Overview
Built for topwater presentations, this lure is aimed at anglers targeting big bass around surface cover and open water. Its rotating soft tail is designed to produce rumbling sound as it moves, adding a distinct surface commotion to your retrieve. The lure comes equipped with two River2Sea (BN) 4X strong treble #2 hooks and measures 5 inches long with a 1-3/8 oz. weight. It’s a straightforward choice for hunters of explosive strikes who want a surface bait with a loud, attention-getting profile.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Top-water action means it is intended for surface presentations, so it may not suit situations where a subsurface lure is preferred.
- The 5" length and 1-3/8 oz. weight place it in a larger, heavier profile that may be more than some lighter tackle setups are designed to handle.
- It comes with 2 River2Sea (BN) 4X strong treble #2 hooks, which can be effective but also require careful handling when fishing around cover or during unhooking.
- The rotating tail and rumbling sound are central to its design, so anglers looking for a quieter presentation may want a different option.
