Kingdom Micro Whopper Plopper Topwater Bass Lure
The Kingdom Goldpop Micro Whopper Plopper is a compact topwater bait built around a single rear propeller blade that chops the surface and throws a distinct splashing wake. Its shad-style profile and lifelike 3D eyes give bass a realistic silhouette to key in on, while the weighted floating body sits steady in the water column between pulls.
On a steady or stop-go retrieve, the prop blade kicks side to side and pops the surface, mimicking a fleeing baitfish. This makes it a strong choice for largemouth working shallow flats, laydowns, and grass edges, and for smallmouth feeding on baitfish near rocky points during calm low light conditions.

How to fish it
- Cast past cover such as laydowns, grass edges, or rock points and let the bait sit until the rings disperse.
- Use a slow steady retrieve to keep the prop chugging and popping continuously.
- Work a stop-go cadence, pausing 1 to 2 seconds after each short pull to let the splash fade before the next strike window.
- Fish it during low light hours or overcast conditions when bass are actively feeding near the surface.
Frequently asked
Its compact 35mm size works well for both largemouth and smallmouth, and is especially effective when bass are keyed on smaller baitfish or during finesse topwater bites.
In clear water, natural shad or gold patterns like this one blend in well. In stained or murky water, brighter or darker high-contrast colors help bass locate the bait by silhouette and vibration.
A medium-light to medium spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon lets the bait float naturally and keeps enough shock absorption for topwater strikes.
It performs best from spring through fall when bass are feeding on baitfish near the surface, and works for both largemouth in vegetation and smallmouth around rocky structure.
