I've only been fishing a few years and a friends dad turned me on to the lucky 13. He had a whole tackle box of lucky 13's(wood and plastic). I remember thinking how stupid that lure looked until he started catching fish after fish with it. Who would have thought a fish would bite what is essentially a red and white bobber with treble hooks hanging off it? I've fished it everyday since then. I've caught LM, SM, whites, pike and even a catfish blew it up topwater at choke. lol I've fished it in TX, MN, GA and SC. Best topwater lure I've ever used.
