hope this isnt a repeat post....

how does the Lucky Craft Gunfish preform? w/ that cupped lip, it looks like it will spit a great deal, but how well does it walk the dog...if it does both easily, i think i will get one. are they good baits?

maybe this question cant be answered, but which would be better, a sammy or gunfish? or are they each good for different applications. if so, which applications are each better for?

thanks guys!

The Gunfish is an amazing topwater, it slashes, spits, and walks all over the place...

If you want a very noisy, frantic action the the Gunfish is perfect.

Also, if you want a quiet gliding type of walking action when you need a subtle quiet type of bait the gunfish is perfect. For me its the best use for the bait instead of the noisy franitc action decribed above and most people throwing the bait don't know the bait will work this way. My favorite on slick water with no wind on a bright sunny day or when the fish are spooky. You can get a bunch of different actions from the bait depending on how its used. There are better noisy splashy baits and better walking baits but not many that are versitile enough to do both then glide quietly along on the top without making much of a splash at all. The glide action is more like a fluke type of action. For me its perfect when fish want something quiet but also works as an ok substitute for when fish want a Pop-R type action or a Sammy type action without having to change baits. It also is a great bait to see what the fish want without having to try a bunch of baits since it does everything. After I figure it out I switch to a sammy or Pop-R or if they like the quiet glide of the gunfish I leave the gunfish tied on.
