Quick take
A weedless topwater spoon with a rubber skirt that glides over and through thick moss and heavy cover.
The Heddon Moss Boss is a floating topwater spoon with a wide, flat body and a skirted tail that gives it a hopping action when twitched. Its rear-mounted hook suits anglers working mats, pads and thick weeds for bass, pike or muskie. At 3 inches and 3/8 ounce, this version is sized for heavy cover where bigger fish hold.
Best for
- Fishing over mats of moss and lily pads
- Lakes choked with vegetation in summer
- Musky fishing in thick cover
Skip if
- You want a deep-diving lure

Strengths
