River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 Munky Butt WPL75/13 – Topwater Musky Lure

Overview

River2Sea’s Whopper Plopper 75 – Munky Butt (WPL75/13) is a topwater lure built to spark attention on the water’s surface and just below. Designed by the legendary angler Larry Dahlberg, this bait pairs a soft, pliable tail with a rugged body to produce distinctive rumbles that respond to different retrieve speeds and depths. The tail rotates on a secure harness, creating a natural disturbance that can draw strikes from musky and other large predators. The design is tuned to endure the rough realities of real-world fishing—bouncing off rocks, snagging on stumps, and the occasional aggressive bite—so you can focus on positioning and pacing rather than worrying about durability.

Benefits in the water

The soft tail rotates, generating rumbles that you can feel at varied retrieve speeds and depths, which helps mimic a wounded baitfish. The combination of surface presence and tail action creates a disturbance that can attract attention from muskies as they scan the water column. The 75 mm profile is versatile enough to be cast into bays, along weed lines, and near structure, offering opportunities across multiple water types.

• Topwater action that can attract muskies and other large predators
• Durable tail and harness designed to withstand rocks and stumps
• Balanced 9/16 oz weight with a 3-inch body for controlled casts and effective starts
• Two robust Treble hooks ready for confident hookups

Real-world use and tips

In practice, anglers vary retrieves to test what the water, weather, and target species respond to. Slow, steady cranks produce a consistent rumble, while faster pulls create bigger surface disturbances to trigger aggression. Use near weed lines, rocky areas, and open shorelines to explore where muskies are hunting. The lure’s durability gives you freedom to explore these zones without frequent regrouping.

• Experiment with speed and depth to find the strike zone
• Cast from shorelines or boats and work parallel to cover
• Pair with follow-up lures if a follow is observed
