Field Notes

This is a large topwater walking bait designed to imitate a wounded baitfish and trigger reaction strikes. Use it on calm to moderately choppy water with a walk-the-dog retrieve, especially around surface-feeding fish or bait schools. It is suited to offshore and coastal gamefish that will attack a surface lure.

Pros

  • Large profile for big predatory fish
  • Topwater presentation creates visual strikes
  • Heavy-duty treble hooks

Cons

  • Requires active retrieve and rod control
  • Less effective in rough water or heavy chop
  • Not ideal when fish are holding deep
