” at the moment, and my school expenses are kind of a “need”! Haha, I guess it’s a good thing I’ve learned to be a little smart with my money, as I don’t have a budget for $16+ of ploppers

My heart broke when I saw I was too late

 

Nice - the 20% code did me in - 3 ploppers, and a big box of ammo that was already on sale, and has a 25% rebate to be applied.

And thank you!!

 

Just picked up 4 (three 110's and one 130) for $32!!! Normally 4 would cost $68. Amazing deal. 

I picked up a few ploppers as well. Had 2 phantom shad 130’s in my cart and once I put my payment info in it said it sold out since I last viewed my cart ?. Got some bone and monkey butt 130’s
