Quick take
A 5 inch topwater prop bait with a rattle that creates a loud surface disturbance.
The River2Sea WPL130/14 is a 5-inch topwater lure in bone that floats on the surface, with a 1 3/8-ounce body and a #2 treble hook. Glass beads inside the body make a sizzling sound, and the tail makes a hollow plopping noise as it moves. Anglers who work shallow cover and want a surface bait that makes noise will find it fits that job.
