A wooden topwater plug with a face plate (like a giant Jitterbug). It casts well and is aasy to use simply cranked at various speeds and paused, but with a little effort you can get a lot more from this plug. It will skip - if twitched with a high rod tip - and can be jumped over weed strands or other obstacles, or hurried in a series of hops like a bait fish jumping across the surface. Fast, short, twitches turn it into a kind of mad stick bait. A versatile topwater.
