Overview
Built on a proven surface-lure design, this jointed version is aimed at anglers who want a more animated presentation and a stronger surface disturbance. The lower pull-point is intended to create intense action in the water, while the updated hook hangers are designed to let the hooks move freely without slowing forward momentum. A black-nickel finish helps keep the hardware less noticeable, and the feathered rear treble adds extra movement when the lure pauses. It is a straightforward choice for targeting fish that respond to topwater commotion and stop-and-go retrieves.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The lower pull-point is designed for a more intense action, which may be less subtle than anglers want in calmer or heavily pressured water.
- The feathered rear treble adds movement on the pause, but that also means the lure’s action is more dependent on stop-and-go retrieves.
- Updated hook hangers are built to allow freer hook movement, which is a useful nuance but may feel different from more rigid hardware setups.
- The black-nickel finish is intended to reduce visibility, but the lure still relies on presentation and retrieve timing rather than concealment alone.
