Heddon Lucky 13

The Heddon Lucky 13 has been around longer than I have been alive. Still, many fisherman will have this in their tackle boxes for any day of bass fishing where they may need a top water lure. The typical retrieval process is a popping retrieval. The front of the lure with its indented nose will cause the Lucky 13 lure to dive down into the water and cause water to splash up in front.

The Lucky 13 is a good lure for water that is less than about six feet deep. Its top water action will keep you out of the logs, but may allow your bait to be taken underwater since it does have a diving action to it. You can have it dive behind logs, then wait a few seconds allowing it to return the surface. Even though it has two treble hooks, it is still great at avoiding snags in areas with a lot of logs or stumps above and below the water.

You are not limited to one type of retrieval with this lure. If you feel that the diving method is not working, you can keep this lure on the top of the water by lifting your rod a bit. This may allow you to have the lure dart back and forth, also known as walking the dog, or pop across the top of the water.

The Heddon Lucky 13 comes in two sizes. There is the standard Lucky 13 which is a 3 ¾” long sleek lure and weighing in at 5/8 ounces. Then you have a Baby Lucky 13. The Baby Lucky 13 offers a few more colors, is 2 5/8” long, and weighs 3/8 ounce. The lure in both sizes has a very bulky appearance which will allow it to disperse a lot of water and make a huge splash at both sizes. The Lucky 13 (regardless of size) seems to be one of the more popular plugging lures on the market today.

Heddon Crazy Crawler

The Heddon Crazy Crawler has been around for years. Many people will remember fishing with them as a kid because they are so easy to fish with. Unlike plastic worms or other various types of lures, this is one of those that you simply cast and pull it in. However, many people still use other techniques for better results.

While, in theory, you should be able to just reel it in, it is recommended to do a popping method with it. The advice from other regular users of the Heddon Crazy Crawler was to let it sit for a few seconds before reeling. The bass seem to bite it just as it stops or is sitting in the water after you pop it or reel it a couple of feet at a time.

This lure is good if you just have to find a way to it to pull those cold water bass to the surface. Not many lures will do that, but the Heddon Crazy Crawler is notorious for having a crazy action to it. Obviously, it gets its name from the crazy motion it has. Some people feel as though the motion itself does not resemble anything in particular, but for some reason the bass seem to like it.

You are not limited to just bass with this lure. Almost anything that will actively hit topwater lures will find this lure appealing. It is relatively small so you can expect to catch crappie and large perch with it as well. Many fisherman claim that they have had a lot of luck catching pike with this lure too. Although some people get a chuckle when seeing someone tie this lure on, they will not be laughing long when you start pulling in the lunkers! They'll be asking where they can score the Heddon Crazy Crawler!
