How to fish it

  • Cast out, add a little slack, then work the rod tip with a rhythmic wrist action as you reel in
  • The walking action draws strikes from bass, redfish, trout, pike and striper, especially at dusk and dawn
  • Pre-rigged 1/0 treble hooks

Colours: Baby Bass, Bone, Bullfrog, Flash Bass, Fluorescent Green Crawdad, Natural Leopard Frog, Natural Perch and Red Head. Shop topwater baits at Great Lakes Outfitters.
