NF means no feather. Lucky Craft dresses the rear treble on the standard Gunfish 115; this version leaves it bare. Small change, real consequence — without the feather the tail sits differently at rest and the bait walks a touch freer, and you're not fishing a dressing that mats down and holds water after a few fish.
Short version: 4-1/2" walking topwater, 3/5 oz, floating, two trebles (#4, #5). Everything the 95 does, exaggerated — more water thrown, wider action, longer reach.
What the 115 Does That the 95 Doesn't
Lucky Craft pro Brent Ehrler puts it plainly: everything on the 115 is exaggerated compared to the 95. It sprays more water, it walks wider, and it calls fish from further. Worked fast, it throws water twelve to fifteen inches to each side.
That's the whole argument. This isn't a bigger bait for bigger fish — it's a louder bait for reaching fish that a 95 never told about it. It's still a reasonable size for tournament keepers while being big enough to interest a giant.
Where It Earns Its Keep
- Covering water fast. The heavy metal composite weighting system casts a long way, and this bait is built to be fished quickly.
- Calling fish from depth. The cupped mouth and the sound chamber together pull fish up off structure that never see a quieter bait.
- Schooling and surface-feeding fish, where the spray reads as a feeding opportunity to everything nearby.
- Wind and chop — the casting system handles it, and a loud bait is the right call when the surface is broken up.
How to Work It
Fish it fast. This is the bait's design intent, not a stylistic preference. Rhythmic twitches into slack line get the walk and the spit going together — a tight line drives it straight and you lose both.
Use the pause anyway. It floats, so it holds position when you stop it. After a blow-up and a miss, letting it sit is more productive than snatching it away.
115NF or 117? The Real Question
These two are the same length and the same weight. The difference is hooks.
| Gunfish 115NF | Gunfish 117 | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 4-1/2" (115mm) | 4-1/2" (117mm) |
| Weight | 3/5 oz (19.0 g) | 3/5 oz (19.0 g) |
| Hooks | Two — #4, #5 | Three — #5, #5, #4 |
| Rear treble | No feather | — |
| Take it when | Fishing around cover where a third treble is a liability; you want the cleanest walk | Fish are slashing and missing; you want the extra hooking surface |
Every Color Here Is a Limited Run
Lucky Craft lists the entire 115NF lineup under limited-run colors. When a colorway sells through, it isn't automatically reproduced. If you've found one that works on your water, buying a spare is not paranoia.
| Color | When to fish it |
|---|---|
| Chartreuse Shad | Stained water and low light — visible without being garish. |
| Ghost Minnow | Clear water and pressured fish — the subtle option. |
| Aurora Black | Bright sky and tough bites — silhouettes hard from below. |
Fishing It Around Santa Clarita
A loud, long-casting topwater earns its keep on the days fish are boiling out of reach. We publish Castaic Lake fishing reports with current conditions — worth reading before you commit a morning to the surface.
Recommended Gear
- Rod: medium to medium-heavy, moderate action, 7' or longer. Length helps the cast; a forgiving tip keeps trebles in the fish.
- Line: braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader. Braid moves the bait; the leader handles cover.
- Avoid heavy fluorocarbon straight through — it sinks and pulls the nose down, fighting the float and the walk.
Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew
- Twitch into slack, not into tension. The single thing that separates people who can walk this bait from people who can't.
- Fish it faster than feels right. The spit and the wide walk only show up at speed. Slow retrieves waste what this bait is for.
- Wait to feel weight before setting. Setting on the splash pulls it out of the fish's mouth — the most common way topwater fish are lost.
- Buy the spare. These are limited-run colors. The one you love is the one you'll lose in a tree.
Common Mistakes
- Fishing it slow. Wrong tool for a slow presentation — drop to a 95 or fish a subtler bait.
- Working it on a tight line. The bait needs slack to turn.
- Too stiff a rod. Costs you fish on every strike.
- Assuming it's the same as the 117. Same size, one fewer hook. Pick deliberately.

One Lucky Craft Gunfish 115NF in the color selected, factory rigged with two trebles and no rear feather. No spare hooks or split rings included.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NF stand for?
No feather. The standard Gunfish 115 has a dressed rear treble; this version leaves it bare.
How big is it?
4-1/2 inches (115mm) and 3/5 oz (19 grams).
How many hooks?
Two trebles — one #4 and one #5.
115NF or 117?
Same length and weight. The 117 carries a third treble for more hooking surface on short strikes; the 115NF has two, which is cleaner around cover.
How fast should I fish it?
Fast. Worked quickly it sprays water twelve to fifteen inches to each side — that spray is what calls fish from a distance.
Does it float?
Yes. It holds position on the pause, which is where a lot of the bites come from.
Will these colors come back?
Lucky Craft lists the whole 115NF lineup as limited run, so not necessarily. Call the shop and we'll tell you what's inbound.
What rod and line?
Medium to medium-heavy, moderate action, 7' or longer. Braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader; avoid heavy fluorocarbon straight through.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 3" Shad Shape Worm?
The Yamamoto 3" Shad Shape Worm is the finesse angler's secret weapon in ultra-clear water. Its compact shad profile and salt-impregnated body mimic small baitfish with uncanny realism — triggering strikes from finicky bass that have seen every other bait in the box. Whether you're drop shotting suspended fish on forward-facing sonar or Damiki rigging over deep structure, the 3" Shad Shape Worm gets bit when nothing else will.
Main Use & Benefit
A 3-inch salt-impregnated shad-profile finesse bait designed for ultra-clear water and pressured bass — its compact baitfish silhouette and smooth, even fall trigger strikes on drop shot, Damiki rig, fly-line, and shaky head presentations where larger baits get ignored.
Problem It Solves
Standard finesse worms and larger shad baits are too big and unnatural-looking for ultra-clear water and heavily pressured fisheries where bass have seen everything. The 3" Shad Shape Worm's compact profile and realistic shad silhouette match the small baitfish bass are keying on — producing bites in conditions where downsizing is the only answer.
Advantages
- ✅ Compact 3" shad profile — matches small baitfish in ultra-clear water
- ✅ Salt-impregnated Yamamoto formula — natural fall rate, added scent, fish hold on longer
- ✅ Smooth, even fall — no rolling or spinning on the drop
- ✅ Versatile — drop shot, Damiki rig, fly-line, shaky head
- ✅ 10 proven color options across natural and reaction shades
- ✅ 10 per pack at $4.59 — excellent value
- ⚠️ 3" compact profile — best for finesse and clear water; for larger forage or stained water, consider the 3.75" Shad Shape Worm
When to Choose It
Reach for the 3" Shad Shape Worm when bass are keying on small baitfish in ultra-clear water, when larger finesse baits are getting ignored, or when you need to downsize on a drop shot or Damiki rig to trigger bites from finicky fish. It's the go-to for high-pressure fisheries, post-frontal conditions, and any situation where a compact, realistic shad profile outperforms everything else.
Best Fishing Techniques
- Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–24" above the weight; the shad body quivers and glides with every twitch for a natural suspended baitfish presentation; deadly on FFS targeting suspended fish
- Damiki Rig — hook through the nose on a 1/16–1/8 oz Damiki head; the compact shad profile hovers naturally in the strike zone and triggers reaction strikes from deep, suspended bass
- Fly-Line (Mosquito Hook) — thread a #1 or #2 mosquito hook through the nose and twitch along the bottom on light fluorocarbon; the dying-baitfish action is irresistible in ultra-clear water
- Shaky Head — thread onto a 3/16 oz shaky head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; the shad profile quivers naturally on the pause
- Ned Rig — compact presentation on hard bottom for finicky fish in clear water
Best Conditions
- Ultra-clear water (visibility 3ft+) where a compact, natural profile is critical
- Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
- Heavily pressured tournament lakes and clear natural lakes
- Deep structure and suspended fish on drop shot and Damiki rig
- Year-round — especially effective in summer and fall when bass are keying on small shad

Tackle Express Tips
- Go ultra-light on the drop shot — The 3" Shad Shape Worm shines on a drop shot with 6–8 lb fluorocarbon or a 10–15 lb braid / 6–8 lb fluoro leader. Use a 1/4 oz or lighter drop shot weight to keep the bait in the strike zone longer. The compact profile is most effective when the bait barely moves — let the water current and line tension do the work.
- Natural Shad for clear water, 306/187 w/ Chartreuse for stained — Natural Shad is your go-to in ultra-clear water where a realistic forage match is critical. Switch to 306/187 w/ Chartreuse or Blue Pearl / Silver Flake when water clarity drops or you need a subtle reaction color.
- Damiki rig for deep suspended fish — The 3" Shad Shape Worm is one of the best Damiki rig baits available. Use a 1/16 oz Damiki head in 20–40ft of water and let the bait hover in the strike zone. Watch your sonar — when fish rise to investigate, don't move the bait. The strike usually comes on the pause.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between the 3" and 3.75" Shad Shape Worm?
A: The 3" is your ultra-finesse option for ultra-clear water and heavily pressured fish where a smaller, more compact profile gets more bites. The 3.75" has a healthier shad body that falls faster and is more visible in slightly stained water. Start with the 3" when conditions are toughest; move to the 3.75" when you need more presence or a faster fall.
Q: What hook size works best for drop shotting the 3" Shad Shape Worm?
A: A #1 or #2 Gamakatsu or Owner drop shot hook works best. Nose-hook the bait for a horizontal, gliding presentation, or hook through the mid-body for a more vertical, quivering action. Use a #1 for a more subtle profile in ultra-clear water.
Q: Is the 3" Shad Shape Worm good for forward-facing sonar fishing?
A: Yes — it's an excellent FFS drop shot bait. The compact shad profile reads clearly on screen and the natural fall triggers strikes from fish you can see in real time. Nose-hook on a #1 drop shot hook with 12–18" of leader and watch how fish react to the bait on the fall.

Pushing the envelope of what’s possible with a buzzbait, the River2Sea Opening Bell Buzzbait loudly calls to fish and tell them there is a free meal available. Featuring a heavy-duty wire frame, the Opening Bell Buzzbait utilizes a large blade that sits directly in front of a hard plastic baitfish style body, which keeps the profile ultra compact and mimics a fleeing shad much more efficiently than a traditional buzzbait.
The blade sits on top of a brass rivet to create a loud squeaking noise and also contacts a solid brass knocker on every rotation so fish can hear it from greater distances. Behind the ABS injected main body, the Opening Bell Buzzbait features a hand tied skirt that adds even more lively flowing action and hides the razor sharp jig hook.
If fish are short striking the bait, it comes with an optional treble hook that can be attached to the belly, which provides phenomenal hook-ups on fish that swipe at the bait in open water. Available in a large selection of colors, the River2Sea Opening Bell Buzzbait is unlike any other buzzbait on the market and will get you more fish.
Looking for a search bait that even a finicky gamefish will strike? Look no further than the River2Sea Glassy Vibe. Glassy Vibe is a minnow shaped vibrating bait in the style of classic blade baits, with a twist; Glassy Vibe is a hard plastic body encasing a lead weight. Use in a yo-yo fashion, or on a straight retrieve to fool gamefish on your lake.

Features:
- The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 60 is a new, even smaller version of Larry Dahlberg's classic topwater lure.
- Measures just 2 3/8 inches, weighs 1/4 ounce.
- Propeller-like tail rotates and creates tons of surface commotion at a variety of retrieve speeds.
- Pre-rigged with size 8 black nickel trebles.
- Available in 8 essential topwater colors.
The Whopper Plopper 60 by River2Sea is a scaled-down version of Larry Dahlberg's beloved topwater lure series. At a mere 2 3/8 inches and 1/4 ounce, the Whopper Plopper 60 packs all the same enticing surface action as its larger counterparts in a compact and adorable form.
Not your average topwater lure, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 60 features a propeller-like tail that adds an extra element of fun with its rotating motion and unique "plopping" splashing sounds. This tail is no joke either, built to withstand the rough conditions of rocks, wood, and big freshwater fish.
While the Whopper Plopper 60 is the smallest Whopper Plopper in terms of length, it has a deeper, wider belly that creates more of a bluegill profile like the Whopper Plopper 75. All in all, the Whopper Plopper 60 is a great choice for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass when the topwater bite is strong, but fish are pressured and used to a smaller forage base.

One of the best-value spinning reels in the Daiwa lineup, the Fuego LT delivers a technology stack that punches. Zaion V carbon fiber body that is 3–5% lighter than the previous generation and a significant step up from the nylon-based plastics typically found in reels at this price. The Airdrive Rotor reduces front-end rotational weight for a more balanced, responsive feel on every retrieve, while the solid Airdrive Bail provides superior rigidity and resistance to bending vs. hollow bail designs — the thinner, lighter wire also reduces rotational weight for a smoother, more effortless retrieve.
What truly sets the Fuego LT apart at this price is MagSeal — Daiwa's magnetic oil seal technology that protects the pinion bearing from saltwater, sand, and debris, extending reel longevity in harsh environments. Combined with Tough Digigear precision-cut gears, ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag), and a machined aluminum screw-in handle, the Fuego LT delivers flagship-level features at an entry-level price.

The Swimbait Republic Glideway 176 Glide Bait has been designed to trigger the bite of these smart big fish, thanks to its realistic slow moving action. It has been perfectly balanced to adopt a natural position on the stop, but also to perform perfectly under any speed or type of retrieve: from fast steady to super slow steady, side walk, twitching, heavy sweeps... It's a true freestyler!
From surface to 10-12 feet, the depth of the Glideway depends on the number of Lead Stickers you stick on the lure cavities. The lure it's slow floating by itself, but fill the first cavity and it will turn into suspending. If you fill the second cavity as well it will turn into slow sinking.
The weights on this bait have been adjusted very accurate, so the buoyancy of the Glideway will depend also on the water temperature: the hotter is the water, the faster it will sink, and oppositely. The length and the diameter of your fluorocarbon leader will affect to the sinking ratio as well, the longest and thickest leader you rig, the more it will push the lure towards the bottom.
Tie your line straight to its solid ring. For a better performance make sure you don't add any snap or extra ring between the line and the solid ring.

The Z-Man TRD GobyZ is an ultra-realistic, finesse swimbait designed to mimic small, bottom-dwelling forage like round gobies, sculpins, and darters. Measuring 2.4 inches, it is specifically sized for Ned Rig applications and provides a lifelike alternative to traditional finesse worms.
Key Performance Features
-
10X Tough ElaZtech: Constructed from Z-Man's proprietary superplastic, this bait is extremely durable and soft. It compresses easily for better hooksets while remaining tough enough to last through dozens of strikes.
-
Natural Buoyancy: The ElaZtech material is naturally buoyant, causing the tail to float up at rest. This mimics a small baitfish feeding on the bottom and makes the lure highly visible to predators.
-
Subtle Swimming Action: A rounded paddle tail delivers a fluid, low-frequency vibration. This action is effective at any retrieve speed, from a slow crawl to a steady swim.
-
Anatomical Realism: The body features detailed 3D eyes, fins, and gill plates to fool fish in clear water environments where visual details matter.
