Quick take
Jointed topwater popper with cupped mouth for aggressive chugging action in freshwater and saltwater.
The Baby Striper Knuckle Head is a 5-inch topwater lure weighing about 1.5 ounces, built with a jointed head that connects to the body through a patent-pending Hold-Tite connector. The concave mouth pops and chugs on the surface, and the slender body sways from side to side on the retrieve. It is an option for anglers fishing bass, muskie, redfish and striped bass around the surface.
