Hunthouse 130mm Walk-the-Dog Topwater Popper for Bass
Hunthouse 130mm Walk-the-Dog Topwater Popper for Bass
This 130mm topwater walker throws a slim, baitfish profile with a flashy holographic finish that reads as shad or herring in low light. The narrow nose cuts the surface for a tight side-to-side walk-the-dog action, while the through-wire construction and dual treble hooks stand up to solid strikes from largemouth and smallmouth alike.
Fish it on calm mornings and evenings over grass flats, points, and open water where bass are keyed on baitfish near the surface. Slow, rhythmic twitches keep it darting in place, making it a strong search bait for covering water and drawing reaction strikes from fish holding just below the surface.
