Tropical Tempest 5g Whopper Plopper

Tropical Tempest 5g Whopper Plopper

Buoyancy: Floating (Strict Topwater)
Positive Buoyancy: At 5g (~3/16 oz), this finesse-sized bait floats high on top of the water film when resting.

Surface Only: It does not sink or dive under the surface during retrieval.

Diving Depth: 0m (Surface Only / 0 feet)
Surface Action: Works strictly along the very top layer of the water column.

Propeller Tail Action: The revolving clear rear prop rotates around the internal shaft as you reel, churning out a tight, high-pitched "plopping" sound and surface splash.

Action and Retrieval Techniques
Finesse Application: Works exceptionally well with light spinning or BFS (Bait Finesse System) tackle. Best thrown near lily pads, shallow weedlines, docks, or overhanging brush where larger lures might spook fish.

Retrieval Styles: Use a steady, light-to-medium retrieve to keep the prop tail sputtering continuously, or add short pauses and subtle twitches for reluctant biters.

High Contrast Flash: The hot pink spine fading into a bright chartreuse/yellow belly—crossed by dark metallic blue tiger bands—creates high visual contrast in stained water, early mornings, or overcast conditions.

Target Species: Ideal for Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass, Panfish/Crappie, Trout, and shallow-water Pike.
