LIVE TARGET Hollow Body Sunfish – Weedless Surface Lure for Bass & Pike

Overview

The LIVE TARGET Hollow Body Sunfish recreates a juvenile sunfish being nudged toward the surface by a hungry predator. This lifelike silhouette combined with natural surface action tempts active sport fish such as largemouth bass and northern pike, especially when you’re fishing near weed edges or shallow cover where sunfish are commonly found. The lure’s presence and motion invite follows and confident strikes, making every cast a potential moment of action.

What makes it stand out

Designed with a hollow body, this lure delivers forgiving walking action that both beginners and seasoned anglers can master. The body compresses and releases with each twitch, producing a believable pause and dash that mirrors fleeing forage, boosting visibility and on-water realism.

• Hollow body design makes this lure easy to walk for experts and novices alike
• Imitates natural forage being pushed to surface
• Custom Trokar brand double hook for confident hooksets
• Weedless design helps you fish through thick cover without snagging

Key benefits and use cases

Anglers can expect versatile surface action that yields exciting follows and solid hookups when the bite is on. The lure’s geometry supports both quick retrieves and deliberate pauses, enabling multiple on-the-water strategies without overthinking technique.

• Best for largemouth bass and northern pike seeking surface action
• Walk the lure fast to create a bubble trail or walk steadily for a subtle surface wake
• Weedless design reduces snagging in aquatic vegetation and submerged cover

How to fish this lure

Start with a relaxed, near-cover retrieve to mimic a sunfish being pushed toward you by a predator. Try a rapid walk-the-dog cadence to generate a quick surface break, then slow down for a more natural pause. The action is easy to adjust by changing rod tip height and line tension, so you can dial in the moment that triggers strikes.

Pro tips

• Keep the rod tip up to maximize the hollow body’s walking action
• Experiment with fast and slow retrieves to locate the bite window
• Use in thick cover where weedless design helps maintain contact with the strike zone
