Overview
Built for situations where fish are keyed in on smaller forage or have seen plenty of pressure, this downsized walking bait offers a more compact topwater option without changing the presentation style. Its rear-weighted design is intended to help it cast efficiently, while the balanced body makes it easier to work side to side for a wounded- or feeding-baitfish look. The cupped mouth adds a pop-and-spit action that creates a stronger surface disturbance, giving anglers another way to draw attention when a subtle walk is not enough.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Its downsized profile is intended for smaller bait situations, so it may not be the right choice when fish are keyed on larger forage.
- The lure is designed to be walked back and forth, so getting the intended action depends on steady rod control and timing.
- Its topwater presentation is built around surface disturbance, which means it is best suited to conditions where fish are willing to rise.
- The cupped mouth adds a popping and spitting action, but that style of retrieve is more specialized than a simple straight retrieve.
