River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 Blue Blood

The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 Blue Blood is a topwater hard bait built for serious musky hunters who want a lure that delivers commotion and gets bit. Designed by legendary angler Larry Dahlberg, this bait is purpose-built to work at multiple retrieve speeds and depths, making it versatile enough for different water conditions and muskies' moods. Whether you're covering shoreline structure or working open water, the Whopper Plopper 130 generates the kind of attraction musky anglers live for.

What sets this topwater apart is its signature soft, pliable tail—the heart of why it works. The tail rotates freely on its harness, creating rumbling vibrations that travel through the water and pull aggressive fish from cover. That design isn't just for show: the tail is engineered to absorb punishment from rocks, stumps, and the teeth of hard-hitting muskies. You're not replacing this lure after one hangup or solid strike.

The Blue Blood colorway fits musky patterns across North America, making it a reliable choice whether you're on a northern pike lake, reservoir, or shallow river system. If you've followed musky fishing long enough, you know that Dahlberg-designed baits have a track record of producing. The Whopper Plopper 130 is no exception—it's a topwater musky lure that earns its place in your tackle box.
