Kingdom GoldPop Micro Whopper Plopper Topwater Bass Lure
Kingdom GoldPop Micro Whopper Plopper Topwater Bass Lure
The GoldPop is a compact prop-tail topwater bait built for bass that want a smaller, more subtle surface disturbance than a full-size plopper. The rear propeller kicks out a tight splash and audible plop with each rod twitch, drawing strikes from fish keyed in on small baitfish or fry. Its 35mm body sits low and stable on the surface, making it easy to walk or pop in place.
This size makes it a strong choice for finesse topwater situations such as clear water, pressured lakes, or early morning calm when bass are cautious. It casts well on light spinning gear and shines around isolated cover, bank grass, and shallow flats where largemouth and smallmouth ambush from below.

How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover or shallow flats and let the ripples settle before the first twitch.
- Use short rod snaps with pauses to make the prop tail plop and spit without over-skating the bait.
- Slow the retrieve near cover edges or laydowns where bass often strike on the pause.
- Switch to a steady walk-the-dog cadence in open water to cover more area between casts.
