NZ Topwater Rewards Madcapbros X Topwater Specialists Mag-1 Dive (Diving Popper) proving to be very effective on drawing out the bigger fish for us. They dive like a stickbait but produce a very large bubble trail enticing the bigger fish to bite before resurfacing. We were getting numerous pack attacks from 20Kg plus fish swiping at the lure.
