Quick take
Compact topwater lure with V-hull body that glides gently when twitched and walks with rod snaps.
The Skitter V 10 in Bone Chartreuse is a 4-inch topwater walking bait that weighs half an ounce and is designed to run at the surface. Its V-hull body and tail-weighted balance let it walk with short rod-tip twitches and glide on slack line. It suits anglers who want a surface walker that works with a walk-the-dog retrieve.
Best for
- Small stream trout fishing
- Panfish topwater in summer

Skip if

Strengths

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
