This lure needs no introduction to those who know what it is and what it is capable of. There's even been days where in the right hands it has out-fished live bunker. The SWE on Thames Street in the early 2000's was the first time we laid eyes on this and it was a well-kept secret for almost a decade until word of its effectiveness on striped bass slowly spread.

At the time we knew the deadliness of the Jumpin' Minnow and wanted something bigger and happened to spot this online. We ordered some and were REALLY excited when we opened the box, only to be even more excited the first time we took it out on the water.

Much like other topwaters in this style it'll catch almost anything. We've even caught big bluefin tuna on them!

While these lures do come with solid hardware in the form of VMC 9626PS treble hooks, we recommend considering an even further upgrade to larger inline hooks. Inline hooks have the ability of getting improved leverage with a better hook placement on this bait as well as the possibility of attracting and hooking something enormous.

The 7" model weighs 2 3/4oz
