Why Not Try Something Different?
Black is a surprisingly versatile and effective color for fishing lures, offering several distinct advantages in various conditions:
1. High Contrast Silhouette:
- Against Bright Skies: When viewed from below by a fish looking up towards the bright surface, a black lure creates a strong, easily discernible silhouette. This contrast makes it stand out against the glare and sunlight, making it an easy target to spot.
-
In Clear Water: Even in clear water, a black lure can provide a defined profile that predatory fish can track and identify.
2. Mimicking Natural Prey:
- Nighttime Forage: Many aquatic creatures that fish feed on are dark or have dark profiles, especially during low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or nighttime. Black lures can effectively imitate these nocturnal prey items.
- Dark Baitfish: Some species of baitfish, crustaceans, and insects have dark coloration. A black lure can closely resemble these natural food sources.
3. Effectiveness in Low Light and Murky Water:
- Low Visibility: While counterintuitive, black can be surprisingly effective in low-light conditions or stained/murky water. The strong silhouette it creates can be easier for fish to locate than lighter or more translucent colors that might blend into the dim surroundings.
- Triggering Reaction Strikes: In murky water where visibility is limited, fish often rely on other senses like vibration and the sudden appearance of a contrasting object. A black lure moving through the water can provide that stark visual contrast that triggers a reaction strike.
4. Versatility and Mystery:
- Neutrality: Black can sometimes act as a neutral color that doesn't necessarily imitate one specific baitfish but simply presents a visible target.
- Intrigue: For reasons not fully understood, black lures can sometimes provoke strikes when other colors fail. It might present an element of mystery or appear as an unusual food source.
5. Subtle Presentation:
- Less Flash: Unlike bright or metallic lures, black absorbs light and offers a more subtle presentation. This can be advantageous in highly pressured waters where fish may be wary of flashy lures.
Specific Benefits for Topwater Lures (like the TX10):
- Strong Overhead Silhouette: When a fish is looking up at a topwater lure, a black one will stand out boldly against the sky.
- Night Fishing: Black is a go-to color for topwater fishing in the dark.
-
Drawing Attention in Choppy Water: The defined shape can be easier for fish to track in turbulent surface conditions.
Key Features:
- Rotating Tumbling Action: The hollow-body design with integrated propeller produces lifelike, erratic movement.
- Cup-Face Propeller Blade: Creates a powerful splash and pop, doubling as a popper lure for added surface noise.
- Built-In Stainless Steel Ball Bearings: Generates a fish-attracting rattle and vibration to draw in predators.
- Dual-Size Sound Bearings: Covers a wide frequency range, triggering strikes from different species.
- Inline Stainless Steel Wire Frame: Durable and versatile—fish it fast or slow depending on conditions.
- Always on Top: The floating body means you’re fishing topwater from the moment it lands.
Whether you're targeting bass, pike, or other aggressive feeders, the TX-10 Bone brings the action. It’s not just a lure—it’s a surface strike machine.

Another Strategic Advantage of the TX10 Topwater Lure's Hook Hinge Connection
One of the key design that sets the TX10 Topwater Lure apart and contributes significantly to its fish-landing success is its hook hinge connection. This seemingly small detail plays a crucial role in reducing a hooked fish's ability to throw the lure, ultimately leading to more landed catches and fewer frustrating lost fish.
Understanding the Leverage Problem:
When a fish is hooked on a traditional, fixed hook setup, its thrashing and head shakes create significant leverage against the single point of connection. The fish essentially uses the weight and length of the lure body as a lever to try and dislodge the hook. This leverage can be particularly effective during jumps and aggressive head shakes, often resulting in the hook tearing free.
The TX10's Hook Hinge Solution:
The TX10's hook hinge connection strategically addresses this leverage issue. Instead of the hook being rigidly fixed to the lure body, it is attached via a hinged mechanism. This hinge allows the hook to move and pivot independently of the main body of the lure once a fish is hooked.
