Yes, it floats and is designed to work at the surface, not as a diving lure. Start a steady retrieve after casting. It responds immediately, while its loud sound and golf-ball texture create surface disturbance even on short retrieves. Short pauses can be used to vary the rhythm.
They differ in finish only. Perch, Firetiger UV, Roach and Glow all measure 16 cm, weigh 55 g and carry two 4X strong size 1/0 trebles. Choose the finish you want without changing the lure's dimensions or fitted hooks. One lure is supplied per package.
Its primary target is large European catfish in freshwater. Through-wire construction and two 4X strong trebles support that use. Pair the 55 g lure with a suitable catfish rod or powerful pike rod. The supplier also mentions large pike and perch, but this is not a small, light perch lure.
Rinse the lure in clean water after use, especially after fishing around algae, and dry it fully before storage. This helps prevent corrosion on the two fitted trebles. Check the points regularly for sharpness so hook condition remains part of your pre-fishing check.

The Madcat Cat Plopper is a floating surface lure designed for large European catfish in freshwater. It starts working as soon as you retrieve it and produces a very loud sound. Through-wire construction and two 4X strong treble hooks in size 1/0 provide the strength intended for this fishing.
At 16 cm and 55 g, the Cat Plopper presents a substantial lure without excessive casting weight. It casts easily and makes a distinct splash on landing. Start with a steady retrieve immediately after casting. Its immediate response is useful on short retrieves around bankside timber or edges, where little distance is available to get the lure working. You can also vary the retrieve rhythm with short pauses. The golf-ball-textured surface creates extra turbulence, adding water disturbance to the loud sound.
Its main application is surface fishing for catfish in rivers, lakes and large reservoirs, including current seams, bridge areas and reed edges. The supplier also identifies quiet surface zones at night, dusk and early morning as suitable situations. Large pike and perch are mentioned as additional possible targets, though the design is primarily for catfish. Catfish rods or powerful pike rods with a casting rating suitable for the 55 g lure are appropriate.
The continuous wire connects the hook attachment points through the lure, providing a direct connection under load. Both size 1/0 trebles are fitted and have a 4X strength rating, so the lure comes equipped with hooks for its intended large-fish use.
Choose between Perch, Firetiger UV, Roach and Glow. Every version is 16 cm long, weighs 55 g, floats and has the same hook configuration. The choice is therefore the finish, not a change in size, weight or buoyancy. Firetiger UV and Glow retain their supplier colour names, but no comparative colour-performance guidance is provided. Each package contains one lure in the selected colour.
Rinse the lure with clean water, particularly after fishing in algae-rich water. Dry it fully before storage to help prevent corrosion on the trebles, and check the hook points regularly for sharpness.
