How to Work the Unfair Lures Mullet 90 Topwater Sub-Surface Twitch

Hopefully this post and video will clear up any confusion as to why this lure is referred to as a topwater sub-surface twitch. The reason it is called a sub-surface twitch is because it's not a true floating topwater. As soon as you start to work it or move it at all, it comes up to the surface and it wakes just under the surface and if you add any action to it then it comes up and works a lot more like a topwater. It will stay underneath and work in that two to six inch range, just under the surface.

The key to this lure is you don't work it a whole lot, the less you do for it, the better it will do for you. Just use a very slow and steady retrieve and mix in a little pull, I wouldn't even call it a twitch. If you start twitching it a lot, trying to walk the dog with it, your leader is going to get tangled around the hooks; that's not the way this lure was designed to be worked. If you try to do too much with it, you're just going to be frustrated because your line is going to keep getting tangled. So again, slow and steady retrieve and mix in a little pull every now and again, just barely moving the rod. If you use this technique, it's going to look just like a mullet waking right under the surface, just popping up to the top. After watching the video, you'll be able to see that it does work a lot more like a topwater than a sub-surface bait.

A pretty cool benefit with this lure is that if a fish rolls on it or misses it, if you pause it for a split second the lure will sink just below the surface and most of the time the fish come back and smack it again! Whereas, with a true topwater that stays up on top and you keep working it, a lot of times they won't come back for it.
