Propbait

For which species?

Propbaits are very versatile surface lures. They are suitable for all species of predator. From perch to catfish, they will also appeal to pike and black bass. The sound it produces with its metal or plastic propeller is not yet very familiar to predators. As a result, it will appeal to the most educated of predators.

To adapt to the different types of predator you want to track, brands have designed propbaits with varying degrees of robustness. The best-known of them all, the Whopper Plopper from River2Sea. This model comes in 3 sizes:

• Whopper Plopper 60
• Whopper Plopper 75
• Whopper Plopper 190

The 19 cm Whopper Plopper has been specially designed for catfish and pike. As for its smaller brothers, they are
more suited to fishing for perch or black bass, although pike are not indifferent to them.

How to use a propbait?

A good lure is nothing without good animation... Although the propbait is one of these, a simple surface drag makes it effective. It's up to you to play around with pauses or big bursts of acceleration.

The propbait is ideal for surface fishing in areas overgrown with dead wood or weedbeds. Thanks to the noise it makes in the water, predators can spot it from a long way off and won't hesitate to attack.

It's up to you to adapt it to the biotope you want to fish in, the species you're targeting and the colour of the water. Many colours are available for this type of lure. From natural to flashy, there's a bait to suit every situation.
