Northland Tackle Reed Runner Weedless Hollow Body Topwater Popping Frog – 1.75 inch Painted Turtle

Overview

The Reed Runner from Northland Tackle is designed to tempt bass with surface action, finished in a Painted Turtle pattern that captures natural hues and subtle shading. This topwater lure sits invitingly on the water and delivers a believable silhouette across varied light and water conditions. Whether you’re fishing dawn, dusk, or shaded coves, the color and detailing work together to create a compelling surface presence that encourages curious follow-throughs and aggressive reactions from nearby fish.

Crafted for real-world conditions, the Reed Runner pairs a soft hollow body with a weedless, sharp hook. The result is easier casting and fewer snags around structure, vegetation, and subtle current, so you can stay focused on the moment of the strike rather than fighting tangles or refusals.
