The Berkley Choppo is a plopper-style topwater lure designed for bass and other surface feeding sportfish. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, this easy to use top water lure is designed to deliver explosive top water action. Chunk and wind the Berkley® Choppo around cover and in open water for a serious waking action. The Choppo's durable tail propeller won't melt in your tackle box and the enhanced surface area provides more sound and spray. The precision balance of the bait ensures that it's action begins immediately and it swims straight at a variety of speeds.
All sizes can be cast and retrieved around all types of shallow cover, the 75 (3 inch) & 90 (3 2/7 inch) is best suited for calmer conditions, while the 120 (4 1/2 inch) can be used in calm to choppy conditions. The newer 105 (4 1/8 inch) sizes is good a halfway point between the two, good for both calm conditions when fish are into larger forage and choppier water when you want something with a smaller profile than the 120 size
Pre-rigged with Fusion19 treble hooks and available in 10 mostly baitfish-imitating colors.
⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to carbon black, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Works good and the different sizes are better than others that make similar. Need a chartreuse option though.

Choppo Leads the Way Into Fall
My order was picked, packed and shipped the same day and arrived within 48 hours. As the fall weather rolls into NH, I have been fishing topwater only. Choppo has been a great smallmouth lure. I have doubled the size of the average fish I catch.
Nice catch! We appreciate the awesome review!

So far i like how quick i receive the products & how they were shipped. I haven’t used them yet, but going fishing next week! 👍
Ned Rigs were introduced to me 3 years ago. I can always count on them to catch fish, any fish. Just like the Z-Man TRD, I can always count on Discount Tackle for quick delivery and fair prices. The box stores have gotten ridiculously priced. I found Discount Tackle this year and have ordered often from them several times times. I appreciate their pricing, inventory and fast delivery. Even paying shipping I’m saving money and getting the lures and colors I want. Discount Tackle is my go to store for stocking my tackle box!
Great reel but not sure TW is worth the price difference
I just picked up one of these after using a Lexa 300 HD for many seasons. I use them for fishing 2-5oz swimbaits on the California coast, typically in 30-100 FOW while drifting.
Pros compared with Lexa HD:
- I like that the TW line offers the lower 6.3:1 gear ratio that's marginally better for California halibut while still having essentially the same line per turn as the 7.4:1 Lexa HD, which I've found to be very beneficial while on the drift (I can't use the 6.3:1 Lexa HD in the afternoon, when the drift picks up, because it doesn't retrieve line fast enough to maintain good swimbait action)
- I do think it casts farther than the Lexa HD, but I'm still feeling out whether I think that extra distance is worth the extra cost
Cons compared with the Lexa HD:
- I prefer the HD's counter-balanced handle and smaller knob. I haven't yet had the TW's handle swing while casting, causing the spool to engage and cast to get cut short, which I've read online can happen; I've been purposefully positioning the handle before casting to avoid this, but I'd prefer not having to do that or think about this. And while you can find the other handle online and swap it on, that just adds to the cost (plus, some handles found online don't come with the appropriate nut plate and screw; you have to order them separately from Daiwa).
- Cost
But overall, it's still a Lexa, which means it's buttery smooth, well built and well sealed. If cost is not a factor, the TW is probably worth it, and I have seen them go on sale from time-to-time at a cost very similar to the HD.
After using other Zman soft plastics this lure us over superior to other lures due to its vibration and the lures panicking action and its flashing being able to catch anything bass to trout over all I give it a 5/5 it is just perfect.
