Smithwick Devils Horse

[airborne_angler]

Watched a Youtube video the other day,where the guy said he would wear the fish out on a devils horse. I know this is an older bait,can anyone tell me what about a Devils Horse is so darn enticing to the fish.

[iceintheveins]

It's a subtle double prop bait. It works really great in calm water on cloudy days or water with a teeny bit of chop.

I don't know why the fish like these, but it is the first topwater i have ever used. When I was 5, now I am 30 and it is still my favorite topwater bait.

That and if you can still find them, a Cordell 2 prop Crazy Shad, are my fav. prop baits.

[eyedabassman]

You can stll buy them. Bass Pro, Gander has them for sure!

[bocabasser]

a must bait for fishing florida.

I never had a D/H, but had a Shakespeare wooden copy back in the 70's. It worked okay until we got a new neighbor a couple of houses down that used to live in KY., and he turned me on to a stubby little dual prop called a Skipjack. (anyone know if they are still available?) I rarely use topwaters anymore, and when i do they don't have props.

they just work, flat out.....

i still use my devils horse,

and it still produces................................dont mess with the classics ;D

I still have a few from 25 or so years ago. Caught a lot of bass on them. I reversed the pitch on one of the props so they would rotate in opposite directions (made a bigger splash that way)

[DINK WHISPERER]

Don't know why but the fish love em! I don't use or like them at all! But they catch fish consistently.

If you like the Devil Horse then give Bagley's Twin Spin Bang-O-Lure a try.  I like the props on this lure better...they seem to drive the fish crazy down here.

[iceintheveins]

I love the crazy shad from Cotton Cordell. Best little prop there is.

[Lipped M]

Great bait,like chucking these at dusk and through the night.

While I seldom use the old DH in calm water, when there's a wicked chop and I want to fish topwater it's the first lure I'll tie on.  I work it fairly fast with sharp jerks to make the water fly.  Works great that way.

I've done well in rainy conditions & slightly choppy water with the Shimano Triple Impact, a unique lure that's fun to fish because you can slow wake it too. I just picked up 2 of Brian's Crankbaits Prop Bee 2, other than a couple of cast to see what it looks like in the water I haven't had a chance to fish it yet. If you go to his website check out the Cricket finishes which are very detailed paint jobs, I chose one of them in the Shellcracker color.

Just found this one at a yard sale for a cool .25 cents ;D

Hope to test it out very soon!
