Designed by legendary angler and TV personality, Larry Dahlberg, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper delivers a sputtering topwater disruption that is begging to be crushed. Well-known for its ability to catch, Dahlberg and the folks at River2Sea originally created the Whopper Plopper for musky, but once largemouth and smallmouth started crushing, it was altered to meet the needs of bass anglers.

Slightly heavier than a 5-inch Senko, Yamamoto's 4-inch "Kreature" can be cast weightless for a slow, horizontal descent. Raise your rod tip, and you can burn it back across the water's surface like a buzzbait. This versatile lure's performance is outstanding when Texas rigged for flipping or Carolina rigged for those bottom-hugging fish. The Kreature's forward arms swim during the fall, and when it comes to rest on the bottom, the slightest movement will cause the rear paddles to spring forward and back while the floating tail tantalizes fish.
