About this guide

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.

Buying tips

  • Begin with Bone for visibility or Loon for a strong silhouette, then adjust only when the conditions suggest it.
  • Retrieve speed changes the plop and track more than paint does.
  • Inspect hooks and split rings after fish or cover contact.
