Field Notes

Best used as a surface presentation around calm to lightly rippled water where a floating, lip-equipped lure can be worked with pauses and twitches. The collectible, handmade basswood build suggests it can also be fished slowly to draw strikes from aggressive fish near cover or open water.

Pros

  • Handmade custom lure with collectible appeal
  • Floating topwater profile can trigger reaction strikes
  • Compact 2 1/2" body is easy to cast and work

Cons

  • Rare/collectible piece may be expensive to fish with
  • Limited information on dive/run characteristics beyond topwater use
