Description

Let’s face it, every striper fisherman loves a big topwater blowup. The Flipping Mullet is the spook style plug that will get you your fill of topwater explosions! Designed at 5.75″ long and approximately 1.25oz, the Flipping Mullet casts like a bullet and retrieves like a dream. Rhythmic twitches will create a walk-the-dog style retrieve that Stripers and Bluefish go crazy for! The Flipping Mullet’s cone-shaped nose, and long slender tapered tail makes for a very easy-to-work lure. Bigger, heavier spooks (like our own “Mully”) require a little more timing to work perfectly. But the Flipping Mullet practically works itself. As of January 2024, all our topwater lures - including this Flipping Mullet - are being rigged standard with one treble hook on the belly swivel and an inline single hook on the tail. This is a change we’ve been aiming to make for several years now, but finally have a quality vendor for the VMC inline singles we’ve been wanting to use. (Exact weight and colors of lures will vary batch to batch and lure to lure. All of our lures are made in small batches, many of our colors are custom blends we mix ourselves, and even our internal lead weights are cut by hand. We do our best to keep lure shape, weight, and paint as consistent as possible, but 247 Lures is very far from mass-production where every lure is exactly the same.)

Field Notes

Use this as a surface striper lure when fish are feeding on top or chasing bait near the surface. Rhythmic twitches create a walk-the-dog retrieve, and the lure’s size and casting weight make it useful for covering water and drawing explosive strikes from stripers and bluefish.

Pros

  • Casts like a bullet
  • Easy walk-the-dog action
  • Built for big topwater blowups

Cons

  • Requires surface activity to be most effective
