River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 Munky Butt

The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 Munky Butt is a hard topwater bait designed for musky anglers targeting aggressive strikes in shallow to moderate depths. Developed by legendary musky hunter Larry Dahlberg, this topwater lure leverages a unique tail design that rotates freely on its harness to generate the kind of thumping vibrations and commotion that trigger muskie attacks across different retrieve speeds.

What sets this plopper apart is its construction for durability in punishing environments. The soft, pliable tail is engineered to handle repeated contact with rocks, stumps, and hard-fighting muskies without tearing or losing its action—critical when you're fishing thick cover or targeting fish that grab hard. Whether you're working it fast with a steady cadence or pausing to let it sit in strike zones, the tail keeps working and creating the disturbance that pulls fish from deeper structure.

The Munky Butt color pattern rounds out a plopper that covers both open-water and timber scenarios. This is the kind of search bait that lets you cover water efficiently and locate aggressive fish, or target structure methodically when you know where they're holding. If you're serious about musky on topwater, the Whopper Plopper 130 belongs in your box.
