Bucca Brand Baby Bull Rat 3.5-Inch Topwater Lure – 3/4-oz Sewer Rat (1 Pack)

Overview

Created through a collaboration between Catch Co. and Mike Bucca, the Bucca Brand Baby Bull Rat is crafted to skim the surface with a natural, eye-catching glide. The lifelike texture and paint, inspired by Jen Kravassi at Jekyll Baits, are designed to stand out in shallow water where bass cruise for an easy meal.

The lure combines a jointed two segment body with a dynamic wake. As you retrieve, the two sections clack together, producing a convincing surface rhythm that can trigger a strike from aggressive, surface-hunting bass. A screw-lock tail attaches securely, making tail changes quick and simple when you want a different action on the water.

Action, sound, and how to fish

The two segments clack as the lure wakes, creating a subtle surface disturbance that can draw curious bass from nearby cover. The design aims to mimic a wary prey item at the shoreline, inviting a follow and a strike as the water ripples behind it.

• Cast near weed lines, lily pads, and dock edges where bass hunt
• Begin with a steady walk the dog cadence and adjust speed for water conditions
• Pause briefly to let the wake settle, then resume the glide for added appeal

Real world tips and care

Maintain steady line tension and keep the lure on the surface for maximum visibility. If wear appears, swap in the replacement tail to preserve action. The screw-lock tail ensures a secure fit during varied retrieve speeds and weather.
