They are awesome lures and you can cover a lot of water. Not sure why some have had no luck but I read the same kind of post about guys who have no luck with a jig or other lures

I just bought one a few days ago. I have used it the past three mornings with no luck. With that being said i have used other lures as well the last three days without a bite.......I will keep throwing it

It's a large buzz bait that you can kill without it sinking. Stop it. Pop it. I actually have gotten the biggest bites on a slow steady retrieve.

Awesome bait down here at Amistad! If you are getting short stikes and misses, change out the front hook with a red treble. It incresed my hook up ratios tremendously. JM2C

I had one blow up right in front of me as well...was standing in the water and BOOM! Scared the stuff outa me! That's why you should never give up on a retrieve....Sometimes they hit it late!

Only caught bass on one in a private lake, no takers on a public lake in any area and about 20 different retrieves. Same with YM, I have literally caught one bass about three inches on it. Will be trying the Plopper here on the cape cod canal for striper.

Wonder how it would do at night?? Could be deadly. I fished one at night here on Cape Cod for a solid hour and never so much as had a strike. Other top waters worked great. I'm 0 fer on mine. What color and type of retrieve works for you? I have bone and a blue backed I have only caught fish on it on a private lake but a straight retrieve did not work. Cast out lift the rod tip and have it "plop" and then let sit, always hit it while it was still, never moving.

Terminator. I find topwaters work best for me when they have as clear a finish as possible. Yamamoto 3in pencil the lone exception...
