Product description

The Kingdom Cicada is a floating topwater bait shaped and painted to match a real cicada, right down to the veined wing detail. Its compact, rounded body sits flush on the surface and produces a soft wing flutter and subtle wake on the retrieve, the kind of disturbance bass key on when cicadas are falling into the water near banks, docks, and overhanging brush.

Built in two small sizes for finesse topwater work, it excels for largemouth holding tight to shade and cover during warm months. Twitch it, let it sit, and watch for the take as rings spread from the wings. It also draws strikes from smallmouth and panfish working the same shallow water.

How to fish it

Cast tight to overhanging brush, docks, or bank edges where cicadas would naturally fall
Let the bait sit still after landing to let rings settle before the first twitch
Work it with short twitch-pause pulls so the wings flutter and the body barely moves forward
Pause longer over visible cover or shade lines since most strikes come during the still phase

Frequently asked

Which size should I start with for bass?

The 27mm/2.4g casts easier and suits slightly stained water or bigger fish, while the 21mm/1.6g is better for clear, calm conditions and finicky bites.

Does color matter for water clarity?

Yes. Natural green and brown patterns work best in clear water, while brighter or darker patterns help bass locate the bait in stained or low-light conditions.

What gear and line pair well with this lure?

A light to medium spinning setup with 6 to 10 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon lets the bait sit naturally and keeps the light body casting well.

When is this bait most effective?

It shines in late spring through summer when cicadas are active near the water, especially in early morning or evening when bass feed on the surface.
