After several years of research and development, combining the expertise of Lucky Craft's developers and pro, Gerald Swindle, the G-Splash was born. It is popular among fishing enthusiasts and just as efficient as other Lucky Craft topwater lures such as the Sammy and the Gunfish.
According to Swindle, the G-Splash is a unique topwater lure designed to mimic shad whether they are fleeing from a bass or skipping across the top on their own. With its unique actions and characteristics, the G-Splash produces several efficient, fish-catching techniques.
"The cup of the lip gives the G-Splash the ability to throw water out in front while being fished really fast," Swindle said. "That's what makes this bait really different from other poppers like it on the market. A lot of popper-type baits can't be fished fast, and when we were building this bait, we were hoping to create a topwater, popping bait we could fish fast. And we did."
This topwater plug is not intended to "walk the dog" like other Lucky Craft topwaters such as the Sammy and the Gunfish.
"I use a popping motion with the G-Splash," Swindle said. "I pop it down, kind of similar to a jerkbait motion, but not as long. It's a pop, pop action, while twitching the rod straight down. It makes the water spray out in front of the bait. Occasionally I might pause it too, but mostly it's a straight twitching action."
