The Smithwick Devil’s Horse is legendary in certain regions of the country as the No. 1 topwater lure for giant prespawn largemouth, but it’s also an effective lure for smallmouth in clear streams any time of year. The propellers at the front and tail of the lure can be adjusted to throw more water and work slower, or bent back for a quicker, quieter retrieve. The Devil’s Horse simply catches fish because it creates action without moving forward far, so you can work a fish a long time and simply tease it into striking. Built for anglers who target aggressive surface strikes, this topwater lure combines adjustable prop action with a compact, enticing presentation that triggers reaction bites. Use a slow, erratic retrieve to maximize splash and vibration in prespawn conditions, or tighten the cadence for clear-water smallmouth where subtlety wins. The dual-prop design lets you customize wake and noise to match conditions and fish mood. Ideal for bass fishing, tournament play, and weekend trips, it excels around weed edges, rock banks, docks, and shallow flats. Durable hardware and balanced construction ensure reliable hookup and consistent performance cast after cast. Add this versatile topwater to your lineup to provoke explosive strikes and convert more surface opportunities into landed fish.
