Overview

This topwater bait is built for anglers who want a more noticeable presentation when targeting bass at the surface. Its jointed design adds a livelier action, while the clicking sound provides extra auditory attraction day or night. The tail-wagging movement and added flash give the lure a more active profile than the original design, making it a practical choice when a classic topwater approach needs more presence. Available in classic bass colors, it offers a familiar style with a different feel for surface fishing.
