River2Sea Whopper Plopper 60 Bone — Small Topwater Bass Lure

Meet the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 60 Bone, a compact topwater lure built to deliver bold surface action in a small package. At 2 3/8 inches long and weighing 1/4 ounce, it fits into tight casts and waters where a smaller forage profile can spark curiosity without sacrificing presence. The Bone color is part of River2Sea's eight-color topwater lineup, designed to perform across clear, stained, and transitional water.

Design and action

The Whopper Plopper 60 uses a rotating propeller-like tail that creates rumbling, multi-octave plops and splash sounds with every retrieve. This distinctive noise profile helps the lure stand out against more monotone surface chatter while staying true to the classic Whopper Plopper heritage. The tail is engineered for durability, standing up to rocks, wood, and larger freshwater fish in demanding conditions. A deeper, wider belly gives a bluegill-like silhouette, offering a familiar profile at topwater speeds.

• Compact 2 3/8" body and 1/4 oz weight for versatile casting
• Rotating propeller tail creates rumbling, multi-octave plops
• Durable tail built to resist damage from structure and big bass
• Deeper, wider belly resembles smaller forage like bluegill
• Eight essential topwater colors to match water and light conditions

On the water: real-world use

When the topwater bite is active but bass are wary, the Whopper Plopper 60 offers a smaller yet assertive option. Its compact size can be advantageous on pressured fish, or when forage bases lean toward smaller prey. The lure shines along weed edges, near structure, and over open water flats where bass hunt shallow prestaties and surface targets.

• Great for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass when topwater action rules
• Best used with a steady retrieve or a deliberate pause to let the tail work
• Effective around rocks, wood, and other cover where bass ambush prey
• Works well in clear to moderately stained water with varying light levels

Colors, durability, and the classic Whopper Plopper action come together in a compact package that you can rely on across a range of water conditions. While results vary by day and location, the 60 Bone offers a lighter, mobile alternative that preserves the signature surface action you expect from River2Sea. Model WPL60/14 in Bone is just one of eight essential topwater options designed to help you adapt to changing fishing moments.
