    Love a good topwater video! We’re into November here in North TX and I still can’t get off the topwater bite. That orange accent at the front of the bait was smart IMO. I agree on the sound. Sometimes a higher pitch sound can be better, but more often than not I prefer the lower pitch sound for topwater. It carries farther in the water and as you mentioned...it’s an aggressive bait!

    Should reel it in alot slower, pop it more, and stop it. Guarantee more hits. Don't be afraid to hit deep water with them. Loud prop will draw them in to come up at it. Learned alot from just focusing on the lure within early morning, during the day to late evening. Even in windy choppy waters, I've succeeded with alot of catches. Choppo120. Doesn't matter too much on the color as I've used them. It mattered more was with the action.

    Now I'm kinda confused on the braid with fast action rod on treble hook top water setup? Better than flouro but I've learned from pros like you that best is crankbait style rod as in parabolic bend to set the treble properly. Now I've fished 7'2 rod MH Fast action but use Trilene Big game mono for the stretch and for the money it's the best. I just always used and thought braid was more for single hook or frog style setups????

  • @JustinLucasFishing

    Braid is also awesome for almost any topwater but you need to use a softer rod. The strength of rod should depend on the size of the treble hooks on the bait.
