A segmented hard-body swimbait in a realistic bluegill paint scheme that mimics a large panfish swimming through the mid-column. The natural roll action triggers reaction strikes from big largemouth keyed in on bluegill as primary forage.
bluegillRiver2Sea
River2Sea Whopper Plopper 90 Bluegill
A 90mm topwater prop-bait in a deadly bluegill finish that sputters, churns, and ploops across the surface to draw explosive strikes. The rotating tail blade creates an irresistible commotion that mimics fleeing panfish.
crawfishZ-Man
Z-Man TRD CrawZ
A compact ElaZtech finesse craw designed for the Ned Rig, Shakey Head, or light drop shot where a subtle craw presentation wins. The buoyant ElaZtech material stands the claws up off the bottom and pulses with lifelike action on the slowest drag.

The classic hollow-body frog built to skitter across the slickest lily pad mats and thick surface vegetation without snagging. Walk-the-dog it over the thickest cover and hold on when a bass blows up from below.
frogBOOYAH
BOOYAH Pad Crasher Jr
The smaller sibling to the Pad Crasher, sized down for pressured fish and ponds where a more subtle frog profile gets more bites. An excellent beginner-friendly topwater frog that is still deadly on big bass.
