Mastering Topwater Fishing with DraveUSA's Guerrero and JumpFrog Lures

Topwater fishing is one of the most thrilling experiences an angler can have. The heart-pounding anticipation as you see a fish breaking the surface to strike your lure is unparalleled. At DraveUSA, we’ve designed the perfect topwater lures to help you make the most of this exhilarating technique: the Guerrero 90 and 115 and the JumpFrog 45 and 65.

Understanding Topwater Lures

Topwater lures are specifically crafted to float on the water’s surface, imitating prey that attracts predatory fish. The Guerrero and JumpFrog series are versatile tools in your tackle box, each designed to excel in different conditions.

• Guerrero 90 and 115: This sleek, walking bait is perfect for covering large areas quickly. Its erratic side-to-side action mimics an injured baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from bass and other predatory fish. Available in two sizes, the Guerrero 90 and Guerrero 115 give you flexibility depending on the size of the fish and the conditions.
• JumpFrog 45 and 65: These frog imitations are ideal for fishing in heavy cover, such as lily pads, grass, and other vegetation. The JumpFrog series is available in two sizes, allowing you to match the lure size to the forage or the size of the fish you’re targeting.

When and Where to Use Topwater Lures

Topwater fishing is most effective during low-light conditions, such as early morning or late evening. However, don’t shy away from using these lures on overcast days or when you see fish feeding near the surface.

• Guerrero 90 and 115: Best used in open water or over shallow flats where fish are actively chasing bait. The lure’s walking action creates a zigzag pattern on the surface, attracting fish from a distance.
• JumpFrog 45 and 65: These lures shine in thick vegetation, where other lures would get snagged. Their weedless design allows you to cast directly into the cover, where big bass often hide.

Techniques for Fishing Topwater Lures

The key to successful topwater fishing is in the retrieve. Here are some techniques to get the most out of the Guerrero and JumpFrog lures:

• Walk-the-Dog with Guerrero 90 and 115: Start with a slow, rhythmic retrieve to create a smooth walking motion. If fish are more aggressive, increase the speed and add pauses to mimic a fleeing baitfish.
• Popping and Pausing with JumpFrog 45 and 65: Cast your JumpFrog lure into dense cover and let it sit for a moment. Then, give it a few quick pops to create a disturbance on the water’s surface. Pause again, and be ready for a strike as the fish zero in on the sound.
