Thank you all for this info. I have been searching 4 yrs for this bait and now have some new leads. I did talk to my buddy and it also has a rattle in it as well. I will try to find the manns walker as what you described it very closely. It stays on top the surface and creates a large wake. Thanks again for all the info I learned a lot I did not know. Now the search continues

I have a buddy that has a top water lure that he calls "wakebait" that works insanely well for bass. He had bought it at a cabellas 5 yrs ago but they no longer sell them. He is unsure who the manufature is so I am not able to find it through them. I have searched the net and all I can find is some wooden hand painted lures called "wakebait" from japan but they are not the same and cost $20 a pop. The lure I am looking for is a plastic top water that is very fat in the front and exponentially gets smaller towards the rear. It has one dot on either side behind the eyes and two trebble hooks. It also has a square front lip that sits close to perpendicular to the water surface. It does not dive more that 6" if you reel it in fast. The action in a intermitten jerk that makes a poping noise on top the water and a larger wake than your traditional popper. i have maybe found one that is similar on amazon.com but i think it is much smaller and only comes in yellow. i have had my best luck with the lighter blues/silver in my region. Do anyone know anything about these? what they are called? or best where I can buy them? I have attached a picture of the ones that I found on amazon that look similar to what I am looing for.
