Built for the Strike Zone

A lifelike silhouette, subtle wing movement and a profile bass rarely see from conventional topwater lures.

Made for Heavy Cover

The weedless body reaches shade pockets, pads and shoreline cover where big bass wait to ambush.

Backed by Real Anglers

Independent reviews, customer praise and catches on camera—not promises invented in an ad room.

Match the hatch with the Bird patterns bass recognize in your waters. Choose a 2-pack or 3-pack to cover more conditions, share with a fishing buddy, and always have the right Bird ready.
