    I get a kick out of this image every time I fly through MSP (hanging up near one of the gates)… Not sure what kind of presentation they are going for with the weight and surface lure.

    Once upon a time I fished with a guy that just had to use a bobber in front of every lure, no matter what we said. Then he got frustrated and mad because he couldn’t catch anything. He just couldn’t give up using that damn bobber.

    Nope. Daniel. But he needs a bobber like he needs oxygen!

    I throw weights up my line on poppers all the time.
    I guess the joke is on me when the fish hammer it

    Does it help pop it harder?

    No not at all. I think its more of a structure thing. When I fish top waters and see fish active but they won’t hit mine I try this and I do super hard “pops” when its under water. It stirs up alot of commotion and then immediately falls. It works. Especially when on teases it when the other hammer times it

    I don’t see it much, but supposedly one technique on the flats is a top water with a jig tied to the back to trail behind it. I’ve had fish, especially Jack’s, go after my popping cork when fishing…

    …yeah, not so much when I’m not fishing?

    You could be onto something there. I might try a modified version of that and tie the smaller jig on about 9-12″ in front of the larger hard bait. That would look more like a prey predator feeding situation.

    I knew a guy that would attach crankbaits directly to the snap on the arm of bottom bouncers. Funny enough, Pike would still hit it.
