Description

4 inches in length, 15.0 g, floats at rest. #403 TW is a straightforward topwater bait designed for consistent surface action. Built with a cedar body, it offers the familiar AC Shiners profile along with pronounced buoyancy that only natural wood provides. A 1.25" blade on the rear adds subtle flash and a steady sputtering sound, helping draw attention without overpowering the presentation. It performs best with a slow, even retrieve, creating a controlled surface disturbance that resembles an injured baitfish. Well-suited for a range of conditions, #403 TW provides a balanced, easy-to-fish topwater approach. Care Instructions: Store dry and keep out of sunlight when off the water to ensure a long life for your lure. Do not store with rubber baits. Use caution when handling AC Shiners, sharp hooks mean more fish. Note: Each AC Shiner is handmade, making every lure unique, with slight variations in appearance and finish.
