Quick take
A floating topwater minnow with oversized rotating fins that create noise and surface commotion to attract bass and pike.
This is the 110mm size of the Plopping Minnow family, about 4.3 inches long, in a Z-Night Crawler finish. It is the one in this family with a needle point and a treble hook, where the Ghost Shad 130mm uses a spear point and a J hook. It floats and has a plastic body, and its item weight is listed at 14.2 grams. It is a shorter floater with a surface retrieve for bass, pike, musky, trout, carp and walleye.
Best for

Skip if

- You need a subtle presentation; ploppers are loud
Strengths

- Fully floats and maintains topwater position
- Corrosion-resistant hooks painted for durability
Trade-offs
- Oversized treble hooks snag easily on vegetation

Common questions
What hook does the Calissa 110mm Z-Night Crawler have?
This 110mm Z-Night Crawler uses a treble hook with a needle point, listed under model VK-L703-AUPD. The 110mm Ghost Shad in the same family uses a J hook with a spear point instead, so the hook setup is the main difference between the two colors at that size.

It measures about 4.33 inches, or 110mm, and sits between the 90mm and 130mm sizes of the Plopping Minnow family. Its item weight is listed at 14.2 grams, which is about half an ounce, and its body is made of plastic.
Does the 110mm Z-Night Crawler float?
Yes. The 110mm Z-Night Crawler is a floating topwater plopper that stays on the surface when cast and when retrieved. Its body is plastic and it carries a spinning fin, and the listing names bass, muskellunge, northern pike, trout, carp and walleye as target species.

Each listing for the 110mm Z-Night Crawler is one lure, with one piece and a unit count of 1. It has a treble hook and a needle point, a model number of VK-L703-AUPD, and a 12-month manufacturer warranty.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
