Quick take
A 3-inch wooden topwater bait that wobbles and pops on the surface for muskie and pike.
The Whopper Plopper 75 is a compact topwater lure about 3 inches long and 9/16 oz, finished in a Perch pattern. A spinning propeller tail churns the surface on a steady retrieve, and two size 4 treble hooks ride underneath. It suits anglers who want a casting-friendly surface bait for bass and other predators.
