Quick take
A 5 in topwater lure with a rattling body and paddle tail that walks side-to-side on the surface.
The Whopper Plopper 130 is a five-inch topwater lure that weighs about 1 3/8 ounces and is worked on or near the surface. Glass beads inside the body give it a sizzle and a hollow plop with each pull. It carries #2 treble hooks and comes in the Powder finish, a surface bait for panfish and bass anglers who want a noisy presentation.

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.
