Both are floating surface propbaits built for bass and topwater casting. They’re a strong match if you want a “school balsa baits thin spin propbait” style lure that delivers sputtering surface commotion and explosive strikes. The PhCustomlures version is a bit pricier, while the Old School Balsa Baits version is the lower-cost option.
Use a steady retrieve to keep both props turning, then add short pauses to let the bait sit and trigger followers. Best around shallow spawning areas, bank edges, and open-water schooling fish. Keep it on the surface; it’s designed as a search bait, not a subsurface lure.
Switch to a walking bait if fish want a subtler side-to-side action, a popper if they’re keying on smaller surface targets, or a subsurface bait if they stop rising to the propbait. If wind or chop gets heavy, a louder moving bait may outfish a propbait.
