Why these fit

These are all surface plopper-style baits built for bass feeding near the top. The River2Sea Whopper Plopper is the most proven all-around option for covering water, while PH Custom Lures Wesley's Ploppin' P Topwater Plopper is a handcrafted bass-specific choice with a strong plopping action. If fish are pressured or small bait is present, Strike King Bitsy Chickin and Bill Lewis Baby Bubbler give you smaller profiles. Blackjack Lures Swamp Swatter Baby Bass is a simple, affordable plopper-style option for shallow surface commotion.

Technique notes

• Fish them on the surface only; these are floating topwater baits.
• Start with a steady retrieve to keep the tail/plopper working.
• Speed up over grass edges or open water to make more commotion.
• Slow down around docks, laydowns, and calm water when bass are tracking but not committing.
• Best windows are low light, warm water, and active fish pushing bait to the top.

When to switch

Switch away from a plopper if bass are not coming up, if the water is very cold, or if fish want a subtler presentation. In those cases, try a walking bait, popper, frog, or subsurface moving bait instead. If bass are following but not striking, downsizing to a smaller plopper like Bill Lewis Baby Bubbler or Strike King Bitsy Chickin can help.
