Quick take
Three-inch wooden topwater plug with rotating tail that creates muskie-attracting surface disturbance and rumbles at various retrieve speeds.
The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 is a 3-inch topwater prop bait in Chrome Black, weighing about 9/16 ounce, made for anglers after musky and pike. Its rear tail spins on a wire harness and pushes water across the surface, and the retrieve speed sets whether it makes a soft churn or a louder popping sound. The body floats at rest and carries #4 treble hooks for working shallow cover on top.
