Spring is here and it’s topwater time so here’s the best lure for spring topwater action!!
The weather is slowly heating up and fish are willing to aggressively strike lures up on the surface.
Check out the video to find out why the Moonwalker is my favorite topwater lure for springtime action!!

Look no further than our very own Moonwalker Topwater lure!
The Moonwalker is a walk-the-dog-style topwater lure with a unique feature.
This lure comes equipped and ready with single inline hooks.
It is rare to find a topwater lure on the current market sold with single inline hooks.
The back-and-forth zig-zag pattern this lure creates as it dances across the surface is eye-catching for any inshore saltwater fish.
Not only are you avoiding having to fiddle around and mess with treble hooks, but single inline hooks also prevent the smaller fish from taking your lure when a big fish is waiting to strike.
The hookup ratio is just as good if not better on bigger fish with single inline hooks.
But the smaller fish can’t get the lure or hooks in their mouth and this is actually a PRO.
If small fish pop the lure out of the water, it creates a lot of commotion on the surface attracting competing fish.
Some of my biggest fish caught on topwater lures were after a smaller fish missed the plug and a big fish took a swipe at it.
Another benefit to single inline hooks is it is easy to quickly untangle the line if it happens to wrap itself.
This is early season topwater fishing so it’s only going to get better from here!!

Have been skipping it under docks and along mangroves with a lot of luck
Moonwalker is fire!
I LOVE that the Moonwalker & Skinny Lipper come with inline single hooks! I dislike treble hooks, so much that I’ve swapped them for singles on just about every hard bait I own.
I was trolling the Moonwalker yesterday while on the pedal kayak. Trout were smashing it steadily all day!
this is the year i develop solid acumen with the topwater lure and nail my first fish on one!!
LOVE the moonwalker!!! Most fun fishing I’ve ever had. And big and small fish alike cannot stop attacking it. And Luke is right… the single hooks are way easier to unhook and release fish. Eager to get out and use it again. KEY: use a loop knot and a longer rod.
Luke, where did you get that detachable stand on the bow of your boat?
That came with my used boat, so I’m not sure exactly who made it… but it apparently is a company in Ft Myers, FL who supplies them to the Maverick dealer there, so you may want to reach out to them to see who they use.
Between the Chug Bug and the MoonWalker I have had a fabulous month of March.
Living on a canal can be rough with structure everywhere .
I literally just lost what I think was my 1st 40” Snook 15 minutes ago, he was furious and ran me under a neighbors dock, either way it was exciting.
3 30” Snook this month plus crazy big Jacks.
Love Top Water.
We need a moon popper 🙂
My biggest snook 36.5 inches. And Redfish 32.5 inches all caught on the moonwalker. I love this lure!
