Quick take
An 8-inch topwater snake with cable joints and treble hooks based on a 3D-scanned real snake.
This 8-inch, 1 oz floating snake bait comes in Black Snake and is built for wake-style surface fishing. Its jointed body makes a wide S-shaped wake, and two tie points let you run it on top or just under the surface. Two treble hooks ride on swiveling hangers.
Best for
- Bass and pike in shallow bays with open water
- Anglers casting to fallen timber
- Predatory fish in any water type that strikes surface prey
Skip if
- You fish dense weed that requires weedless hooks
- You prefer smaller, quieter topwater presentations
Strengths
- 3D-scanned design creates realistic snake profile
- Cable-jointed body creates wide S-motion and water displacement
- Dual treble hooks lock in aggressive strikes
Trade-offs
- Treble hooks snag in vegetation and on structure
- S-motion is less effective in strong current
- Rear treble can tangle with line if fish shakes head

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.
