⭐ Spring Minnow — 5” / 1 oz Topwater Popper

The Spring Minnow is a high‑energy 5-inch, 1 oz topwater popper built for explosive surface strikes and long‑distance casting. Its cupped mouth throws a sharp popping, spitting, and walking action that calls fish up from distance, even in wind or stained water. The internal deep knock system gives off a heavy, resonant thump that predators can track from far away, making it deadly during active feeding windows. 

The Spring Minnow features a clean, natural baitfish profile with a bright, reflective finish:

• Pearl‑white belly for realism

• Silver flash sides that mimic spring forage

• Soft green/yellow top with a natural gradient

• Darkened back for contrast and silhouette

• Subtle scale pattern for lifelike detail

This colorway shines in clear or lightly stained water and perfectly matches the small minnows' predators feed on during spring and early summer.

Premium hardware completes the build, including a KVD Mustad front treble and a high‑carbon steel feather‑dressed rear hook, giving the lure added flash and movement on the pause.
