The Rebel Jumpin' Minnow is a topwater lure renowned for its "walk-the-dog" action, mimicking a distressed baitfish to entice predatory species. Its internal weighting ensures long, accurate casts, making it ideal for reaching surface-feeding fish. This lure is effective for various species, including bass, striped bass, and peacock bass.
To achieve the signature "walk-the-dog" action, retrieve the lure at a slow to moderate pace while imparting short, rhythmic jerks with the rod tip. This technique causes the lure to dance enticingly on the surface, drawing strikes from predatory fish. Anglers have reported that the bone color variant is particularly effective in various conditions.
