Description

For decades savvy musky men have known that surface lures that made a certain deep throated hollow popping–plopping sound drove muskies crazy. The problem was if you found one with a “good” tail it would bend and get out of tune when it got bit by a fish, hit a rock or even just from repeat casting.” Once bass anglers started to catch on to this presentation, they never looked back. The Perchy Plopper is the culmination of many years of fine tuning this style of lure and since they are molded, every single one comes out of the box with the perfect tail size and angle to make a sound that simply drives fish crazy. Plus, its tail is made of super tough plastic that flexes right back into place whether it gets chomped on or gets cast into a bridge piling. This amazing custom painted topwater lure will assuredly tempt whatever sized bass you are targeting. It is a great all around performer and is designed to target better than average sized bass and in conditions where mediocrity just won't "make the cut". Don't get "caught" without one!
