Quick take
A 6-inch topwater popper with a cupped face that creates a loud pop and splash to attract bass in shallow water and around cover.
The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 is a 5-inch topwater prop bait built on Larry Dahlberg's design, with a rear propeller tail that churns and gurgles across the surface. At about 1 3/8 ounces it is a big-profile lure for anglers who like to cover water with a steady retrieve at dawn, dusk or over shallow cover. This LOON color suits bass and pike fishing in open water and along weed edges.
