The Decoy Y-S21 BT Bladed Treble Hooks combine a replacement treble with a swivel-mounted willow blade, giving you a way to add moving flash to a hard bait you already fish. Instead of switching to a different lure, you can experiment with a bladed hook and see how the added attraction fits your retrieve.
Each pack contains two hooks. Choose from sizes 8, 6 and 4, then check the fit against your lure's original hardware before making the change.
A Little Flash Without Starting Over
A standard treble does its job without adding a separate moving blade. The Y-S21 BT brings that extra visual element to the hook itself: an elongated willow blade hangs below the treble on a built-in swivel. It is a useful option when you want to experiment with more flash on a familiar hard bait rather than replace the whole lure.
The tradeoff is extra hardware. A bladed hook can change a lure's balance, resistance and rise or sink behavior, especially on small or finely tuned baits. Test the modified lure beside the boat or bank before fishing it, and keep the original hooks if you want to return to the stock setup.
The Right Pick for a Hard-Bait Experiment
Consider these for bass hard baits with replaceable trebles, such as crankbaits, minnow-style plugs or lipless baits, where the hook and blade have enough room to move. A steady retrieve is a practical starting point for checking blade movement. Then try changes in speed or short pauses and watch whether the blade interferes with the hook, lure body or nearby hardware.
Start in open water or around sparse cover where exposed trebles are manageable. Sunlight can make blade flash easier to see; in stained water, treat the added flash as something to test rather than a guaranteed advantage. Thick vegetation and snag-filled cover are less forgiving places for an exposed treble and hanging blade.
Key Features
- Treble hook with an attached willow blade.
- Built-in swivel connects the blade beneath the hook.
- Replacement-hardware option for compatible hard baits.
- Available in sizes 8, 6 and 4.
- Two hooks per pack.
Choose the Size That Fits Your Lure
| Model | Hook Size | Hooks per Pack | SKU |
|---|---|---|---|
| Y-S21 BT | 8 | 2 | DEC130 |
| Y-S21 BT | 6 | 2 | DEC131 |
| Y-S21 BT | 4 | 2 | DEC132 |
Size 8 is the smallest listed option, followed by size 6 and size 4. Use the original hook size as a starting point, not a guarantee of fit: overall hook dimensions and the blade's movement also matter. Make sure the blade clears the lure body and the other hook.
Swap Carefully, Then Swim-Test
Use Halco Split Ring Pliers to open the lure's split ring and work the old hook off before fitting the replacement. Change one hook first so you can assess the effect, keeping fingers clear of the points. Inspect the ring for distortion and confirm that the new hook moves freely.
If a ring needs replacing, consider Spro Power Split Rings in a size and strength appropriate for the lure. Avoid adding unnecessarily heavy hardware, especially on baits whose action depends on precise balance.
Tackle Express Tips
- Compare the replacement with the original hook before installation, then check blade clearance through its full range of movement.
- Test the lure at slow and faster retrieve speeds. If it rolls, fouls or no longer tracks correctly, reconsider the hook size or placement.
- Keep stock hooks in a labeled compartment so you can restore the original setup when conditions call for a subtler presentation.
Before You Change Your Hooks
How many bladed hooks are included?
Each pack includes two Decoy Y-S21 BT Bladed Treble Hooks.
Will these fit every crankbait or jerkbait?
No. Check hook size, split-ring fit and clearance for both the hook and blade. Small baits and closely spaced hook hangers may not provide enough room.
Can a bladed treble change a suspending lure's action?
Yes. Added hardware can affect balance and buoyancy. Test the bait in the water with your normal line and leader before relying on its original suspension behavior.
Should I replace both hooks at once?
Start with one replacement and test the lure. That makes it easier to spot changes in action or fouling before adding another bladed hook.
Choose the size that suits your hard bait and give a familiar lure a new flash-focused presentation.
The Zoom Brush Hog 6" is one of the most trusted creature baits in bass fishing — a multi-appendage design with fluttering appendages, subtle legs, and a compact body that moves naturally on the fall and comes alive with even the slightest rod tip shake. The 6-inch size is the big-bass version, built for targeting larger fish and fishing in heavy cover where a full-profile creature bait draws strikes that smaller baits can’t. Made from Zoom’s soft, salty plastic that bass hold on to longer. 8 per pack.
Key Features
- Multi-Appendage Design — Maximum Movement & Water Displacement — The Brush Hog’s multiple fluttering appendages and subtle legs produce movement and water displacement from every angle on the fall and during the retrieve; each appendage moves independently, creating a chaotic, lifelike action that mimics a fleeing crawfish or large insect; the multi-appendage profile pushes more water than a single-tail or twin-tail creature bait, making it detectable to bass through their lateral line in both clear and stained water.
- 6" Big-Bass Profile — The 6-inch size is the larger version of the Brush Hog lineup, designed for targeting big bass that are keying on larger prey; the full 6" profile is most effective in heavy cover (matted vegetation, laydowns, dock pilings) where big bass are holding and a larger bait is needed to draw them out; also effective for punching through matted vegetation where the bulk of the 6" body carries the bait through the mat.
- Zoom Salty Plastic — Natural Feel, Longer Hold — Made from Zoom’s soft, salt-impregnated plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook through heavy cover; the soft plastic also compresses naturally on the hookset for better hook penetration.
- Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, flipping rigs, and punching rigs; the compact body threads easily onto a wide hook and the appendages remain active regardless of rig configuration; also effective as a jig trailer on large flipping jigs for a full-profile craw presentation.
- 8 Per Pack — Eight baits per pack.
Color Selection Guide
| Color | Best Application |
|---|---|
| Green Pumpkin Red | Clear to lightly stained water, natural crawfish imitation with red flake trigger |
| Watermelon Red | Clear water, natural baitfish/crawfish imitation, red flake attractor |
| Watermelon Candy | Clear to stained water, multi-color attractor, versatile all-conditions |
Best For
- Texas Rig — Heavy Cover — The primary application; rig the Brush Hog 6" on a 4/0–5/0 wide gap hook with a 1/4–3/4 oz bullet weight and fish through heavy cover; the multi-appendage action on the fall triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
- Flipping & Pitching — Pitch the Brush Hog 6" into heavy cover on a flipping rig; the 6" profile is large enough to draw big bass out of thick cover; use heavier weights (1/2–3/4 oz) to punch through matted vegetation.
- Carolina Rig — Open Water & Points — Effective on a Carolina rig for covering open water, points, and transition areas where bass are suspended or roaming; the multi-appendage action on a long leader produces a natural, drifting presentation that triggers strikes from bass that are not holding tight to cover.
- Jig Trailer — Thread the Brush Hog 6" on the back of a large flipping jig for a full-profile craw presentation; the appendages add bulk and action to the jig that a plain chunk trailer cannot match.
DOA Glass Rattles add sound to soft plastic lures without changing to a different bait. Choose Small or Large to suit the lure's body and rattle cavity. Each pack contains 6 glass rattles.
Choose Your Size
- Small: DOA recommends this size for its 2.75", 3" and 4" Shrimp, 3" Shad Tails and 4" Jerk Baits, among other models.
- Large: DOA recommends this size for its 6" Shrimp, Bait Busters, 4" Shad Tails, 5.5" Jerk Baits, Swimmin' Mullets and Big Terroreyz.
These are DOA model recommendations, not a universal fit chart based on lure length. For other soft plastics, check available body space before inserting a rattle.
Product Details
- Brand: DOA
- Type: Glass rattle insert for soft plastic lures
- Sizes: Small and Large
- Quantity: 6 rattles per pack in either size
Use a rattle when you want to experiment with an audible cue in your presentation. Browse our freshwater soft baits for rigging options; check individual bait fit before modifying it.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Plan the placement first. Keep the rattle clear of the hook path and leave flexible tails and appendages free to move.
- Prepare the opening gently. DOA suggests using an existing cavity or making a hole with a toothpick or small brass tube. Avoid forcing the glass into a tight opening.
- Check the finished rig in the water. Make a short retrieve beside you to check that the bait still tracks as intended. Compare it with an unmodified bait before committing to the change.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many rattles come in a pack?
Both Small and Large are sold in packs of 6.
Which size should I buy?
Use the DOA model examples above as a starting point. With other brands, body thickness and cavity space matter more than overall lure length.
How do I secure the rattle?
DOA says a rattle can be glued into a cavity with superglue. Check adhesive compatibility with your soft plastic before applying it.
Will a rattle fit every soft plastic?
No universal fit is specified. A narrow body or crowded hook channel may leave too little room. Do not force an insert that distorts the bait.
Keitech Little Spider 3.5" is a squid-scented soft-plastic bait for anglers wanting a larger Little Spider profile on a football head or as a jig trailer. Each pack contains five 3.5-inch baits in your chosen color.
Features and specifications
- Size: 3.5 inches
- Pack quantity: 5 baits
- Material: PVC compound
- Scent: Keitech's strong squid scent
- Recommended presentations: Super Football Head, Model II Jig trailer, or drop shot
Keitech replaced the earlier rubber material with PVC to support its color patterns and squid scent. The 3.5-inch version gives you another profile to compare when the smaller Little Spider sizes do not match the presentation you want.
Choose your setup
Try a football head for a bottom-oriented presentation, or add the bait to a Model II Jig as a trailer. Lay the hook beside the body before rigging to check the exit point and hook clearance. For a drop shot, choose your hook and weight around the cover, depth, and current.
The color selector lists Scuppernong, Green Pumpkin PP Blue, Black, Green Pumpkin Pepper, Brown Purple, and Blue Back Cinnamon. Compare a forage-matching option with a darker silhouette; change one part of your presentation at a time when testing colors.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Check the trailer's alignment. Thread the body straight onto the hook and inspect it after a strike. A crooked or bunched-up bait can change how the rig moves.
- Use weight to maintain control. Start with a head or sinker that lets you follow the bottom or hold your intended depth. Increase weight when drift makes the presentation difficult to track.
- Give each movement a pause. Try short lifts rather than constant shaking, then adjust the pause length based on fish response.
Frequently asked questions
How many baits are in this pack?
Five 3.5-inch Little Spider baits in the selected color.
Which jig does Keitech recommend for this size?
Keitech lists the Super Football Head and recommends the Model II Jig when using this size as a trailer.
Can I use it on a drop shot?
Yes. Keitech also lists drop-shot use for the 3.5-inch Little Spider.
Is it rubber or PVC?
The current version uses PVC, replacing the earlier rubber compound.
Is it scented?
Yes. This bait contains Keitech's strong squid scent.

Does it also measure length?
Yes. A tape is built into the scale. Accu-Cull lists it as 38 inches / 1 meter; those are the manufacturer's nominal specifications, not an exact unit conversion.
The Owner Phantom Tube Hook features a unique weighted system designed specifically for rigging tube and hollow baits weedless. Unlike rigs where weights are positioned along the shank of the hook, this hook allows for the placing of the weight "inside" the bait. When a bass strikes, it feels only the soft, natural texture of the tube, so it is less likely to drop the bait. Properly rigged, the Tube Hook is completely weedless. Additional features include a 45° eye bend, short shank, huge wide bite, Cutting Point, and Black Chrome finish.
Owner tube hook features flexible inside weights, weedless rigging, Cutting Point, and horizontal fall. Cutting Point hooks from Owner feature a patented "T" shape triple edged blade led by a needle sharp point. As point begins to penetrate the three cutting edges slice their way through the toughest cartilage, scales, and jawbone for a positive, effortless hookset.
Key Features:
- Internal Weight System: Weight goes inside the bait
- Weedless Rigging: Completely weedless when rigged properly
- Cutting Point: Patented triple edged blade
- 45° Eye Bend: Optimal rigging angle
- Short Shank: Perfect for tubes
- Huge Wide Bite: Better hookup ratio
- Black Chrome Finish: Corrosion resistant
Performance Advantages:
- Natural Feel: Bass feels only soft tube texture
- Less Likely to Drop: No hard weight to detect

When you need tube hooks with unique internal weight system for weedless rigging, patented Cutting Point with triple edged blade, 45° eye bend, short shank, huge wide bite, natural feel that bass won't drop, and Black Chrome finish for tube and hollow bait fishing for bass in heavy cover, the Owner Phantom Tube Hooks are the choice of serious bass anglers.
Note: 4 hooks per package. Internal weight system allows weight inside the bait. Completely weedless when properly rigged. Patented Cutting Point with triple edged blade for effortless hooksets.
Storm Suspend Sticky Weights, sold as SuspenDots and SuspenStrips, let you fine-tune a hard lure's buoyancy without drilling into the body. Add small amounts of weight to slow a floating bait's rise, work toward a suspending presentation, or increase its sink rate. Choose 80 dots or 70 strips per pack.
Choose dots or strips
| Option | Pack quantity | Weight per piece | Useful for |
|---|---|---|---|
| SuspenDots | 80 | 0.2 g / 0.007 oz | Concentrating a small amount of weight in one location |
| SuspenStrips | 70 | 0.25 g / 0.009 oz | Distributing weight along a surface or trimming smaller pieces |
Per-piece weights are listed by Storm. These are tuning weights, not a guarantee that a particular number will make every lure suspend.
How to use them
Apply to a clean, dry area of the lure, then test its behavior in water. The self-adhesive design is removable, and the flexible strips can be cut for smaller adjustments. Placement matters as well as total weight: adding weight nearer the nose can affect posture differently from placing it farther back.
Use them to experiment with crankbaits, jerkbaits, or hard swimbaits. Keep the lure's joints, hook hangers, and moving parts clear. You can concentrate additional weight by stacking pieces, but test one small change at a time. A strip can also be wrapped around a hook shank for a custom weighted setup; leave the point, barb, and eye unobstructed.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Test with the tackle you will fish. Fit the intended hooks, split rings, snap, and line before tuning. Changing those components afterward can change the result.
- Start small. Add one dot or a trimmed section of strip, then observe the lure at rest and during a retrieve. Remove weight if the action or sink rate changes more than intended.
- Record the placement. Take a photo of a setup you like and recheck it at the water before fishing. Check that the adhesive edges remain seated after repeated casts.
Frequently asked questions
Will these make any floating lure suspend?
They can help tune a lure toward suspension, but the result depends on its starting buoyancy, hardware, weight placement, and fishing conditions. Test rather than relying on a fixed piece count.
What is the difference between dots and strips?
Dots put weight in a compact area. Strips offer an elongated shape that can be trimmed or wrapped. The pack quantities and per-piece weights differ as shown above.
Can I remove the weights?
Yes. Storm describes them as removable. Peel carefully and check the lure's finish as you work.
Do I need to drill the lure?
No. The weights attach to the surface with adhesive, allowing you to adjust ballast without making a hole.
The Owner Rip'n Minnow 65 is a compact, high-detail suspending jerkbait built to trigger bass that won't commit. At 2.5" and 1/4 oz, it sits perfectly in the strike zone on every pause — and with living eyes, internal rattles, and a reflective foil finish, it looks and sounds like the real thing on the way down. This is the bait you reach for when the water is cold, clear, and the fish are tight-lipped.
Stays Down. Stays Deadly.
Most jerkbaits float up on the pause — and that's exactly when a bass turns away. The Rip'n Minnow 65 suspends neutrally, hanging in place at 3–4 ft while the fish decides. Pair it with 6–8 lb fluorocarbon and it dives a touch deeper, tracks more true, and draws more bites from fish that have seen everything else. Rigged with Owner Stinger 31 cutting point trebles that are sharp enough to stick on the lightest pressure.
When Standard Crankbaits Come Up Empty
In cold water or post-front conditions, bass go neutral — they follow baits but don't commit. A floating jerkbait rises away during the pause; a sinking jerkbait drops out of the zone. The Rip'n Minnow 65 hangs right where the fish is sitting, giving it all the time it needs to decide. That pause is often the difference between a swing and a miss and a fish in the net.
What Sets It Apart
- Suspending Buoyancy — Neutral suspension holds at 3–4 ft on the pause; doesn't float up or sink away
- Living Eyes — Realistic, high-contrast eyes add depth and trigger reaction strikes
- Internal Rattles — Sound chamber calls fish from a distance in stained or low-visibility water
- Reflective Foil Finish — Multi-angle flash mimics a disoriented baitfish on the pause
- Owner Stinger 31 Trebles — Thin-wire cutting point hooks; extremely sharp, ideal for light-biting fish
- Fluorocarbon-Friendly Design — Dives slightly deeper and suspends more true on fluoro vs. mono
The Right Pick If…
- You're fishing clear water where fish can see every detail of the bait
- Water temps are below 55°F and fish are sluggish or neutral
- You need a smaller profile to match finesse forage like small shad or fry
- Fish are following your larger jerkbaits but not committing
- You want a jerkbait that works on both a jerk-pause cadence and a straight retrieve
Best Fishing Techniques
- Jerk-pause-pause — Two sharp twitches followed by a 3–5 second pause; let the suspending action do the work
- Steady retrieve — Dives to 3–4 ft and wobbles; effective when bass are actively feeding
- Long pause dead-stick — In very cold water (sub-50°F), hold for 10+ seconds; neutral fish can't resist a stationary target
- Twitch over shallow cover — Work over submerged grass edges, dock posts, and laydowns at the 3–4 ft range
Best Conditions
- Cold water (fall through early spring) — suspending action is most effective when fish metabolism is low
- Clear water — living eyes and foil finish are most visible; fish can pick out detail at range
- Post-front bluebird days — neutral fish need the pause to commit
- Shallow to mid-depth structure in the 3–6 ft range
Best For
- Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass
- Spotted Bass (Kentucky Bass)
- Trout in reservoirs and tailwaters
- Walleye on slow jerk-pause presentations
- Any situation requiring a small, realistic suspending profile
Models & Specs
Specs are loaded dynamically from product metafields. Rip'n Minnow 65: 2.5" length, 1/4 oz, suspending, dives 3–4 ft. Available colors: Baby Bass, Rainbow Ghost, Shiner, Golden Shiner, Perch, Pink Passion.
Tackle Express Tips
- Go fluoro. 6–8 lb fluorocarbon is the right pairing — it sinks slightly, helping the bait suspend more true and dive a touch deeper than mono. It's also nearly invisible in clear water where this bait shines.
- Handle the hooks carefully. The Stinger 31 trebles are thin-wire by design — that's what makes them so sharp and effective on light-biting fish. Use needle-nose pliers or a dehooker at the boat; don't bend them trying to free a deeply hooked fish.
- Slow your pause down in cold water. Most anglers don't pause long enough. In water below 50°F, count to 10 after each twitch. Bass in cold water need time — make the bait wait for them.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between suspending and floating jerkbaits?
A: A floating jerkbait rises toward the surface on the pause, pulling it out of the strike zone. A suspending jerkbait like the Rip'n Minnow 65 holds its depth, giving neutral fish the time they need to commit without the bait moving away from them.
Q: Can I use this bait on braid or mono?
A: Yes, but fluorocarbon is strongly recommended. Mono floats and will cause the bait to rise slightly on the pause. Braid has near-zero stretch, which can pull the hooks on light-biting fish. Fluoro gives the best suspend, the best feel, and the best hook retention.
Q: The hooks seem fragile — is that normal?
A: Yes, and intentional. Thin-wire hooks flex slightly, which prevents the fish from using the hook as a lever to throw the bait. They're not designed for heavy-cover flipping — they're designed for open-water jerkbait fishing where that flex is an advantage. Use a net whenever possible.

The Deps Evoke Zero 120 Topwater is a revolutionary single prop plug designed by Elite Angler Kenta Kimura to create the loudest, most explosive surface commotion possible. Staying true to the Evoke Series with a body profile inspired by shallow crankbaits, the Zero flat out causes a raucous disturbance on the surface that attracts bass from long distances and triggers violent strikes.
Engineered with a durable aluminum (duralumin) single prop, the Evoke Zero creates a distinctive squeaky clapping sound as it works on the surface. The rotational movement of the high-strength duralumin prop creates an unbalanced and erratic action that shakes the body, generates powerful sound, and produces strong vibration and waves on the surface. This makes it an exceptional search bait for covering vast amounts of water and appealing to big bass.
The fat body design provides excellent buoyancy and a low center of gravity that runs true even with the rotational force of the prop. A built-in swivel in the upper line eye works in synchronization with the prop, reducing grass catch, minimizing line twist, and helping to increase landing percentage when bass thrash during the fight. The premium hook setup features a RYUGI pierced quad front hook with four hook points on a swivel for better hookups, paired with a super-sharp rear treble.
Key Features:
- Durable Aluminum Single Prop: High-strength duralumin creates explosive sound and unbalanced erratic action
- Squeaky Clapping Sound: Distinctive noise attracts bass from long distances
- Strong Surface Vibration: Prop rotation creates powerful waves and disturbance
- Built-In Swivel Line Eye: Reduces grass catch, minimizes line twist, and improves landing ratio
- Fat Body Design: Excellent buoyancy with low center of gravity for true running
- RYUGI Pierced Quad Front Hook: Four hook points on swivel for superior hookup percentage
- Premium Rear Treble: Super-sharp RYUGI #2 treble for solid hooksets
- Search Bait Design: Covers vast amounts of water to locate active fish
Specifications:
- Length: 120mm (approximately 4.7")
- Weight: 29.5g (approximately 1 oz)
- Type: Floating topwater single prop plug
- Front Hook: RYUGI #1 pierced quad on swivel
- Rear Hook: RYUGI #2 treble
- Split Ring: #3
- Target Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pike
Retrieve Techniques:
- Steady Retrieve: Constant speed creates continuous clapping sound and surface disturbance
- Stop-and-Go: Pause between retrieves to trigger following fish
- Fast Burn: Aggressive retrieve for reaction strikes in active conditions
- Slow Crawl: Methodical retrieve for maximum prop noise and vibration
Design Details:
Durable Aluminum Prop: The rotational movement of the high-strength duralumin single prop creates an unbalanced and erratic action that shakes the body and creates a powerful sound. The prop and aluminum collars will eventually wear over time, and replacement prop sets are available for peak performance.
Swivel Line Eye: Built into the upper part of the body to work in synchronization with the prop, helping during the cast and reducing grass catch and line twist. Also helps when bass thrash during the fight to increase landing percentage.
Ideal Applications:
- Searching and covering large areas of water
- Early morning and late evening topwater fishing
- Calm to slightly choppy water conditions
- Around points, flats, and shallow structure
- Targeting aggressive, active bass
- When bass are feeding on surface baitfish
When you need a topwater prop bait that creates explosive noise and attracts bass from long distances, the Deps Evoke Zero 120 delivers the loudest, most effective surface presentation available.
The Commercial-Grade Version Anglers Asked For
The XTRATUF Wheelhouse Ankle Deck Boot exists because working fishermen kept telling XTRATUF the same thing: the Ankle Deck Boot is great, but it is not built for a 12-hour shift. The Wheelhouse is the answer — a genuine commercial grade boot in ankle height, built on a wider last because feet swell over a long day at sea, with a reinforced upper and an SRC-rated outsole. In Black, it is the version most deckhands and long-range crew end up in.
Deciding between models? Read the XTRATUF Boots Buyer's Guide — the Wheelhouse and the Ankle Deck Boot are not interchangeable.
Taller Than the Standard Ankle Deck Boot
Worth knowing before you order: XTRATUF lists the Wheelhouse at a 7 in full height, an inch taller than the 6 in Ankle Deck Boot. It is still an ankle-height boot — it is not a knee boot — but that extra inch of shaft gives you more coverage against spray and wash coming across the deck, and it is one of the reasons crew prefer it for long days.
What Commercial Grade Actually Means Here
Three concrete upgrades over the standard Ankle Deck Boot:
- SRC-rated outsole. SRC is the highest of the European slip-resistance classifications — tested on both steel and ceramic. It is also non-marking and oil-resistant, so it will not skate on a diesel-slicked deck or leave marks on gelcoat.
- RDR® rubber. XTRATUF's compound outwears standard rubber in solvents, caustics, hydrocarbons, oils, fats and acids. That is the difference between a boot that survives a season of bait tanks and fuel spills and one that goes soft.
- Reinforced upper and dual-density insole. The toe, heel and pull tabs are reinforced in the high-wear areas that fail first. The EVA/PU blend footbed uses built-in channels to move air and moisture, which is what keeps your feet from going numb on hour ten.
Sizing: Order DOWN on Half Sizes
This is the single most important thing on this page, and it is the reverse of every other XTRATUF model. The Wheelhouse is built on a wider last, so XTRATUF recommends that half sizes order down a size. A 10.5 buys the 10, not the 11. If you already own the standard Ankle Deck Boot, do not order the same number — you will end up with a boot that is loose in the heel.
The Right Pick If...
- You work decks, run charters, or crew long-range trips — not weekend fishing
- You are on your feet 12+ hours and your feet swell by the end of it
- You have a wide foot and the standard Ankle Deck Boot pinches
- You are around fuel, oil, bait slurry, or cleaning chemicals regularly
- You want the highest slip rating available in a deck boot

Tackle Express Tips
- Size down before you size up. Nearly every fit complaint we hear on the Wheelhouse comes from someone who ordered the same size as their standard Ankle Deck Boot. The wider last changes the math — half sizes go down.
- Pull the footbed out to dry. The dual-density insole is removable. After a long trip, pull both footbeds and let the shells air out separately — they dry in a fraction of the time and the boot stays fresher.
- Rinse fuel and bait slurry off the same day. RDR rubber resists hydrocarbons and acids far better than standard rubber, but resistance is not immunity. Hose them down before the residue sits overnight.
FAQ
How tall is the Wheelhouse?
XTRATUF lists it at a 7 in full height — one inch taller than the 6 in Ankle Deck Boot. It is still an ankle-height deck boot, just with a bit more shaft coverage.
Do I order up or down in the Wheelhouse?
Down. The Wheelhouse is built on a slightly wider last, so XTRATUF recommends half sizes order down a size. This is the opposite of the standard Ankle Deck Boot and the 12 in Legacy, which both size up.
What is the difference between the Wheelhouse and the Ankle Deck Boot?
The Wheelhouse is commercial grade: SRC-rated outsole instead of Chevron, RDR® rubber, reinforced upper, dual-density insole, a wider fit, and an inch more height. The Ankle Deck Boot is Explorer Grade — lighter, hand-layered, built for sport and recreational anglers.
Does the Wheelhouse have the XPRESSCOOL liner?
No. XPRESSCOOL is on the standard Ankle Deck Boot. The Wheelhouse uses a dual-density EVA/PU footbed with built-in ventilation channels.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes — SRC-rated, non-marking and oil-resistant. Safe on fiberglass decks.

SPRO Dean Rojas Bronzeye Poppin' Frog 70 is a hollow-body topwater frog that gives you more than one way to work a patch of bass cover. Its popper-style lip can make a commotion on the surface, while the weighted body is designed to cast well and land upright. When a quiet frog presentation is not getting attention, change the rhythm and let this one call fish up.
Make Some Noise Over Cover
The popping lip is the reason to choose this frog: it lets you vary the surface presentation rather than relying on one retrieve. Work it around openings and edges in vegetation, pause, and adjust the cadence until the fish tell you what they want. Its hollow body and 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG double frog hook are built into a topwater bait aimed at bass in thick cover.
The Right Pick If...
You want a larger popping frog with a 2 3/4-inch body and 3/4-ounce weight. For a different size or presentation, compare the SPRO Bronzeye Popper Frog 60 or the SPRO Bronzeye Frog 65. This 70's popping face is the advantage when you want surface disturbance; a quieter frog may suit fish that shy away from it.
Best For
- Topwater bass fishing around vegetation and thick cover.
- Popping, pausing and varying your retrieve around openings in cover.
- Anglers looking for a weighted frog designed to land upright.
Key Features
- Hollow-body popping frog with popper-style lip.
- 2 3/4 in length and 3/4 oz weight, as listed in the existing product details.
- 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG double frog hook.
- Ten listed color choices.

| Model | Length | Weight | Hook |

| Poppin' Frog 70 (all listed colors) | 2 3/4 in | 3/4 oz | 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG double frog hook |
Choosing a Color
Start with a shade you can track on the surface and adjust to the light and water clarity. The color names identify the variants; their exact appearance is best checked in the product images before you choose.
How to Fish It
Cast past an opening or edge in the cover, then bring the frog into the target area with short pops and pauses. Try a slower cadence when fish follow without committing. Pair it with an appropriate frog setup and consider SPRO Bronzeye Braid 8X Moss Green when fishing heavy vegetation.
Tackle Express Tips
- Pause the lure at gaps and edges rather than rushing it across every spot.
- Check that the hook points are clear after dragging through vegetation.
- Change your retrieve cadence before changing spots.
