Creme Pond Favorites Top Water 2.75" Black Back

The Creme Pond Favorites Top Water 2.75" Black Back is a classic walking topwater lure built for anglers who want explosive surface strikes. This hardbait floats at rest, but comes alive with quick jerks—it's engineered to walk side-to-side in that irresistible left-right-left pattern that triggers aggressive strikes from bass, pike, and other predators hunting near the surface. At 2.75 inches, it's compact enough for precise casting into weedy shallows and tight cover, yet substantial enough to create the commotion fish can't ignore.

Topwater fishing rewards patience and rhythm. This lure rewards the angler who masters the twitch-and-pause cadence. Work it with sharp, controlled twitches of your rod tip and let the lure's built-in action do the rest—the walking motion is already baked in. You'll see strikes that make topwater fishing unforgettable: explosive blowups and head-shaking runs. The Black Back finish works across a range of light conditions and pairs well with early morning, evening, and overcast-day hunting when fish are actively feeding in the shallows.

Whether you're working a pond's edges, shallow flats, or the weedy margins where bass stack up, this proven Creme design has earned its place in tackle boxes for decades. It's the kind of lure that rewards repetition and confidence—throw it where you see baitfish activity and be ready for the strike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fish will this lure catch?

The 2.75-inch size is effective for bass, pike, and other predatory fish that hunt in shallow water and respond to topwater strikes. Actual catch success depends on local species, season, and presentation.

How do I fish a walking topwater lure?

Cast near structure or where you see feeding activity, then work it with quick, rhythmic jerks of your rod tip. The lure is designed to walk side-to-side with this action. Pause briefly between twitches to let fish strike, then repeat.

When is the best time to throw this lure?

Topwater fishing is most effective during low-light periods—dawn, dusk, and overcast days—when fish are actively feeding in the shallows. It can also work during midday on calm water or around heavy cover.
