Description

Made using the same mold and materials as Hideki Maeda’s original design, the Teckel USA Goodpecker Topwater Bait boasts a one-of-a-kind bladed construction that calls fish in with a highly-individualized, pronounced action. The Teckel Goodpecker Topwater Walking Bait features an oversized blade along the belly, which clacks, throws flash, and accentuates the action of the bait as it walks.Upping the ante on auditory attraction, the Teckel Goodpecker features two rattle chambers – one with small BB’s and one with a singular knocker ­– that produce a unique and enticing frequency as it slithers over the surface. The rear knocker also works to extend casting distance, so you can cover water quickly and reach breaking fish from a long range. Designed with an extreme focus on detail, the Teckel Goodpecker is offered in a number of natural colors and fitted with hyper-realistic eyes. Backed by two sticky-sharp trebles, the Teckel Goodpecker is sure to become a standout in your topwater arsenal. Teckel Length Weight Goodpecker 4-3/4" 7/8oz Upgrade Your Treble Hooks!

Field Notes

Use this on the surface when fish are feeding up top or reacting to commotion. The walking action, blade flash, and rattles make it a strong choice for covering water and drawing strikes from a distance, especially around active baitfish. Work it with a steady walk-the-dog cadence and pauses to trigger followers.

  • Blade adds flash and sound
  • Rattles help call fish from distance
  • Long-casting design

Cons

  • Can be less effective in heavy wind or rough surface chop
