River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130: The Original Big-Water Legend

Go big or go home. The Whopper Plopper 130 is the heavy-hitter that started the revolution, designed for trophy hunters who demand maximum surface chaos.

The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 is the lure that put the "plopping" craze on the map. Developed by Larry Dahlberg to target world-class muskies, it quickly became the worst-kept secret in the bass fishing world. This isn't just a lure; it’s a high-impact search tool designed to provoke the most violent, aggressive strikes from the biggest predators in the lake. If you are looking to break your personal best, the 130 is the bait that makes it happen.

Why the Whopper Plopper 130 is the King of Topwater:

• Unmatched Acoustic Signature: The 130 features a massive, soft-plastic rotating tail that creates a deep, thumping "glub-glub" sound. This low-frequency vibration is powerful enough to pull trophy bass from 20 feet of water or thick vegetation.

• Large Baitfish Profile: At 5 inches (130mm), this lure mimics a large gizzard shad, hitch, or even a small duckling. It presents a high-calorie meal that big fish find impossible to ignore.

• Long-Range Weaponry: Weighing a substantial 1-3/8 oz, the 130 casts like a rocket. It is built to cover massive flats and long points, allowing you to find active fish faster than any other topwater on the market.

• Indestructible Build Quality: Designed originally for the toothy maws of muskies, the 130 is built to take a beating. From the heavy-duty internal wire to the durable tail, this bait is ready for season after season of combat.

• Trophy-Grade Hardware: Never worry about a bent hook again. The 130 comes factory-equipped with two oversized, razor-sharp River2Sea (BN) Treble #1 hooks that provide maximum leverage and sticking power for giant fish.

The Ultimate Big-Bass Search Bait

The Whopper Plopper 130 excels when you need to cover water and generate a reaction. Its sheer size and noise profile act as a dinner bell, irritating territorial bass into striking out of pure aggression. Whether you’re fishing the Great Lakes for monster smallmouth or the California Delta for double-digit largemouth, the 130 is the undisputed heavyweight champion.

PRO TIP: Because the 130 creates significant drag and weighs over an ounce, you need the right gear to fish it effectively. Use a heavy-action casting rod (7'3" to 7'11") and a high-speed reel to keep the lure on top and take up line quickly when a fish charges the boat. 30lb to 50lb braided line is highly recommended—not just for the strength, but for the zero-stretch hooksets required to drive those #1 trebles home.
