Description

Painstakingly crafted to bring the biggest explosions to the end of your line, the Xcite Baits Heckler Topwater teases and torments bass lurking below the surface with boisterous sound and rowdy splashing. Dreamed up by Bassmaster Elite Angler Tyler Rivet, the Heckler sashays out of the packaging with perfect balance and a slender body to walk-the-dog effortlessly. If the brilliantly powerful action isn’t enough to grab the attention of nearby predators, the unique acoustic combination will certainly have them homing in like a green torpedo. The Heckler taunts fish with a ball bearing in the rear that gives off a deep one knocker sound while glass beads in the head give off a more subtle noise to get bass to commit to their strike.Speaking to its exceptional craftsmanship, the Xcite Baits Heckler Topwater features showstopping good looks with brilliant paint schemes, lifelike details, and industry-leading hardware. A layer of realism is provided by the molded gill rakers and mandibles as well as the 3D holographic eyes that ride up at the head of the bait. Dangling below the Heckler, ready to grab ahold of any curious fish, are a set of premium Mustad Triple Grip hooks that are sure to optimize anglers’ hook-up ratios. Designed to be the ultimate topwater lure, the Xcite Baits Heckler Topwater will undoubtedly bring in big bass and bigger tournament checks!LengthWeight5”3/4ozUpgrade Your Treble Hooks!

Field Notes

Use this on the surface for walk-the-dog retrieves over bass holding near cover, points, or open-water bait. The loud one-knocker and splashy action make it a strong choice when fish are aggressive or need help finding the bait. Best worked with pauses and twitches to trigger reaction strikes.
