    Have you fished them Mark? I haven't been to impressed with the ploppers lately. Seams like the last few I've bought have to run pretty fast to work the tail right.

    If you're going fishing tomorrow, get some sleep. I'm going to the dentist, I'd prefer to sleep there!

    I have not picked one up yet. I do want some for small waters I kayak in. It should be a killer in the clear flowing rivers.

    I have but I'm not sure how it fits yet. It fishes more like a shorter 130 than a 90. The profile and commotion in the water is bigger than the 90 despite it being shorter. I seem to do better with the 90 than the 75 when the fish want a smaller bait, but ever body of water is different so you just need to get out there and experiment.

    I use the 90 quite a bit. Definitely in for trying the 75. Really like the shape and size.

    Fished it quite a bit last fall. Has a little different sound and splash. Caught fish on it. It'll catch fishermen, as they all do.

    Not sure, they are in all the stores in 6-8 colors. Also have a jointed wake bait that looks like a frog.

    Agree the 75 is the best one yet. It runs and tracks and sounds like a 130, but is the smaller profile. I also like the broader body, may just be a confidence thing but I think it better imitates all the bluegill the bass around here eat.
