It features a central rotating fin that creates a loud plopping and jittering action, and a weighted flat tail that ensures it lands upright on every cast. The bait comes with #2 treble hooks and is constructed from durable plastic, though some users report the rotating fin can break upon impact with hard objects like sticks or rocks.","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-googan-squad-revolver-topwater-bait-natural-green","brand":"Googan Squad","condition":"new","product_category":"Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Fishing > Fishing Tackle > Fishing Baits & Lures > Artificial Fishing Plugs","dimensions":"4.5 in","item_weight_unit":"lb","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0805/9325/6728/files/new-googan-squad-revolver-topwater-bait-natural-green-2316175.jpg?v=1757025870","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1781249927519-0","url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0805/9325/6728/files/new-googan-squad-revolver-topwater-bait-natural-green-2316175.jpg?v=1757025870","width":679,"height":298,"alt_text":"New Googan Squad Revolver Topwater Bait (Natural Green) product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"mood":["clean","fresh"],"style":["product photography","modern"],"colors":[{"color":"olive green","context":"dorsal area of body"},{"color":"silver","context":"side and lower body finish"},{"color":"yellow","context":"belly accent and ventral fin tip"},{"color":"chrome","context":"treble hooks and split rings"},{"color":"white","context":"background"}],"labels":["jointed segmented body","glossy plastic body","molded fish eye","metal front eye ring","ventral fin/keel projection","two treble hooks","split rings attaching hooks","metallic chrome hooks","olive green dorsal gradient","silver lateral body finish","yellow belly accent","streamlined fish silhouette","studio white background","soft studio lighting"],"flat_lay":false,"confidence":"high","description":"Jointed, fish-shaped fishing lure with a glossy olive green to silver gradient plastic body, a small ventral fin, molded eye, and two metallic treble hooks attached by split rings on a white studio background.","season_occasion":["fishing","outdoor sport"],"complementary_products":[]},"variant_ids":["50538187227416"]}],"price":"13.39 USD","sale_price":"8 USD","availability":"in_stock","group_id":"9840139993368","listing_has_variations":"false","variants":[{"sku":"GOOGANSQUAD-810029334730-NEWOVERSTOCK","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-googan-squad-revolver-topwater-bait-natural-green?variant=50538187227416","image":{"id":"img-variant-50538187227416","url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0805/9325/6728/files/new-googan-squad-revolver-topwater-bait-natural-green-2316175.jpg?v=1757025870","width":679,"height":298,"alt_text":"New Googan Squad Revolver Topwater Bait (Natural Green) variant image","position":1,"variant_ids":["50538187227416"]},"price":{"value":13.39,"currency":"USD"},"title":"New Googan Squad Revolver Topwater Bait (natural Green)","option1":"Default","sale_price":{"value":8,"currency":"USD"},"variant_id":"50538187227416","availability":{"status":"in_stock","available":true}}],"item_group_title":"New Googan Squad Revolver Topwater Bait (Natural Green)","size_system":"US","gender":"unisex","shipping":"Free shipping on orders over $75 across the USA.
