Field Notes

Use this wake bait as a topwater presentation over shallow cover, along weed edges, or over open water when fish are feeding near the surface. Retrieve it steadily so it creates a wake and subtle surface disturbance; the billed design also lets it track just under the surface at a slow pace.

Pros

  • Topwater wake action can draw aggressive strikes
  • Large profile is good for targeting bigger fish
  • Soft plastic tail adds extra movement

Cons

  • Price is high
  • Best used when fish are willing to commit to surface baits
