Patrol the Banks for Explosive Topwater Action 1

For hunting actively feeding fish in the shallows, there is no bait like the Patroller 90 to elicit powerful reaction strikes.

This 1/2 oz. floating propeller bait is equipped with a tail that spins and churns, leaving a trail of mayhem in its wake.

The unmistakable surface disturbance of the Patroller 90 makes it an exceptional choice for targeting aggressive fish, as well as during low light conditions or in stained water when a fish may have difficulty pinpointing prey. The Patroller also features a rattle chamber for additional noise and disturbance.

 

Though it is a lethal bait when fish are actively chasing prey near the surface, you can also dial back the throttle on the Patroller 90 by simply slowing the retrieve or using a soft twitching motion. These subtle changes often pick up a finicky, lethargic fish when a loud, fast bait will not do the trick. Some anglers simply retrieve the Patroller at a steady, consistent pace, while others use a “stop-and-go” retrieve, pausing near cover or over grass lines.

Bass and other big gamefish are notorious for “swiping” at a topwater bait, often leading to a missed strike. There is no feeling like watching a trophy fish hit your bait and missing the hook-up. The Patroller 90 answers this problem with the Mustad KVD Trip Grip treble hooks, offering second-to-none hook penetration and exceptional hook-up ratios.

When you have a lot of banks to patrol, choose the Patroller 90 to make plenty of noise and call fish out of hiding.
