After a recent trip with Extreme and after an exceptional days fishing (cheers Mark)........I gotta say the exhilaration of topwater action will be hard to beat and yes the bug has bit and I got it bad!
 
Recent additions to the tacklebox some yet to be swum. Probably old hat to most of you guys but pics may assist newbies to topwater in understanding some of the lure options out there. Will report on how they work for me as they get the chance to be eaten.

Don't forget to add some Pencil poppers and chuggers to your kit, they have a place on the right days too!.
 
I have seen the musky lure before whilst on a Nomad trip, it has a nice action but from memory needs to be worked at a constant moderate pace to get the best out of it, also need to keep the hooks relatively small, 6/0 single decoys or similar. Kingies should climb all over it. Ah Custom is one of Richards own designs, great surface stickbaitWink

Of course the Nambas and Delta 5 round out that little parcel fantastically!
