Quick take
Compact topwater lure with V-hull body that glides gently when twitched and walks with rod snaps.
The Skitter V 10 in Glass Ghost 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 in a clear, subtle finish for a walk-the-dog retrieve.
Best for
- Small stream trout fishing
- Panfish topwater in summer

Skip if

Strengths
