Northland Tackle Reed Runner Weedless Hollow-Body Topwater Frog — Blackbird, 1.75in

This topwater lure brings surface action to life with a soft hollow body that rides cleanly over water and around cover. The design emphasizes a natural silhouette while remaining weedless enough to work through dappled vegetation and snag-prone zones without getting hung up easily.

Anglers who chase bass along weedlines, near structure, or over shallow flats may notice several practical benefits. The Reed Runner is built to attract attention on the water through a combination of movement, sound, and visibility that can prompt a strike from curious bass.

Key benefits you may notice on the water

• Lifelike patterns that mimic frogs, reptiles, mammals, birds and fish that swim on the surface, inviting bass to investigate.
• Soft hollow body paired with a weedless 3/0 hook to reduce snags while maintaining reliable hookups.
• Topwater popping action that creates audible noise and surface commotion, designed to draw feeding fish from cover.
• Cupped lip generates a pronounced popping action; you can walk or pop around cover to provoke strikes.
• Compact 1.75 inch length with a standard 3/0 hook offers a versatile, quick-response topwater option.

Practical fishing tips and scenarios

• Cast along weed edges, lily pads, and submerged structure where bass hold tight to cover.
• Use a pause and pop retrieve to vary the surface disturbance and mirror changing conditions on the water.
• Adjust retrieve cadence to respond to water clarity, light levels, and fish mood through the day.

While results can vary by day and water, the Reed Runner offers a compelling surface action with a weedless design. It presents a viable option for anglers seeking an effective topwater lure that stays responsive and easy to control across varied cover.
