Quick take
Jointed topwater popper with cupped mouth for aggressive chugging action in freshwater and saltwater.
The Creek Chub Knuckle Head is a 5-inch topwater lure weighing about 1.5 ounces, with a jointed head that connects to the body through a patent-pending Hold-Tite connector. Its cupped, concave mouth pops and chugs across the surface while the body sways side to side for an injured-baitfish look. This Chrome/Blue Back finish suits anglers working bass, muskie, redfish and striped bass near the surface.
