Rated 5 out of 5 by Garstak extraordinary prop bait..
Caught many bass between 6 and 10 pounds on this topwater bait.. To my suprise, in salt water, I hooked into some nice size Cudas and a Jack that took me 40 minutes to bring in... I had to play it easy; unsure if the hooks would bend. It has that old Rapala magic!! Recommend it to all!

i used this as my go-to top-water lure this Spring and it did not disappoint. start/stopping it seemed to work well. most of the strikes happened during the pauses. it's a relatively quiet lure, so it doesn't deter the small fish, but the big fish like it too. i had one short-strike it several times before i eventually caught him after several casts. it sounded like someone dropping a bowling ball in the water. whether you already love prop baits, or are just interested in trying one, this one will make a good addition to your arsenal.

I bought this in frog colour and it worked! I cought my biggest bass this season on this thing. the fish are always hiting this bait during a pause. I think that it is the propeller that drives the bass out after the pause. Also very hard to break.

The Skitter Prop would be a better all-round lure for bass in my opinion.A:
i like both but the method I use I perfer the spitor but the fish tell you from year to year let alone day to day or where the sun location. over the year i have a lot of torpedos clear in clear water thrown agains the bank just a little pull of blade, chain hooks and add spit rings you don't lose as manyA:

silver and frog.A:
You can never go wrong with silver but any other of the colors works just fine.A:
I think for topwater color is less relevant. Firetiger for dirty water, anything natural in clear water.Details:
I don't know if I should get a rapala skitter walk, or a heddon torpedo of a certain size. Please suggest a color and, if you suggest the torpedo, a size.Answers
A:
I'd get the heddon baby torpedo in bull frog color.

A:
The lure works great for small mouth or pike. So far as color the chartruse shades are killer on both those fish. Keep in mind with topwater the fish see only momentary flashes of the top colors so action and how you work the lure is very important. Cast and let the rings settle out then moving the lure is a great starting point. Let the fish read the menu.Details:
Would I just steadily reel it or should I use a stop and go retrieve? Should I jerk it somewhat? Which is the best way??
Answers
A:
Always stop and go. You will get more strikes when it is paused every few cranks plus give it a quick little jerk every so often. I use it the same as I do my poppers and have real good results.A:
I change the the retrive if I don't get any strikes.. Sometimes I cast it and leave it a minutes until the ripples disapear and jerk it again.. Other times I use short jerks every few seconds, Stop, then try the same pattern.A:
It's been my experience that waiting a minute or two after the lure hits the water, then using a jerk/twitch and stop and go combined retrieve works best for bass. Pickerel seem to like the steady retrieve, and will usually follow it right to the boat or smack it not too far from the boat.A:
I usually jerk itA:
I've only caught fish on a stop/go (twitching) retrieve. Many hits come while bait is sitting still.

A:
iratic jerking.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Irradict popping (jerking), pausing, until fish tell you what they want...can change during the day or night.A:
any retrieve will pretty much work my best retrieve is just ripping it constantly or a stop and go. when you reel it in regular, it's ok but not as good.A:
Well, for me i like to jerk it because it makes alot more noise than to just steadily retrieve it, stop and go but jerk it,and also to reel it underwater, i like to put my rod tip just an inch underwater. Hope this helps.

A:
I found that if you slow or fast retrieve works best but in clam water you should use the stop and go1 of 1
