Quick take
A topwater lure shaped like a rat that creates surface disturbance and commotion to attract aggressive bass and pike.
The Nasty Shad pattern on this Spro Rat 30 suits anglers who want a half-ounce topwater rat with a 3.25-inch body. A square bill and a jointed rat profile give a walk-the-dog action with a gentle wake on the surface. Sharp treble hooks come on the bait.
Best for
- Shallow weedy areas with predatory fish
- Low-light dawn or dusk fishing
- Situations where big aggressive lures trigger strikes
Skip if
- You need subtle presentations
- You fish open water far from structure
Strengths
- Rat profile triggers aggressive predator response
- Topwater action creates enticing commotion
- Substantial weight allows casting distance
Trade-offs
