LURESFACTORY - BUFO LET'S GO V.1 4.5cm 11.5g HARDBODY LURE TOPWATER

Luresfactory Bufo Let's Go V.1 4.5cm 11.5g Hardbody Topwater

The Bufo Let's Go V.1 is a handmade hard-body surface frog, 4.5cm long and 11.5g — the heaviest of the compact 4.5cm bodies. That mass is the whole point: it casts into headwinds and across open reservoir arms that lighter frogs cannot reach, and it sits low enough in the surface film to push a real wake on a slow wind rather than skating over the top. The compact frog-inspired body is built for both swimming and jumping action, with flexible skirt strands that keep moving through a pause and a strong double-hook layout for fish that hit a surface bait hard. Each lure is hand finished in bright colours across a seven-pattern run. It suits anglers fishing big open water, wind-exposed banks and river systems where casting distance decides how much water gets covered.

How To Fish It

Long casts on open water — Use the weight to reach mid-lake weed edges, far banks and windward shorelines, then work it the whole way back. This is what it does that the lighter frogs in the range cannot.
Slow swimming retrieve — Wind steadily and slowly so the body swims and leaves a wake. The extra mass keeps it tracking at speeds where a light frog would lose its action.
Twitch and pause — Short twitches followed by a two- to three-second stop. The skirt strands keep working while the lure is still, and that pause draws the strike.
Jumping cadence over cover — Sharper downward taps hop it across matted weed and lily pads and from pocket to pocket.
Pause a beat before setting — With a heavy hard body, striking at the splash pulls it clear. Keep winding through the blow-up, wait for the rod to load with the fish's weight, then sweep sideways.

Target Species By Region

Southeast Asia — Giant snakehead (toman) on large reservoirs, ex-mining lakes and drowned timber where long casts matter; striped snakehead (haruan) in wide canals and drains; peacock bass in lily pockets; hampala barb (sebarau) on weed lines.
North America — Largemouth bass over pads, hydrilla and matted duckweed on big lakes; bowfin and chain pickerel in southern backwaters; northern snakehead in tidal rivers.
Japan & East Asia — Snakehead (raigyo) on matted cover in the traditional raigyo style, catfish (namazu) at dusk, and bass over shallow reservoir weed.
Australia, Middle East & Europe — Saratoga and barramundi (siakap) in lily-covered billabongs and weedy creek arms; pike over weed beds in European lakes and canals.
