When to Use This Topwater Lure

Surface-Feeding Fish

Topwater presentations are most effective when predators are willing to attack prey near the water’s surface.

Look for:

• Surface bait activity
• Baitfish near shallow cover
• Predator feeding activity
• Calm or lightly disturbed water

Shallow Water

Because this is a topwater lure blank, it is particularly suited to shallow areas where fish are actively hunting near the surface.

Effective locations can include:

• Grass edges
• Shallow flats
• Docks
• Shorelines
• Wood cover

Low-Light Conditions

Topwater fishing can be especially productive during periods of reduced light, including:

• Early morning
• Evening
• Overcast conditions

The surface disturbance can help predators locate the lure even when visibility is reduced.

Depending on the completed lure design and fishing conditions, this topwater lure can be used to target:

• Largemouth Bass

• Spotted Bass
• Peacock Bass
• Snakehead

• Other freshwater predatory fish

Applications
