River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 Slime

The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 Slime is a topwater hard bait built for musky hunters who want a lure that delivers the noise and action big fish can't ignore. Designed by legendary angler Larry Dahlberg, this 130-size topwater bait combines a rotating soft tail with a proven body design to create the kind of surface disturbance and subsurface rumble that triggers aggressive strikes from muskies across a range of retrieve speeds and depths.

What sets the Whopper Plopper apart is its flexible tail design. Unlike rigid topwater baits, the soft, pliable tail rotates freely on its harness as you work the lure through the water. That rotation generates the commotion and vibration that gets muskies to react—and it does so whether you're burning it fast across open water, crawling it through cover, or working it at mid-range pace. The tail is engineered to take the abuse that comes with musky fishing: repeated contact with rocks, stumps, vegetation, and the hard takes from fish with serious teeth.

If you're a musky angler looking for a topwater that performs across different conditions and retrieve styles without sacrificing durability, the Whopper Plopper 130 Slime delivers the combination of action and toughness the species demands.
