Eagle Claw 774 5/0 treble hook on the front and heat shrunk 4/0 hook on the back make this one of the best hooking topwaters available. Beautiful color popping epoxy clear coat and 3-D eyes like all Lee Lures. This lure style has been a secret of the pros for too long. Flat or rough, the “Whopper Popper” is comfortable in any conditions.

Performance tips:
The “Whopper Popper” is the lure of choice when fish are only following other surface baits. Its subtle action seems to trigger pressured fish. Under rougher conditions, try a faster retrieve. Or, try reeling ultra slow in flat conditions. These baits have produced many large fish and they don’t get the water time like other surface baits. They will work in as big of waves as you can stand up in!
