Topwater Fishing Lures

Rapala Claptail 110 — Topwater Chaos on Demand

Few things in fishing match the explosion of a topwater strike, and the Rapala Claptail 110 is built to make it happen. This prop bait delivers an irresistible clapping, chugging surface action that drives bass, pike, and other predators into a frenzy. Work it with sharp twitches for a frantic walk-the-dog action, or slow it down for a subtle prop churn — either way, the Claptail 110 demands attention on the surface.

Key Features

• Dual prop design — creates a loud, splashing surface disturbance that triggers reaction strikes
• Clapping topwater action — unique sound and vibration profile sets it apart from standard prop baits
• Premium VMC hooks — sharp out of the box and built for solid hooksets
• Versatile retrieve — works with twitching, steady retrieve, or pause-and-go cadence
• Available in 2 proven freshwater color patterns: Broken Bone and Black Back Shad

Pro Tips

The Claptail 110 shines in calm to slightly choppy conditions around structure — docks, weed edges, and points. Use a steady twitch-pause retrieve to maximize the prop clap and give fish time to commit. Fluorocarbon or monofilament in the 12–17 lb range is ideal for keeping the bait in the strike zone.

Features:

• The River2Sea Saltwater Silent Whopper Plopper 130S is a silent, 5 inch, 1 3/8 ounce saltwater-optimized model of the Whopper Plopper.

• Tail is made of super-tough plastic that flexes right back into place whether it gets chomped on or gets cast into a bridge piling.
• Pre-rigged with size 1 EWG 4X Strong treble hooks.
• Available in a select range of saltwater fishing colorways.

The River2Sea Silent Whopper Plopper 130S is a 5-inch, 1 3/8 ounce model of the legendary topwater prop lure created by Larry Dahlberg. Unlike the regular 130, the Saltwater Silent version doesn't have any noisy rattles, making it perfect for calm water fishing where the prop's surface action is enough to attract fish.

Its tail is made of super-tough plastic that flexes right back into place whether it gets chomped on or gets cast into a bridge piling. And since they are molded from high-quality plastic, every single one comes out of the box with the perfect tail size and angle to make a sound that simply drives fish crazy. The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130S is "roll-resistant" and works well at a variety of speeds. Sound experiments have suggested that even at constant speeds the tail kicks out sounds that vary as much as an octave in pitch as opposed to the more monotone metal tails.
