Ive learned that fishing early and late has proven to be when the bass are the most actively feeding in June. Lester goes on to say that one of the advantages of fishing ponds in the summer is that most ponds, small lakes and private bodies of water dont get fished as heavily as river systems and major impoundments do

So choosing the right plopper is generally dependent on the mood of the fish and the season you are fishing

The carbon-fiber drag system offers 20 pounds of maximum drag pressure, so you can drag in the biggest bass in the pond, while the line clicker lets you keep track of how much line is in the water

You can use it with lighter lines, though once you dip below 15-pound braid, the thin diameter and slickness make it difficult for the knot to bite down on equally thin leaders

Dont hesitate to dead stick it
