Quick take
A 4.375 in topwater lure that walks side-to-side, sized for larger saltwater predators.
A Silver Mullet finish on a 4.375-inch floating walking bait made for saltwater surface work. It weighs 0.625 oz, has a rattle inside, and uses a weighted tail to walk the dog on the retrieve.
Best for
- Casting at feeding schools in shallow saltwater flats
- Targeting stripers and offshore species around structure
- Early morning and evening topwater sessions
Skip if

- You need a lure that floats completely still
Strengths
- Walk-the-dog motion disturbs the surface and draws strikes from aggressive fish
- Weighted tail design keeps the nose up during retrieve
- VMC hooks penetrate quickly on hard strikes
Trade-offs
- The walking action requires a specific jerking retrieve technique
- Treble hooks foul frequently on seaweed and debris
