I have a hula popper that looks like a sparrow and have caught a few bass with it.
I dont think the sparrow color has anything to do with catching the fish though.
Who knows ? lol.
if that's the lure i heard one guy was using one time at the glen, then it does create some major disturbance and a very loud unique sound. saw him pull up 2 bass.
Looks like a good idea. I don't think its anything groundbreaking, as there are a zillion topwater baits on the market, but it's certainly a good idea.
I remember a buddy of mine had one of those we coined it the mousey, hehe, anyway he was outfishing us. I had on a jitterbug and my other buddy a pop'r.
Actually larger LMB will go for birds. Up north I have heard several stories of guys catching trophy LMB and having them mounted, when prepared they have found full size Black Birds in their stomach.
This bait rocks!! If you like fishing a Jitterbug , you'll love a Crazy crawler!!! There's a swimming stroke called the Austrailian crawl.... and this lure makes a side to side motion while being retreived that needs to be seen to be believed!! They have a couple of sizes...the small one really pisses off the smallies... the largersizes are great for largemouth and pike!!
My son threw the crazy crawler quite a few times at the Glen ,it sure kept him busy,didn`t get anything on it ,but we plan to change that this year lol.
The crazy crawler has been around for a long time.
