It all started with the original “Top H2O” from Lee Lures. Now comes the “Top H2O HD”. At 8” long (20% larger), this wood constructed crawling style surface bait has the action and bigger profile to catch the biggest fish in the system! Aside from its larger profile, the increased size will allow it to run over any waves even Lake Mille Lacs can dish out. The first two bites on this prototype bait produced strikes from 48”-50” class fish. Second to none in construction with 1 ½” stainless screw eyes, .040” front lip, 7/0 hook in front, and 5/0 hook in back the “Top H2O HD” will be ready to handle any battle… because it is Heavy Duty.

Performance tips:
The “Top H2O” excels as a low light, night fishing, and cold front surface bait. For retrieve speed, reel bait fast enough to start the lure “blowing out” or tipping over... then just slow it down a notch for the best swimming action. When flat calm or tough fishing, you may want to slow it down even more for surprising results. If following fish appears early in retrieve and strike doesn’t occur before getting to boat, stop the bait and walk-the-dog with it. If that doesn’t work, try sinking the bait underwater on the figure 8 for a boat-side strike. This bait can be fished effectively in up two a two foot chop.
