Smithwick Devil’s Horse 4.5″ Topwater Prop Bait

The Smithwick Devil’s Horse is a legendary topwater prop bait that has been a staple in bass anglers’ tackle boxes for generations. Featuring dual propellers mounted front and rear, this classic surface lure generates intense flash, vibration, and water commotion that triggers explosive strikes from largemouth and smallmouth bass alike. Its balanced wooden body and surface‑churning action imitate fleeing baitfish on the water’s surface — making the Devil’s Horse especially effective during early morning, low‑light periods, and when fish are actively feeding topwater. It’s available in several proven colors and weights (e.g., 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz variants), so you can match conditions from calm clear water to wind‑blown surfaces.
