New Trigger Topwater

Nicely foiled. I have no clue if trout swim on / near the surface or not, but this is nice work.

76gator,

Trout will "tail" at the surface when they're just cruising along, following the shoreline, or sunning. They also hang just below the surface and feed on insects as they land on the water.

And they will bust shad at the surface, just like bass or stripers.

But they will literally jump out of the water and skid across the surface when a big predator, like a bass, has chased them up to the top. I've seen them actually run themselves aground to get away from bass.

That's what makes surface gliders, like Jeep's, so effective. It looks like either an actively feeding trout, or one that's in distress and trying to escape. Either way, it's the dinner gong for big bass, and will bring them up from 30' depths in clear water.

The bass sometimes comes up so fast it can launch itself out of the water and miss the lure completely, or just slap it to stun it on the way by, so it's important not to stop the retrieve until you feel the fish actually pull on the lure. Then set the hook.

It is an exciting hit, when it happens. Like a turbo toilet flush.

That is one sweet looking bait.

Makes me want to put it in the smoking bin:lol::lol: ,.........soooooo realistic look !

great topwater bait , .........greetz ,diemai

Jeep, very well done, as usual. Keep up the hard work.
