JACKALL POMPADOUR jr TOPWATER CRAWLER

The JACKALL Pompadour Jr is a compact topwater crawler built to create a surprisingly large surface presence for its size. Designed with metal side wings, a jointed rear body, and an internal rattle system, this lure produces a loud waddling crawl that pushes water, throws sound, and calls fish up from shallow cover.

Unlike standard topwater lures that rely only on a popping or walking action, the Pompadour Jr creates a steady plopping surface crawl that imitates a struggling baitfish or small creature moving across the surface. Its compact profile makes it easier to cast around docks, weed edges, laydowns, riprap, and shallow banks while still producing enough commotion to trigger aggressive reaction strikes.

The Pompadour Jr is especially effective during early morning, evening, overcast conditions, and night fishing when bass are actively feeding near the surface. It is a strong choice for anglers targeting both largemouth and smallmouth bass in ponds, lakes, rivers, and shallow reservoirs across North America.

Whether you work it with a slow steady retrieve or a stop-and-go presentation, the JACKALL Pompadour Jr delivers a loud, fish-calling crawler action that stands out when you need a topwater lure with more noise, more vibration, and more surface disturbance.
