This is just one of the reasons River2Sea was unable to get a patent on the Whopper Plopper. The main reason is because a real inventor and innovator patented the design back in 1918. The patent has since expired allowing any company to roll out their own plopper style bait. https://www.bassmaster.com/bernie-schultz/first-plopper



You brought up a 2 year old thread. What kind of boredom were you in lol.

Your Whopper Plopper must be bigger and better than my Whopper Plopper. grin

Always enjoyed Ronnie's posts (Gig'em Aggies) little over a week ago I looked up his profile to see when his last post was and had a feeling something was not right. We messaged each another though pm quite a few times, gonna miss him.

RIP Ronnie wished we could have Fished together...

Paul

Same here! We have the same model Skeeters, so we were always bouncing(no pun intended) ideas off each other via pm. I know sometimes folks come and go on forums. Sadly, I figured he just wasn’t fishing as much lately.

Rest In Peace buddy.
