The Rush Hopper is a 42 mm floating finesse topwater frog designed for ripple conditions and lightly stained water. With a visible surface profile and subtle action, it helps fish locate the lure when surface glare or water colour reduces clarity.
This is a search-style finesse lure — slow retrieves get noticed.
In ripple or stained water, fish rely more on visibility and surface disturbance than fine detail. A lure that stands out without excessive noise is easier for predators to track.
The Rush Hopper targets those fish.
Its higher visibility and steady surface presence allow fish to follow and strike confidently, even when the water is not clear. Short pauses give fish time to approach from below and commit.
Work it along:
• weed edges
• shallow pockets
• shoreline cover
• reed margins
• calm areas beside ripple
• stained water edges
The floating body keeps the lure visible on the surface while remaining within the strike zone.
The Rush Hopper is designed for steady, controlled surface movement.
How to fish it:
Cast along weed edges or shallow pockets
Retrieve slowly across the surface
Maintain a steady pace
If a wake appears behind the lure, pause briefly
Resume a slow retrieve
Strikes commonly occur:
• during the pause
• beside shallow cover
• as a following fish commits
Keep the retrieve slow and controlled.
Higher visibility helps fish locate the lure in ripple and stained water. Work it along weed edges and shallow pockets rather than open water.
Pausing when a fish follows often triggers the strike.
Recommended Leader: 10–14 lb fluorocarbon
Length: 42 mm
Type: Finesse Floating Topwater Frog
Buoyancy: Floating
Running Depth: Surface
Designed For: Ripple and stained water
Target Species: Australian Bass, Saratoga, Estuary Perch
Please note: Colours may vary slightly between lures.
