A prominent metal diving lip defines the front profile of this USA-made classic, allowing it to reach depths of 6.6 ft (2 m) during a retrieve. This 2/5 oz (12 g) specimen features a traditional shad-like pattern, transitioning from a dark grey back to silver-white sides, accented by a subtle red blush beneath the throat. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the finish remains crisp, highlighting the detailed gill plates and the yellow-rimmed eyes that characterize the Whopper Stopper Hellbender. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the lure’s unique humped body is rigged with two robust treble hooks secured via screw eyes. A small silver spinner blade is attached to the rear, a signature design element found on Product Code 7429. While primarily sought after by collectors, this configuration was originally engineered for both casting and trolling applications.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
