 | topwater fishing Ok I have had a couple days with the baits I had to test this is a review on the Culprit Topwater Shad. This bait is 3 and 1/2 inch and I believe its 3/8 oz. it’s a frog style bait meant to mimic a dying or hurt baitfish. At first I wasn’t having much luck with the bait fishing it around the shallows off of weed lines ect. Places you would usually fish a frog. Then I though to try something a little different, fishing it where I would usually fish a swim bait points, creek channels off shore structure and that kind of area. Fish were not really smacking it like a frog but kind of swirling on the bait. Hook set ratio was fairly well, yesterday I think I was 4 for 6 and today 3 for 3.Seemed to me that a longer pause from strike to hook set was a lot more important than with most frog and was a little less weed less around the weeds (didn’t perform as well in the weeds then open water any way) the hook is plenty strong and has a pretty good gap on it. The finish on the bait has sort of a honeycomb design overtop of the whole bait giving it a hint of shine resembling scales. As far as retrieve goes I found an erratic slow twitch works best I found the best presentation for me was to reel very slowly basically just tighten up the slack if you give it a good twitch it will kind of go under water if you hit it again it will jump out of the water that’s perfect. Retrieve is somewhat similar to walking the dog but not quite the same. Overall I would recommend this bait because just fishing with it is fun and gives the fish something else to see as it is one of the only baits like it. I give this bait 7 out of 10.
