Quick take
A 3 3/4 inch topwater popper with chugging action and deep sound for schooling bass and multi-species.
The Heddon Lucky 13 in Baby Bass Red Gill is a floating topwater popper that chugs and pops across the surface. It measures 3.75 inches, weighs 5/8 ounce and carries #2 treble hooks. Bass, pike, striped bass, speckled trout and redfish anglers can work it in fresh or salt water.
Best for
- Largemouth bass in shallow water and grass beds
- Schooling fish in bays and rivers
- Stripers and redfish in coastal shallows
Skip if
- You fish quiet presentations; poppers create noise
- You want a lure that swims rather than pops
Strengths
- Deep resonating chug sound attracts aggressive strikes
- Proven design as a classic schooling fish lure
- Works both freshwater and saltwater species
Trade-offs
- Chugging action requires active rod work, not passive retrieve
- Deep sound may spook cautious fish in clear water
- Three #2 treble hooks snag easily in vegetation
