Kingdom Cicada Topwater Lure with Detachable Wings
Kingdom Cicada Topwater Lure with Detachable Wings
This cicada-style topwater bait mimics the buzzing, fluttering commotion of a real cicada landing on the water. The detachable wing design flares out on the retrieve and folds back on the pause, creating a lifelike splash-and-settle action that draws attention from below without excessive noise.
Built as a floating hard bait, it sits high and stays in the strike zone during slow presentations along grass lines, overhanging trees, and shoreline cover where cicadas naturally fall. Available in 40mm and 50mm sizes, it covers finesse topwater situations through slightly larger profiles for more aggressive bass and catfish.

How to fish it
- Cast tight to shoreline brush, overhanging trees, or grass edges where cicadas would naturally fall
- Twitch the rod tip gently to make the wings flutter and pop on the surface
- Pause several seconds between twitches to let rings settle before the next strike window
- Speed up the cadence in low light or warm water when bass are actively feeding on top
Frequently asked
The 40mm version works well for finesse topwater bites and pressured water, while the 50mm throws a bigger profile and lands with more commotion, useful for drawing reaction strikes from larger bass.
Choose natural, subdued patterns in clear water so the lure looks like a real cicada, and switch to darker or higher-contrast colors in stained water so bass can spot the silhouette against the surface.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a moderate tip works well for this lure, paired with 12 to 20 lb braided line or fluorocarbon leader to handle topwater hooksets and heavy cover.
No, the cicada profile and treble hooks also attract catfish and snakehead, but it performs especially well on largemouth and smallmouth bass during cicada hatch season or warm summer evenings.
