Googan rods are solid Hard baits are okay Soft plastics are where they really struggle. Ultimately, I think a lot of the Googan hate is misplaced and many hate it just to hate it, but it’s not without its problems.

@pain_weaver

Жыл бұрын

Not misplaced at all. They straight up steal designs and market it as their own.

We need a Jr size for the GS Revolver... 😔

It’s not just that it catches less. But bc the prop is in the middle it makes it so even if it does catch a lil weeds it still keeps it’s action unlike the other ploppers. Plus it just always makes noise and sounds better and works where as the others just seem to be weird sometimes

Googan stuff is good in my opinion because the more soft the bait is the better action it has so it results in really good action but also it falls apart easier I understand if you dont like them tho bcuz they are expensive and sometimes its not worth it to go through a pack of baits in 3 fish

Pro tip... hours of using them Googan soft plastics = junk, fall apart easy, anything will tear them apart. Just dragging the worm the tail will rip in rocks. Googan hardbaits: decent quality. Change the hooks immediately. However, their jerkbait meh. Use a Provoke or Stunna (megabass if you have $). The contender is ok, Bucca did it better.

Idk about catching less weeds, but it’ll catch more fish. The competitors props are at the end of the bait, only allowing the most access to one hook, the revolver propeller is in front of all of the hooks allowing access to the entire bait

idc what y’all say. googan is good and i love them. think of it at a market stand point. they run fishing youtube made a company and made millions. they got lazy kids off their butts and got them to fish and get enjoyment making their own money and being able to buy baits made by their favorite people. just face it, googan will always be at the top and everyone uses their baits, even the haters. even the pros started hooking up with googan with sponsorships and all. let’s just admire the success of where they all started to where they are now, the googan squad is living our dream and everyone knows it

Revolver is a cheap garbage knockoff

The revolver is my favorite top water lure tbh

I have such a positive association with the sound 🤣🤣 duh kill me bro

Ghost Gill Jr scout goes insane for pike

I like how you answer you own question, yes you still had some negative experiences with googan, but some people won’t give them that 2nd chance. Some products are just confident baits that people throw and know won’t give them issues. I like googan because they’re constantly innovating old techniques/technology to kinda like refresh them. Same concept and use, just maybe slightly different actions, colors, and profiles.

They don't need a second chance. Once the crank pattent got blocked you know what kind of shady company they are and the backer catch co

I love the revolver too! I also found that when I’m ripping a whopper across the water I sometimes get short strikes but never with the revolver and I think it’s because of the position of the prop!

The lipless cranks are nice…haven’t used it much but it’s caught fish so I can’t complain…came in one of the mystery tackle boxes…

That's an interesting point made, thanks for sharing your view on this lure.

You catch less weeds but what I noticed is that my hooks get hung up on the prop when casting occasionally

I love the lures just hate the plastics

I highly recommend the rattlin ned,I have caught about 4 different species so far on them and they are also soft plastics but so far they have held up better than some Ned's I have used.They are also segmented so I like to fish them cast and retrieve style.they a lil pricey but do last long 👍🏿

I like the choppo better than the plopper because of the hard plastic tail. Might have to try the revolver

I don’t have much experience with googan lures, but in my opinion their soft plastics can’t be beat, especially the Bandito Bug. Every region and water body is different, and everyone has different preferences, but in my experience fishing northern New England, absolutely nothing catches fish more consistently than a green pumpkin Googan Bandito Bug on a weightless T-rig. Idk enough about fish biology/psychology to explain it, I just know that I rarely ever toss a Bandito Bug in the water without at least getting a bite.

The prop on my googan revolver broke because it's made from a cheap hard plastic so I think I'll be sticking to the whopper plopper that has a soft plastic prop that won't break off. I love googan just not a fan of the revolver.

Bro, I used to hate anything too water because I’ve never been good at top water!! Or even really fished it besides frogs.. first time fishing the revolver/ choppo type bait was last week at night.. 😭 omg talking about absolute slay!!

I love googan the jerk bait is killer when hooks are added. Actually makes it a slow sinking instead of suspending. The dart is killer and same with the jigs and bandito bug and nice swimbaits. Keitech,rapala, googan, 13 fishing, plus spro cranks is what you’ll find in my boat. And I have a no complaints. I like catching fish. Who cares if you have to change soft plastics more often if you’re catching more fish.

Love these short informative videos!

I’ve tried to give googan hard baits so many chances, but they always perform worse then their cheaper counterparts. Except for a googan swim jig I have, it’s the only one that’s caught me a fish. A free janky buzzbait I found in a tree out performed the sideways running Hummer. The Revolver always sits weird in the water and almost wants to dive or wake. I havnt tried any of their soft plastics but none of their hard baits that I’ve tried seem to even run correctly.

I love whopper poppers but the floodwaters I live on is loaded with vegetation. Hard to fish anything after about June without cleaning off your bait after every cast. Milfoil being the biggest villain for tangling up my bait. The top water fishing is great though, so I battle through it. I'm always looking for ways to go weedless. Or at least more weedless.

Funny when little kids think they know more then professional fisherman.🤣

The revolver stops spinning after 5 casts and it keeps making a screeching noise that I don't like

Do you film with a GoPro? Or your phone? Thanks!

I’ve accidentally slammed my choppo against a lot of stuff. Still holding up strong. And usually I try to only use it after a good wind has come through and moved all the debris to the edges. And the choppo is loud as hell so I love it.

Just caught a 6 pounder with it about 4 days ago after originally thinking it was really bad its very versatile because yes it catches less weeds and it creates a better sound imo as well as being able to go at slower speeds while still having good action compared to the whopper plopper but they are still both good

Googan is a lot of marketing and very annoying fishing influencers for pretty mediocre baits. Most cheap alternatives will catch the same amount of fish and hold up just as well.

i totally agree i used to shit on googan lures but once i used a revolver i immediately knew it was better than the whopper plopper

Imagine you're just enjoying fishing and suddenly someone criticize your lures...
