River2Sea Whopper Plopper

For decades savvy musky anglers have known that surface lures producing a deep-throated, hollow popping–plopping sound trigger explosive strikes. The trouble was finding a model whose tail held its shape — many would bend and lose their tune after a bite, a strike on structure, or repeated casting.

I hooked my first musky on this style of bait over 50 years ago and have been refining the design ever since. The Whopper Plopper is the result of that work: molded so every lure leaves the box with the exact tail size and angle needed to generate the sound that consistently provokes fish. Its tail is cast in super tough plastic that flexes back into place whether it gets chomped or smacks a bridge piling.

The Whopper Plopper 75 /110 are the smaller members of the family, but don’t be fooled by their size — they pack serious performance. Built with the same rugged construction as the larger models, they feature Xtra Strong components including hook hangers and wires, plus X-Strong size 4 treble hooks. This compact version is engineered to handle larger adversaries.

Where the bigger Whopper Ploppers use heavy tail chops to draw strikes, the 75 emphasizes speed and a distinct buzz-saw-like sound. The Whopper Plopper 75 is tailored for topwater work in high-pressure fisheries and when the forage base is smaller.
