Have you guys ever made any top water prop baits like top raiders just wondering where you guys get them at I didnt see them in the Jans netcraft or the Rollie and Hellens, I did see them there in the past just looking for something a little bigger. I kind of like the one that Dizzy was using on his baits but he has not responde to where he got them at.

I built 5 prop baits this year for the first time. I got the props from Lure Parts Online. They come flat so you can put the bend in them where you want and at the angle you want. I believe the ones I ordered were called "large tallywacker props."

I can only find tjem in two sizes so Ive been cutting my own, you can really get a good loud plop by increasing the size and the bend angle as well.
Love tjrowing them

i think all the available one you can get from stores are too soft.you better build your own if you want something that will not bend.
most of them are called 035 but they are not strong like the chopper,for some reason they bend a lot more easily.maybe they are not true ss or just a different grade?

There are 2 thicknesses. One is too light the other is heavier. Ive use both and have had no trouble with either but I do prefer the heavier gauge
