Quick take
Compact wooden topwater lure with a rotating propeller tail that creates surface disturbance at multiple retrieve speeds.
The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 is a compact topwater bait, about 3 inches long and just over half an ounce, with a propeller-style tail that churns the surface at a range of retrieve speeds. Its deeper, wider belly gives it a bluegill-like profile, which suits anglers working bass when the topwater bite is strong. The Phantom Shad pattern is a natural silver finish for anglers who want surface commotion in a small package.
