Quick take
A 90mm topwater prop-bait that produces surface disturbance through a cupped propeller and can be worked at various speeds.
This Berkley Choppo in Ghost White is the 90 mm size, a 1/2 oz topwater prop bait roughly 3.5 inches long. Its cupped propeller tail makes noise and spray on a steady chunk-and-wind retrieve. Two size 5 hooks ride on the body, and the pale color suits bass fishing in calm to choppy water.
