I loved watching Larry Dahlberg design and test his Whopper Plopper, especially the hydrophone testing on different blade size, shape and configurations. Got to be like 15 years ago.  Made my 1st one about 10 yes ago, from Larry's how to video. I've been fishing them with multi species success in fresh and saltwater.  I did enjoy your interpretation of the plopper.

nice work on that aluminum - we need to get you an english wheel

23:01  nice wapper ploper

It's one of my favorite builds yet! Keep up the great work!

Looks great!  Make a regular mold... front piece... back piece without blade... take out of mold and cut the slot for the prop... slide back piece onto tail wire after prop has been fixed into place... tape blade and paint... epoxy... clearcoat before tying it into place... once coating complete complete bait...

Wow, I was totally wrong in the short, "Balsa" I wouldn't have thought! I was thinking more of a mold!😂

Rad 🤘🏽♥️ really wanted to hear it plop tho 😆

Another totally awesome build. Looks and functions great.   Thanks for sharing.

Once again you killed it awesome build

I’d love to see a mold made of this and perfect it

Franko I love the design.  Another great video.  You could also use the plastic tube from a ballpoint pen for the spinner bearing.

Awesome video! Thanks!

Damn good looking plopper... And works great... Perfect action... Eyes were perfect choice ...

Great build and video. May have to try this at some point

I saw on another channel the super glued eye area for cleaner cuts with less or no breakout.  I really enjoy your channel thanks.

Well, proof on camera...youre only human.... happened to me too sometimes. But I always loosen the drag when I dont use the rod, keeps the drag in better condition. But dont forget to test before the first cast! Keep building, we will keep watching

Wow, that's sweet!

Good video, hello from Maine

Never used a whopper plopper! I loved the build and results!Great job! I use Q tips for small ID plastic tubing

Cant say ive ever made a mold of a whopper plopper. But I did make one out of a broomstick handle.
