Invasive Lures Blaze Runner Compact Topwater Lure

A Compact Topwater for Grass Edges and Pockets

The Invasive Lures Blaze Runner offers a small-profile surface presentation for largemouth bass and snakehead. A trailing blade adds light splash, vibration, and flash as the bait skitters across the water, giving you a downsized alternative to larger topwater lures.

Work it along shallow grass edges or through open pockets with a slow to moderate retrieve. The soft silicone-latex body compresses under pressure, while an internal weight secured directly to the hook helps balance the lure.

How to Fish It

Choose a rod rated for the lure and line suited to the vegetation you're fishing. Cast along a grass edge or across an open pocket, then start with a slow, steady retrieve that keeps the trailing blade working. Watch the bait beside you to find a speed that produces a clean surface disturbance.

Use short rod movements for a skittering presentation, or wind steadily to search a longer stretch of shoreline. Add a brief burst near an opening, then pause before continuing. If grass fouls the blade or the action changes, clear the lure before the next cast.

After a strike, wait until you feel the fish load the line before setting the hook firmly. Inspect the body, hooks, blade attachment, and knot after fish or cover contact. Allow the lure to dry before storing it.
