What Lure am I talking about? (Freswater Fisherman)?
Being primarily a freshwater shore fisherman, I see a lot of surface cover. I saw a soft-plastic lure that looks exactly like the Heddon Topwater line (Zara Spook, Super Spook, etc). Difference is that you texas rig(weightless) this huge fat plastic and you can play it on top of the cover with little worry of getting stuck.
This would give me a huge advantage as a shore fisherman who loses all his cranks in cover.
Keep in mind i fish for Largemouth with 6-10lb mono to challenge the fish with slightly longer battles. I never liked tourney style where you use super braids and rip through cover while being able to, literally, pull the fish out of the water 10 feet in front of you. Though, if i ever feel like fast action fishing, I;d definitely try the braided technique. I forgot to mention i use spinning reels only. Cheap and easy.
Thanks guys.

The four-and-a-quarter inch works better with a SEVEN-OUGHT monster extra-wide-gap worm hook. You’d be surprised that that chunk of plastic still floats with such a huge hook in it. And it really flies.
Bought a pack of of them at Bass Pro Shops about a month ago for my dad and we tried them today. Awesome action.
