For context, I fish in a small retention pond that is fed by 2 major creeks south of Houston Texas. I’ve never used this type of top water popper. But lemme just say, I’LL GIVE IT 15 STARS!!! I went late in the evening just to try it out and third cast got a small bass. Next morning 4 bass, all under a lb but still excited as I’ve caught NOTHING in a month. Last night two more bass!!! Buy these! You won’t be sorry!!!!
