Product Description

Joe Baggs The Skipper is a cool new floating lure from a guy who continues to make fishing lures that work. If you've ever fished a Swarter or any Joe Baggs soft plastics you will know that they catch fish. The Skipper is a great topwater lure that gives you that walk the dog motion and entices hungry predators to strike! It's constructed of hard palstic with thru-wire construction for excellent durability. They are outfitted with 3X strong VMC 4/0 Treble hooks that are sharp and work great. Combine that with the right colors and 3D eyes and you've got a lure that immitates a large baitfish from the beach, boat or pier. Joe Baggs The Skipper lures naturally glide across the surface and even leave a bubble trail. If you enjoy targeting striped bass, snook and other hungry saltwater species, try throwing a Joe Baggs The Skipper. These lures are great! 

Joe Baggs The Skipper lures are 8" in length and weigh 3 ozs. Choose from three great colors - Bone, Chrome and White. If you're throwing these from a boat try a Dark Matter IO Spinning Rod. From the beach, the 9'2" Dark Matter John Skinner Surf Rod.

Joe B

"The lure comes with giant grey hooks. They need this size in thinner gauge. That's overkill. Lure swims okay. It has the ability to be a pencil with tight turns or it can be worked wide gliding. Despite front hook being moved to the back more on this design, it still catches the line in a long time. What I don't like is that the lure is not weighted properly so that it tends to not consistently go side to side. The action can be broken if you don't pay close attention. That's why I give it 4 stars. What I like is the jumping action and the ease of use for the most part. The problem is lure is too hollow and too long that the weights do not match, making it hard to work consistently. Had it been like a solid wood body, it would run perfect. That's what I'm trying to get at. Do I think Joe is a great lure maker? No. The concept of this lure can be improved on and it is not what they're saying. I speak the truth. I have a lot of lures and I can build these. I've built better ones."

Does not disappoint.

"I caught two Striped Bass on my first outing with the Skipper. It certainly does not disappoint. This lure is my new favorite in my arsenal."
