Overview

River2Sea's WPL90/17 is a 3.5 inch, half ounce topwater walking lure in the Phantom Shad pattern, built with a high carbon steel treble hook and sold as a single piece.

Topwater lures like this one work the surface rather than diving, so the presentation depends on rod-tip cadence more than lure shape. The listing pairs it with crappie, trout and panfish rather than the largemouth bass this style is often marketed toward, so match it to your target species before tying it on. It ships as one lure with a single treble hook, not a multi-pack.

  • 3.5 inch, 1/2 ounce topwater body
  • Phantom Shad color pattern
  • High carbon steel treble hook
  • Sold as a single lure

Who it's for

Anglers chasing crappie, trout or panfish on top water who want a walking style lure rather than a popper or buzzbait. Bass anglers looking for a typical plopper style presentation should confirm species fit first, since this listing is scoped to panfish species.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sized for panfish, trout and crappie topwater fishing
  • High carbon steel treble hook
  • Named Phantom Shad color pattern
Cons
  • Ships as a single lure, not a multi-pack
  • No listed alternate colors or sizes

Performance notes

The lure carries a single high carbon steel treble hook and weighs about 1.12 ounces at 3.5 inches, sized for a walking or plopping retrieve rather than a fast subsurface presentation. It comes as one piece, so there is no backup if a hook bends or the paint chips.
