Description

Rover is the new generation of walking bait. Rover’s action turns the leisurely weekend dog walk into a sprint through the park. Instead of the gliding action anglers are accustomed to, Rover’s choppy, side–to–side slashing will draw vicious strikes like a pit bull attacking its prey. Rover’s face features an exaggerated cupping that spits more aggressively than other baits of this genre. it’s cupped mouth and geometry also create one of the most unique actions ever experienced in a lure of this type.

Field Notes

Use Rover on the surface with a steady retrieve that includes short, rhythmic pauses and speed changes to trigger its choppy side-to-side slashing. Best when fish are actively feeding near the top or when you want to cover open water and edges with a walking-style presentation.

Pros

  • Choppy side-to-side slashing action designed to draw aggressive strikes
  • Cupped mouth geometry increases aggressive “spitting” action
  • Topwater walking bait style for surface targeting

Cons

  • Walking-style action may take a bit of practice to get consistent results
  • Treble-hook topwater lures can increase snag risk in heavy cover
