Q&A
Heddon's Torpedo propeller baits are legendary topwater lures that create a tremendous splashing disturbance that;s great for schooling fish feeding on or near the water's surface. Whichever size you're casting, this lure's versatile enough to be fished fast or slow, with a steady or sporadic retrieve. However, the key is to vary your retrieve until you've found just the right cadence to trigger strikes.

Simple top water action for catching bassI have had one Heddon Torpedo lure in my tackle box for years. I don’t think the prop even spins, but the lure certainly catches bass. I love to throw this lure when I'm early morning and late evening top water fishing. None of my fishing partners have the Torpedo lure and they are always surprised at my results. Simply throw the lure out and retrieve in pops and stops or use a quick retrieve. On good days, I have all the confidence in this lure to be able to throw it out and catch bass on successive casts.

Try different colors of tiny torpedosGood bait and found you need to try different colors on each trip. The best color in my pond is the green back/white bottom one that looks like a frog. I like the medium size bait for larger bass. Fish this in short 10 inch jerks being consistent with a 2 second delay between jerks, this is 2 turns of the reel. I think the rhythm makes it work better catching bass.

It works!Works well some days and terrible other days, but that's fishing.
I have a Tiny Torpedo that rolls over in the water if I retrieve it at any speed other than the very slowest. Is this normal? What can be done to prevent it?
Asked by: schwied
not normal at all. this problem is usually caused by how the line is attached. use 8#
test or smaller line and tie directly to lure.
do not use snaps. also make sure the prop is straight and has a slight twist in it kinda like a boat motor prop. if it still rolls after you try this put a split ring on nose and tie line to that, hope this helps.

How do fish this lure?
I don't know really how to fish this lure because i've tried fishing it like the Devil Horse but it didnt really work. I don't want to write review yet because I don't believe I used this lure to its full potiential.
Asked by: Warphreaque
Try casting the lure out, letting it sit on the surface for a few seconds then twitch the rod gently twice followed by another pause. If you do it right you can hear the prop on the lure (even from far away) make a nice smooth sound. The key is to have the lure move smoothly on the surface when you twitch the rod tip. After the pause just repeat with 1 or 2 twitches of the rod and pause again. This has worked great for me and I've had fish just explode on this lure when you pause it. Hope this helps

is this or is the rapala skitter prop a better all-round lure for bass?
Asked by: lurecollector
I have both. Rapala is bigger and louder and better for monster bass. That said I have caught way more fish with the heddon.

what would be the best color?
Asked by: T1mo
Each fishing location will be different; even each trip to the same area might have different results so there isn’t really a “Best” color to use when fishing. One color may work better one time but not as well the next time you fish. So, when selecting a lure color take a look at your surrounds (landscape and wildlife) to determine the color of lure to use. If the water is dark and murky (or stained) use bright and/or fluorescent colors that can draw the fish’s attention to the lure. If the water is clear, look around if the area and use colors which blend with the surrounds. If the area is rocky use a brown, tan, or a similar color. If there is grass and weeds then use more of the green colors. Each location will be different so try a good range of colors. Thank you for your question.

How would I go about tuning the prop on the Torpedo? The prop doesn't turn when I retrieve the lure.
Asked by: Jersey1
the rear eyelet that attaches the hook to the lure is threaded just give it a few twist. also taking the blade and giving them a slight twist. pinch the blades one each thumb and finger and give a twist

What kind of fish do you catch with this?
I mainly fish for pickerel, but if you could still give me your input, that would be nice. (Pickerel will eat anything any other fish will eat).
Asked by: pickerelguy
Bass are attracted to the Heddon Torpedo Hardbaits but it really depends on the location your are fishing. Each fishing location will be different; even each trip to the same area might have different results so there isn’t really a “Best” lure to use when fishing. One lure may work better one time but not as well the next time you fish so try a good range of lures. Thank you for your question.
