Bill Lewis Baby Bubbler 55 - Ghost Bluegill | 2-Inch Topwater Plopper

Compact topwater lure that creates surface drama

The Bill Lewis Baby Bubbler 55 in Ghost Bluegill blends a tiny, palm-friendly profile with a plopper-style topwater action that sits on the water's surface and delivers a distinct popping wake. At two inches, it slides through the water with minimal resistance, allowing you to place it near banks, docks, and structure with accuracy. The Ghost Bluegill pattern borrows the look of a native forage fish and flashes subtly as it skims across the water, triggering curiosity in nearby predator species. Its solid construction aims to hold up under repeated strikes while you experiment with different retrieves.

On the surface, the propeller tail spins up a lively cadence—creating noise, ripples, and a short bubble trail that can draw attention from a distance. This combination of sight and sound is designed to give you an edge in clear, tinted, or stained water conditions. The lure is built around premium hardware, including Mustad Triple Grip Hooks, which provide secure hookups when a strike arrives and reduce the likelihood of lost fish on the way to the boat or shore.
