I ordered some topwater lures and seen the bubble walker had some good reviews. It had the 3 inch”80” and 5 inch “128”so I figured I would go with the 5... I didn’t think it would be that huge! I mean the walking baits come in 5 inches but much smaller looking profile. This thing looks like a musky popper.. has anyone ever had any luck with these with small and large size bass ? Wondering how good the draw power is or is it to big. I live in NY so not to many 10 pounders swimming around eating huge baits lol. Thank in advance.  

I have the smaller 80 size but I think the 128 would be a fine LMB lure. I've had bass hit lures that are as big as they are so I wouldn't sweat the larger size...if a bass thinks it can fit in their mouth they will eat it!

It's not too big.  This is a 190 sized Whopper Plopper (7 1/2 inches), and this smallmouth had no problem crushing it.

 

Seems like bass have eyes bigger than their stomachs.

Actually It's fallen victim to too many of the same type of lures and I haven't used it too much so it hasn't caught anything yet but it does have a nice action to it.

I love the 80's, but couldn't get the desired action out of the 128 bubble walker. It's not so much the length of the bait, the thing is bigger around than a dill pickle.

Yeah ! That’s what I was worried about. The girth on that sucker is crazy lol

I'm not sure if size is really matter on top water lure. I have WP 130, Super Spook and R2S rover 128. I have yet to caught anything on them. I don't use these a lot, in fact I have not use it at all this year. 

The 80 size is just like the popmax.  Never ordered the bigger 128 as I use my mattlures meat head or baby 316 wake for larger topwaters.  In your area pike pickeral and musky will smoke a bait that big.

Going out tomorrow so I hope to catch something

I had plenty of pike destroy my loon whopper plopper soooo... loon! Or white 

Red/white and yellow/red are the most common pike spoons.  They seem to love perch and sysco as main forage.

See that’s funny bc I have never caught a pike on those , I have had bet luck with black/red , black/white , white/chartreuse 

My biggest came on a #3 maps spinner and my second came on a rapala shadrap in walleye.
