BUZZBAITS
ima US Buzz
The oversized blade creates a large bubble trail and
loud squeaking noise. The head design is supposed to
help it get on the surface quickly and stay there, even
at slow speeds. $15.99

A COOL IDEA: RIVER2SEA DOUBLE PLOPPER
River2Sea’s Whopper Plopper is the hottest topwater bait in the busi-
ness right now. Building on the Plopper’s success, the company created the
Double Plopper, which features – you guessed it – two Plopper blades for
double the “plopping.”
The Double Plopper is similar to a double-bladed buzzbait, but it
floats, so it can be paused on the surface or fished at crawling speeds. The
blades counter rotate to create a commotion on the surface. Trailing back
from between the blades is a fish-shaped body with a skirt and the 5/0,
2X-strong hook. $17.84
