Color is a useful finishing choice for a Whopper Plopper, but size, retrieve speed, surface chop and light level usually determine whether the lure can be tracked. River2Sea’s named finishes give anglers practical silhouettes to try: dark Loon, high-visibility Bone and translucent options cover many water and sky conditions.
