The Sound That Bass Can't Ignore

The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 is one of the most iconic topwater lures ever made — and for good reason. That deep, hollow whopping sound produced by the rotating tail is unlike anything else on the water. Crawl it so slowly you can barely hear the tail, or rip it fast so it throws water like a swamp buggy. Either way, it gets bit. Cast it a mile, dial in your retrieve speed, and let the sound do the work.

Engineered to Run Perfect, Right Out of the Box

The Whopper Plopper's propeller-style tail is perfectly tuned from the factory and stays flexible and fish-catching forever. No tweaking, no tuning, no adjustments — just tie it on and go. The tail rotates smoothly across a wide range of retrieve speeds, producing alluring rumbles and multi-octave splashing that triggers strikes from bass, pike, musky, and stripers.

Why Standard Prop Baits Fall Short

Most prop baits are noisy at one speed and dead at another. The Whopper Plopper produces fish-catching sound and action from a dead-slow crawl all the way to a fast burn — giving you a versatile topwater that adapts to the mood of the fish. When bass are finicky, slow it down. When they're aggressive, speed it up. The Plopper works either way.

Built to Last, Built to Cast

Pre-rigged with two size #1 premium black nickel treble hooks, the Whopper Plopper 130 is ready to fish the moment it comes out of the package. The durable body handles rocks, wood, and hard-fighting fish without losing its action, and its aerodynamic profile launches exceptionally long casts for a topwater of its size — covering more water and reaching fish that other lures can't.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a topwater that works at any retrieve speed
• You're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, pike, musky, or striped bass
• You need a lure that casts far and covers open water efficiently
• Walking baits and poppers aren't triggering strikes
• You want a proven, tournament-tested topwater with a massive color selection

Best Retrieve Techniques

• Slow Crawl: Barely-there retrieve — just enough to keep the tail ticking. Deadly in calm conditions and post-spawn
• Medium Steady: The bread-and-butter retrieve — consistent tail rotation with a rhythmic whopping sound
• Fast Burn: Rip it across the surface throwing water — triggers reaction strikes from aggressive fish
• Stop and Go: Vary your retrieve speed to create an erratic, fleeing-baitfish action

Best Conditions

• Calm to lightly choppy surface — the tail sound carries best in calmer water
• Low-light periods — early morning and late evening when bass are most active on top
• Post-spawn through fall when bass are chasing baitfish on the surface
• Summer feeding windows over open flats, points, and submerged structure
• Any body of water where big fish are looking up — lakes, reservoirs, rivers, ponds

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Pike, Musky, Striped Bass
• Techniques: Slow roll, medium steady retrieve, fast burn, stop-and-go
• Conditions: Calm to choppy surface, low-light, post-spawn, summer and fall feeding windows
• Water: Lakes, reservoirs, rivers, ponds — anywhere big fish are looking up

Key Features

• Propeller-style rotating tail creates powerful surface commotion
• Produces deep, hollow whopping sound across all retrieve speeds
• Pre-rigged with 2x size #1 premium black nickel treble hooks
• Perfectly tuned tail — no adjustments needed, stays flexible forever
• Exceptional casting distance for a topwater of its size
• Extremely durable body — handles rocks, wood, and hard-fighting fish
• 12 proven color patterns to match any water condition

Tackle Express Tips

• Start Slow, Speed Up: Begin your retrieve at a slow crawl and gradually increase speed until you find the cadence the fish want that day. The Plopper produces at every speed — let the fish tell you what they want.
• Match the Color to Forage: In shad-heavy lakes, go with Phantom Shad, Chubby, or Crystal Minnow. In perch or bluegill fisheries, try Perch or Munky Butt. In stained water, Blue Blood and Rat Ta Tat create the best silhouette.
• Use a Loop Knot: A loop knot (like a Rapala knot) gives the Whopper Plopper maximum freedom of movement and enhances the tail action, especially at slower retrieve speeds.

FAQ

What rod and line setup works best with the Whopper Plopper 130?
A medium-heavy 7'–7'6" casting rod with 30–50 lb braided line is ideal. Braid floats and keeps the lure riding high on the surface, while the sensitivity lets you feel the tail action and detect any change in retrieve speed.

How do I know if the tail is tuned correctly?
The tail should rotate freely and consistently at slow retrieve speeds. If it's not spinning, check for debris caught in the tail joint. The Whopper Plopper comes factory-tuned and rarely needs adjustment.

Can I use the Whopper Plopper 130 for pike and musky?
Absolutely. The 5 in, 1 3/8 oz profile is a great pike and musky topwater, especially in summer when fish are shallow and aggressive. Upgrade to heavier treble hooks if you're specifically targeting large musky.

Pro-Cure Super Gel adds fishing scent to soft plastics and hard baits in a sticky gel formula. Made with real bait and added amino acids, this UV-enhanced attractant is an option for anglers who want scent on a lure while casting, trolling, or jigging in freshwater or saltwater.

Why choose Super Gel?

• Clinging gel: Coats the lure surface so you can apply scent where you want it.
• Real-bait formula: Offers a range of bait and blended scent profiles to match your approach.
• UV enhanced: Includes Pro-Cure's UV enhancement; this is not a promise of visible glow or guaranteed strikes.

Choose your scent

The selector lists scent choices, even if its label reads “Color.” Start with the forage you are trying to imitate: compare Threadfin Shad for a shad presentation, Crawfish or Garlic Crawfish for a craw-style bait, or Anchovy, Sardine, Shrimp, and Squid for corresponding saltwater forage. These are starting points to test, not exclusive species matches.

For trout, compare Trophy Trout, Garlic Plus, or Nightcrawler options. Pro-Cure identifies Trophy Trout as a Tui Chub-based formula. Rainbow Trout and Trophy Trout are separate selections; choose the exact name you want before adding to cart.

Product details

• Brand: Pro-Cure
• Product: Super Gel fishing scent and attractant
• Form: Sticky gel
• Features: Real bait, added amino acids, UV enhancement
• Applications: Soft plastics and hard baits, including spoons, spinners, and swimbaits
• Selection: Individual scent choices shown in the selector

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Start with a light coating. Spread a small amount on the lure body, then check its swimming action beside the boat or bank before making a full cast.
2. Check and refresh. Inspect the coating after repeated casts, a fish, or contact with weeds. Reapply when needed instead of assuming one application lasts the entire trip.
3. Test one change at a time. Keep your lure, depth, and retrieve consistent when comparing scents so you can make a useful comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Super Gel on soft plastics?

Yes. Pro-Cure specifies Super Gel for soft plastics and hard baits. Follow any separate care instructions supplied with your particular lure.

Is Super Gel a liquid scent?

No. It is a sticky gel applied to the bait or lure surface. Choose it when you prefer a coating rather than a spray or liquid application.

Which scent should I buy?

Use local forage and your presentation as a starting point. The scent names in the selector identify different options; no single choice is guaranteed to work best in every situation.

How often should I reapply it?

Check the lure regularly and renew the coating as it wears away. Water movement, retrieve speed, and contact with cover can affect how often it needs attention.

Can I use it in freshwater and saltwater?

Yes. Select a scent profile suited to the forage and fishing approach you want to try.

The AFTCO Gold Series Bait Net makes scooping live bait from your tank easier with bait-friendly knotless mesh, a recessed net design and a lightweight aluminum handle. It is a practical choice for anglers who want controlled bait handling without wrestling a bulky landing net around the livewell.

Less Tank-Wall Wear, Easier Bait Handling

Knotless woven polyester mesh provides a bait-friendly scoop, while the recessed net design helps keep the mesh away from tank walls to reduce abrasion. The flat bottom and sides help corner fast-moving bait, and the rounded profile fits into livewell corners. These details are useful when an anchovy or sardine keeps slipping away just as you are ready to rig it.

The gold anodized aluminum handle and hoop keep the net easy to maneuver, and the black foam grip gives you a secure place to hold it with wet hands. The mesh is designed for demanding, repeated use, but gentle scooping and avoiding unnecessary contact with tank surfaces are still worthwhile habits. No net can guarantee damage-free bait handling.

Match the Reach to Your Livewell

Choose the handle length around tank depth, access and available working room. A shorter handle is easier to work in a compact space; a longer handle provides extra reach into a deeper tank but needs more clearance around the opening. Compare the 8-inch and 10-inch hoop widths with your livewell opening before choosing. As a practical sizing guide, choose a handle longer than your deepest tank depth to help keep it within reach rather than relying on the net to float.

Best for: scooping anchovies, sardines, menhaden and mackerel for live-bait fishing, including fly-lining and bait rigs. Use it at the livewell while preparing a fresh bait, whether you are fishing inshore or offshore. Select a size that suits both your bait and your tank; this is a bait scoop, not a landing net for your catch.

Details That Make Each Scoop Simpler

• Knotless woven polyester mesh for bait-friendly handling and repeated use.
• Recessed netting helps protect the mesh from tank-wall abrasion.
• Flat bottom and sides help guide fast-moving bait into the scoop.
• Rounded profile works into livewell corners.
• Gold anodized aluminum handles with black foam grips.
• Four combinations of 12-, 18- and 24-inch handles with 8- or 10-inch hoops.

Find Your Handle and Hoop Combination

All listed sizes share knotless woven polyester mesh, an aluminum hoop, a gold anodized aluminum handle and a black foam grip. Dimensions refer to handle length and hoop width, not overall net length.

Tackle Express Tips

• Measure the tank opening as well as its depth. The hoop needs room to pass through and turn without scraping the sides.
• Guide bait toward a corner and scoop smoothly rather than chasing it repeatedly around the tank. Keep time out of the water brief.
• Prepare your rig before scooping. For a light-wire circle-hook option, consider Owner Mutu Light Circle Hooks; complete your leader setup with Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader, choosing hook size and leader strength for your bait and target fish.

A Few Things to Know Before You Choose

Which size should I buy?
Start with tank depth and opening width. Choose enough handle reach to access the bait comfortably, then check that an 8- or 10-inch hoop will fit and maneuver inside the opening.

What makes the mesh bait-friendly?
The woven polyester mesh is knotless. The recessed design also helps keep the netting away from abrasive tank walls. Gentle handling remains important for keeping bait in good condition.

What bait can I scoop with it?
The net is suited to live bait such as anchovies, sardines, menhaden and mackerel. Match hoop size to the bait you carry and the space in your livewell.

Can I use it to land fish?
Choose this net for scooping bait from a tank. Use a purpose-built landing net for bringing your catch aboard.

The Dirty Jigs Pivot Point Football Jig Head is a unique and innovative jig design that maximizes the action of your soft plastic baits. By featuring two wire loops—one for a 60-degree line tie and the other connecting to a pivoting Gamakatsu SuperLine Offset EWG Hook—this jig allows for unmatched movement and lifelike presentation. When rigging a soft plastic bait such as a craw, creature, or worm, the bait has more freedom to float and move naturally in the water, increasing its effectiveness in attracting fish.

To ensure the best performance, it’s important to rig your bait so that it doesn't cover the hook eye. This allows the bait to move more freely and enhances the natural swimming action, which is key to enticing strikes.

If you're targeting bass or other species, this jig head is a fantastic choice to improve your chances of success with soft plastics. Have you used a similar jig design before, or are you looking to try something new?

A unique keeled tail produces high-frequency vibration even at ultra-slow retrieve speeds, and the signature Basstrix hollow body collapses on the strike for superior hook-up ratios. Pair it with a Basstrix Mini Trix Head (1/8 oz recommended) for the most realistic presentation in the water. Deadly for crappie, trout, bass, and surf perch in both fresh and saltwater.

Key Features

Berkley PowerBait Atomic Teasers are pre-rigged mini jigs for trout, crappie, and other panfish. The teaser combines a tentacled tube profile with a worm-like tail for subtle movement on a slow retrieve or beneath a float.

Check your selected option: This listing also includes variants explicitly labeled “no tail.” Those options do not have the extended teaser tail. Choose by both the weight and the complete variant name.

Why choose an Atomic Teaser?

• Pre-rigged convenience: Start with a ready-to-fish presentation instead of matching a separate tube and jighead.
• PowerBait formula: Berkley's scent and flavor formula is built into the bait.
• Subtle movement: Cut tentacles and the teaser tail suit small movements and pauses.

Choose your weight and style

These are presentation guidelines, not fixed depth ratings. Line diameter, retrieve speed, and current affect how the jig fishes. Compare the selected weight and color before adding to cart. A light trout rod and small spinning reel help present these lightweight jigs.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Start with the shop's light-line approach. Our existing setup recommendation is 2–4 lb line, tied directly to the jig or used as a leader. Increase line strength when cover or larger fish require it; check frequently for abrasion.
2. Use a float to control depth. Start with roughly 2–3 feet between float and jig where the water depth allows, then adjust to keep the bait near the fish and above bottom obstructions. Use a float that can support the selected jig weight.
3. Slow the retrieve before adding more action. Let the jig sink briefly, then retrieve slowly with occasional pauses. Watch the line or float for changes and lift smoothly into the fish rather than using an abrupt, heavy hookset on light line.

Frequently asked questions

Are Atomic Teasers pre-rigged?

Yes. Berkley describes Atomic Teasers as pre-rigged and ready to fish. You still need your rod, reel, line, and a float if using a float presentation.

Do all options have a worm-like tail?

No. This product listing includes options marked “no tail.” Read the complete option name to choose the intended profile.

Which weight should I choose?

Try 1/32 oz when a light presentation is manageable. Step up to 1/16 oz if you need additional casting weight or better control. Neither weight has one universal fishing depth.

Can I fish these under a bobber?

Yes. Set the float-to-jig distance for the water depth and where fish are holding. Small movements and pauses can help keep the presentation in one area.

Phenix Finesse Slider Weights are exactly like the Mojo weights we used to know and love! Perfect for split-shotting and carolina rigging due to their long, cylindrical shape. This shape also allows them to come through cover and rocks with ease.

The C3 Baits Shimmys 3" is one of the most trusted finesse soft plastics on Southern California's hardest-fished reservoirs — Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake, and Lake Piru. Narrow, buoyant, and just 3 inches long, the Shimmy has an incredibly natural, light profile in the water that pressured bass simply can't resist. Hand-poured and delivered by Captain Castaic himself, John Petroski, every Shimmy reflects over 40 years of dialed-in experience on the same local waters.

The Shimmy's slender profile makes it the go-to choice when fish are ultra-finicky — it excels on a dropshot or Carolina rig, producing bites year-round by matching the color to the hatch. Each pack includes 15 baits, giving you serious value for your finesse game.

Key Features

• 3" narrow, buoyant profile — ultra-natural and light in the water column
• Slimmer than the Ice Pick — ideal for the most finicky, pressured bass
• Deadly on dropshot and Carolina rig presentations
• Hand-poured and 100% handcrafted in Castaic, CA — made in USA
• Colors dialed in by Captain Castaic with 40+ years on the same local lakes
• 15 baits per pack — exceptional value
• Produces year-round — match the color to conditions

Specifications

Also try the C3 Baits Ice Pick for a slightly rounder pin tail profile.

Watch It In Action

Sunline Super FC Sniper Fluorocarbon Line is a versatile mainline for spinning and casting tackle. Sunline's triple-resin processing is designed to improve suppleness, reduce memory and provide abrasion resistance. Choose both pound test and spool length: this listing includes 200-, 165- and 660-yard options.

Choose your strength and spool length

• 200 yards: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 14 lb.
• 165 yards: 16, 20 and 25 lb.
• 660 yards: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 lb.

For light-line and finesse presentations, start with a pound test that matches your rod, reel and hook. The 5–7 lb options are worth considering for drop-shot and shaky-head setups where cover permits lighter line. Heavier tests suit appropriately rated casting tackle and larger presentations. Check reel capacity as well as line strength before moving up a size.

A 660-yard spool can be useful when filling several reels or replacing mainline regularly. The number of fills depends on reel capacity, pound test and backing; spool length alone does not determine how many reels you can fill.

Line diameter reference

The chart includes additional sizes in the FC Sniper range. Use the product selector for the strength and spool-length combinations offered here. Millimeter figures are rounded.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Read both parts of the option label. A 16 lb filler spool contains 165 yards, while the 16 lb bulk option contains 660 yards.
2. Control loose coils. Fill to the reel manufacturer's recommended level under even tension. On spinning tackle, close the bail by hand and take up slack before retrieving.
3. Inspect before the next cast. Check the working end after contact with cover. Cut back past rough spots and retie rather than relying on abrasion resistance to compensate for damage.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use FC Sniper on spinning or casting reels?

Yes. Match the line strength and diameter to the reel's capacity and your rod's line rating.

Are all smaller spools 200 yards?

No. The 5–14 lb filler options listed here are 200 yards; the 16, 20 and 25 lb filler options are 165 yards.

When should I choose 660 yards?

Consider it when you use the same pound test on several reels or respool often. Check how much line each reel needs before ordering.

Does low memory mean the line cannot coil or twist?

No. Low-memory processing helps handling, but reel fill, spooling technique and lure rotation can still affect line management.
