Museum Archive: Vintage Bayou Boogie Whopper Stopper, 1/2oz crappie fishing lure #7528

Crappie finishes like this one often show off the detailed stenciling and mesh-scale patterns that Whopper Stopper was known for in the USA. At 2 3/4" (7cm) long, the Bayou Boogie Whopper Stopper (Product Code 7528) carries a 1/2oz (14g) weight, categorizing it as a sinking, rattling lure designed for deeper coverage. Looking at the head, you'll see the signature red-painted chin and the yellow painted eyes that give this specimen its character. The original treble hooks remain securely attached to the belly and tail. Its condition sits at a 4/5, exhibiting slight surface marks that confirm its history without detracting from the overall visual appeal. The teal-to-cream gradient on the sides is particularly well-defined, transitioning smoothly under the dark spotting.
