Description

Designed in collaboration with legendary swimbait craftsman, Mike Bucca, the Bucca Brand Mike Bucca Baby Bull Rat is a rat-imitating wakebait with an incredibly realistic exterior and a lifelike swimming action that results in huge topwater explosions. Constructed with a jointed 2-piece body that creates a ‘clacking’ sound, the Baby Bull Rat is ideal for a slow steady retrieve but can also be worked with a walk-the-dog action on top of the water with a twitch of the rod tip. Pre-rigged with a soft plastic tail, the Baby Bull Rat has a screw-lock tail design that fits the Bucca Brand Mike Bucca Baby Bull Rat Replacement Tails or any soft plastic worm of your choice, giving you endless options for customization. Available in multiple rat-like color schemes with a detailed fur-like texture, the Bucca Brand Mike Bucca Baby Bull Rat offers incredible realism that’ll have giant bass busting the water’s surface to eat this snack-sized rat bait.

Field Notes

Use this as a surface wakebait around calm to lightly rippled water when bass are feeding on top. A slow steady retrieve will create a wake and clacking sound, while short twitches can make it walk and trigger reaction strikes. It is especially effective when fish are keying on small rodents or other surface prey.

Pros

  • Highly realistic rat profile and finish
  • Versatile retrieve: steady wake or walk-the-dog
  • Pre-rigged soft plastic tail adds action

Cons

  • Topwater-only presentation limits use in deeper water
  • Likely best with a slower retrieve and open surface space
