Back in the Spring Jackall released their highly anticipated Riser Bait 007R. It was a huge hit and flew off the shelves quickly. Corbin Gotwalt, one of our Pro Staff, wrote a review of his experience with the Riser Bait 007, but we didn't post it because we had sold out so quickly. All summer long the Riser Bait 007R proved to be one of the best topwater lures of 2018. And we finally just got more back in stock! Now that they are available again, here is Corbin's blog in its entirety:

Is it a spy bait? Is it a spook? What is it?!?! 

It is the Jackall Riser Bait! This bait is going to make all kinds of noise in this industry. A true one of its kind, the Jackall Riser bait takes the concept of a subsurface spy bait, and turns it into a walk the dog topwater plug just by reeling the handle. This is a true finesse technique unlike any other.

This past weekend I spent fun fishing with Susquehanna Smallmouth Solutions guides Jason Shay and Pete Holmes. I could not help but laugh when I pulled this trick out and tied it on my G Loomis E6X spinning rod. First cast-- the bait went soaring! I use the braid because some of the strikes that I had were just as the bait was getting to the top of the surface at the end of a long cast.

How to fish it:

I fish this bait on a 7'1'' G Loomis E6X spinning rod with 10# Powerpro Braid.This bait is 5/16 oz and with the flick of your wrist, this bait is gone 50-60 yards on the cast. Upon the bait hitting the water, I just use a steady retrieve. Once it gets on the surface, this bait walks back and forth by reeling just like a walk the dog topwater does. The only difference... It is a lot easier to walk because all you are doing is reeling and it is a small profile bait that matches the hatch perfectly. When the fish eat this bait, it is a violent strike.

Last tip:

Make sure your riser bait blade is bent up. If it is bent down, or flat, the bait will not have the proper action.
