Livingston Lures Walking Boss Jr II 4in Pink Back Chrome Belly – Inshore Topwater Lure

Overview

The Livingston Lures Walking Boss Jr II is a 4-inch inshore topwater lure designed to deliver bold surface action. Its oversized cupped lip paired with a jointed body creates a distinctive surface disturbance that’s easy to notice on the water. This lure is approachable for anglers of all levels: cast, then retrieve at a pace that fits the moment and conditions.

Key benefits at a glance

• Dynamic surface disturbance that sparks attention with each twitch and pause
• Shallow-diver profile keeps action near the surface where many fish feed
• Rugged hardware including VMC PS #5 X2 hooks for reliability
• EBS Smart Chip adds an extra layer of attraction without complicating how you fish

Real-world fishing scenarios

On calmer days, the pink back and chrome belly reflect light and draw viewable interest from nearby fish. In moderate chop, the lure’s motion stays visible and audible, helping to provoke a reaction even when visibility is lower. With a weight around 0.41 oz and length near 3.86 in, you’ll have solid casting control and can place the lure where the surface action begins.

How to fish it

Cast and experiment with a range of retrieves to match water and fish mood. A slow, steady pull with short pauses can let the lip generate surface skips, while a faster reel with occasional twitches yields a different surface signature. The shallow-diver action (2-6 ft) keeps you in the upper water column for dynamic topwater bites.

• Try steady retrieves for consistent surface action
• Intermittent pauses to let the jointed body pulse and the lip thump the surface
• Vary flicks and twitches to adjust the surface disturbance

Why it works for inshore angling

The combination of an oversized cupped lip and a jointed body creates a standout surface signature. The EBS Smart Chip provides additional attraction to complement the core topwater action. Anglers often notice repeatable performance when targeting nearshore species, though results can vary with tides, water clarity, and fish mood.
