River2Sea WPL110/17 Whopper Plopper – Phantom Shad Topwater Lure, 4 3/8 in, 3/4 oz

Meet the River2Sea WPL110/17 Whopper Plopper in the Phantom Shad finish, a topwater lure designed for surface action that catches attention at a distance and up close. At 4 3/8 inches long and weighing 3/4 oz, this model balances casting reach with a lively, audible profile on the retrieve. The WPL110/17 is built to deliver a steady, uninterrupted wake across the water, drawing inquisitive fish from the shadows of docks, weed lines, and open pockets. The Phantom Shad color offers a lifelike profile with subtle reflective highlights that can mimic a fleeing baitfish as light shifts along the water surface. No rattles keep the sound footprint clean, letting the lure’s own wake and push-pull action carry the show in calmer moments or in pressured fishing spots.

Two critical components contribute to its performance. The lure comes with two River2Sea treble hooks sized #2, designed to secure a solid hookup when a strike comes from any angle. The topwater profile is reinforced by a wake and a rolling motion that stays visible as you vary the cadence. The combination of size, weight, and action makes it versatile for everyday casts as well as longer presentations across a range of water conditions. This model ships from China and is part of River2Sea’s modern lineup that emphasizes a durable, ready-to-fish design for anglers who want a responsive topwater option that can be used in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.

On the water, you may notice the Whopper Plopper’s cadence responding to your retrieve. Try a steady pull with a brief pause to reveal the lure’s final surface pop, or add a quick flutter to provoke curiosity along weed edges, around docks, or near drop-offs. In clearer water, the Phantom Shad hue can show subtle flash as the lure passes by, while in stained water the contrast helps maintain visibility against the surface glare. With no rattles, the lure can be less intrusive in highly pressured fisheries, letting fish focus on the visual and sonic cues of the wake rather than a constant rattling taunt.
