Museum Archive: Vintage Bayou Boogie Whopper Stopper, 1/4oz Yellow fishing lure #8831

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this lipless crankbait demonstrates the classic USA-made craftsmanship associated with the Bayou Boogie series. The 2" (5cm) profile is finished in a vibrant yellow base, accented by a distinct green spot surrounding the eye and a subtle orange wash on the leading edge of the nose. Identified by product code 8831, this specific specimen features a top-mounted line tie which characterizes its sinking nature. Whopper Stopper designed these to be noise-making tools, effective for searching through various water columns for species like crappie or bass. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks that remain sturdy. This particular lure earns a 4/5 condition rating, displaying clean surfaces and well-preserved paint with only minor signs of its vintage journey.
