Quick take
Multi-jointed plopper with double propeller tail that produces plopping sounds and spray to draw fish to the surface.
A floating topwater plopper at 4.7 inches and one ounce, sold as a set of three, aimed at bass and pike anglers who want a larger surface bait. Its spear-point hooks and rotating tail suit a plopping, splashing retrieve over shallow cover. Pick it for prop-bait work where a bigger profile draws strikes from fish feeding on top.

- Pike and musky near structure

Strengths

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
