Overview
Built for surface presentations, this topwater bait is designed to make the classic walk-the-dog retrieve easier to work and more versatile on the water. Its protruding sphere under the face helps create side-to-side action, while a harder twitch can add a splash-forward, just-below-surface move for a more aggressive presentation. An internal moving weighting system produces a knocking sound during the retrieve and supports long casting ability. Offered in proven colors, it suits anglers targeting bass with a lure style many fish in North America may not have seen often.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a walking-the-dog retrieve to get the intended surface action, so it’s less forgiving if you prefer a simple straight retrieve.
- The splash-and-dive presentation depends on a harder twitch at the top of the walk, which adds a bit more technique to the retrieve.
- At 3/4 oz, it’s a committed topwater option rather than a subtle finesse bait.
- The lure is offered in a range of proven colors, but color choice still matters when matching conditions and target fish behavior.
