Zell pop

Plitz · 03-04-07, 03:50 PM

Hi I'm putting together a order at Tackle Warehouse and I was wondering if the Zell pop was any better than the Chug bugs and Pop-r's that I have been throwing? any feed back would be great! thx...

I haven't used the Zell pop yet.I still have a few of the old excalibur super pop r's very simular, but what I have been buying lately is the Megabass Pop-x from Ebay.They are $22.00 normally, but keep bidding on ebay and you can buy them alot cheaper.

I've got 3 of em and can't really tell much dif in the action, however there are some tailfeathers and slight shape diferences from the other rebel popR's.

Plitz · 03-04-07, 04:58 PM

Them Megabass sure do look nice!! Thx JB I was not sure if they would be much better They sure do look nice though...

Plitz,Sorry about posting the other popper bait.If you get the Zell pop, let me know what you think of them after you fish them a while. P N J

Plitz · 03-04-07, 06:36 PM

Sorry? How do you like the Megabass? Do you think they catch more fish or prettier? I'm just starting to buy some of the higher end baits,when I was muskie fishing I had no problem spending 20-25 on a bait just took me a little bit to start spending it on bass baits.

Check out the cute birdie they offer for only $9

You guys ever throw a Don Iovino Splash II?

This one is a kick a$$ bait on the Potomac and James.. Oh and the Chic.

It can walk the dog perfectly and plop with the finnest baits.

I have two splash-its in my pics. The white and the chart/white I also like the riccos they are great lures.

adamchasejones · 03-05-07, 08:54 PM

you guys really think it makes that much difference. The pop r or spitnimage cant be that much less of a bait than these 25 dollar rip offs. Theyre catching more fisherman thats for sure. The profile from the bottoms is indistinguishable I'd say and the only thing i can really see wrong with em would be the hooks which can be easily changed for cheaper than lucky craft rip off. But thats only my opinion...and Im sometimes a hypocrit. I love zara spooks but I also throw the sammy sometimes but i dont really think it helps much.

ILfishinman · 03-05-07, 09:11 PM

have you guys heard of the heddon baby zara? i have one i got on an auction on ebay along with 2 rouges and another zara spook for $10. i have never seen the baby zara in stores this leads me to belive it may be worth something. it diesnt have any teeth marks on it or anything, looks awesome. just wondering if i should keep this one up with my grampas lures ( like theese http://www.bassfishin.com/bassfishin...ighlight=lures ) or not. thanks

crab · 03-05-07, 09:47 PM

Well Adam there is a difference,Its the sound and the colors on the bottom of the baits do differ. As you can see in my pics I have both spitin image and the big buck rip offs as you call em. The sound the baits make when the are poped or blurped is the key. Thats why if im not mistaken the pros used to take the pop-r and sand on the lip thats how the ricco came about because of the sound. It was in either bassmaster or one of my other fishing mags that I read about it. But you are right they do catch fisherman and Im a tackle junkie.

Il fish I have a baby spook,Zara puppy,and a few others. Im not sure what there worth.

ILfishinman · 03-05-07, 09:58 PM

well i have 2 zara spooks a baby spook and the super spook jr. bill dance series, thats it for heddon but its just i never seen the baby spook before. i loked online and one place had them goin for $25 new in box

crab · 03-05-07, 11:39 PM

The ones I have are not new in box.

adamchasejones · 03-06-07, 01:33 PM

The "baby zara" is a zara pooch. They sell em at bass pro shops stores...i havent seen em online. Kmart tends to have some as well. Theyre awesome on small creek smallies.

ILfishinman · 03-06-07, 10:34 PM

no not the pooch, on the bait it says "Heddon baby zara"
