As the fog lifts off the water on a calm Fall morning, you cannot help but scan for fleeing baitfish. When the sound of fish exploding the surface breaks the silence, and the sight of feeding predators sends your heart racing, make sure you have the right gear in hand. As we prepare for Fall, here’s a breakdown of recommended gear for one of the most-beloved and effective tactics – topwater!
Featuring a premium IM8 graphite blank and full-length cork grip with Duracork inlays, the Speed Stick is built for comfort cast after cast. This medium power rod allows for optimum castability with the right amount of flex for keeping aggressive topwater feeders hooked up.
When surface action is hot and money and reputation are on the line, the KVD Signature Series Topwater Rod is what the legendary VanDam reaches for. With Medium Action and plenty of tip, the KVD Signature Series is ideal for accurately placing a popper under a boat dock or pitching topwater lures short range around cover.
Whether you’re launching a lure at schooling fish or pitching a buzzbait around shallow cover, the 9.5:1 gear ratio and 40 inches per turn offered by the HyperSpeed allows the angler to be as efficient as possible.
Built from tip to base for explosive topwater action. The ideal length and action for precision casting into fast-moving schooling fish. The Custom Pro Topwater Special ensures you won’t miss the action. Featuring Lew’s exclusive multilayered proprietary LFS-X5 graphite blank and a full-length handle with A-Grade cork/EVA and Duracork inlay, the Topwater Special is designed with performance and comfort at the forefront.
