This lure needs no introduction to those who know what it is and what it is capable of. There's even been days where in the right hands it has out-fished live bunker. The SWE on Thames Street in the early 2000's was the first time we laid eyes on this and it was a well-kept secret for almost a decade until word of its effectiveness on striped bass slowly spread.
At the time we knew the deadliness of the Jumpin' Minnow and wanted something bigger and happened to spot this online. We ordered some and were REALLY excited when we opened the box, only to be even more excited the first time we took it out on the water.
Much like other topwaters in this style it'll catch almost anything. We've even caught big bluefin tuna on them!
While these lures do come with solid hardware in the form of VMC 9626PS treble hooks, we recommend considering an even further upgrade to larger inline hooks. Inline hooks have the ability of getting improved leverage with a better hook placement on this bait as well as the possibility of attracting and hooking something enormous.
Owner Zo-Wire's in 7/0 are out favorite for this size Doc.
The 7" model weighs 2 3/4oz

The Doc surprised me. It is a plain looking lure but! It stops right there. I was hooking up cast after cast stripers of course. All other anglers were not. I started getting looks. They started asking what you got there. I told them and they were shocked. All I can say the doc has great action and casts a mile. Highly recommended
Believe the hype! The Doc made a believer out of me. Stripers harass this lure, they don't just try to sip it in. They wallop it!!! Too cool. Get one and see for yourself.
The hype is all true! I read about this lure in On the Water and looked all over to find one. SWE came through. Unbelievable action in the water - and crazy reaction by the fish!!! I will be getting the 9 inch Doc soon - but am a little afraid of what might try and tackle that!!! :)
A great lure. Working it like walking a dog is the way to go. The constant shift in direction draws hits. Moving it fast or slow work equally well
