Description

Designed by legendary angler and TV personality, Larry Dahlberg, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper delivers a sputtering topwater disruption that is begging to be crushed. Well-known for its ability to catch, Dahlberg and the folks at River2Sea originally created the Whopper Plopper for musky, but once largemouth and smallmouth started crushing, it was altered to meet the needs of bass anglers. Whether you crawl it super slow, so you can't even hear the tail, just the tiny glass beads sizzling inside its body, or you speed it up so it throws water like a swamp buggy with the same deep, hollow whopper-plopping-fish-catching sound as the original, the Whopper Plopper gets bit. It still casts a mile, and its ability to work at the widest possible range of speeds, makes it a great tool for honing in on the most productive speeds and rhythms for that particular day. Available in a variety of colors, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper's tail is also perfectly tuned right out of the box - so it stays flexible and working properly forever.

Field Notes

Use it over calm to lightly choppy water when bass or musky are feeding near the surface. Crawl it slowly for a subtle plopping wake or speed it up to throw more water and create a louder disturbance. Best around low light periods, open water, and over vegetation edges where fish can track surface commotion.

Pros

  • Strong surface commotion and sound
  • Casts a long distance
  • Works at a wide range of retrieve speeds

Cons

  • Can be less effective in heavy wind or rough water
