Overview
The Heddon Moss Boss Spoon is indeed the “boss” when it comes to tempting lunkers into striking from under the thickest moss, weed beds, and brush. Unlike traditional hollow body frogs that are typically used for fishing on top of matted vegetation, the Heddon Moss Boss Spoon is made from a floating hard plastic with a wide flat body shape, which allows it to glide over mats, pads, grass, and brush with very little resistance, making it ideal for any heavy cover situations. Its hard plastic construction along with its skirted tail design also allows anglers to twitch it in open water to create a hopping style action that mimics a small baitfish jumping on the surface.
To ensure a high hook up ratio, the Heddon Moss Boss Spoon features a stout hook that is fixed to the rear of the bait, which allows for better hook setting potential than collapsible hollow body frogs with hooks formed around the body. Offered in multiple colors, the Heddon Moss Boss Spoon shows the fish something different and will help you fish through the heaviest of cover more effectively.

Comments: The greatest topwater spoon ever ! Fish this on a medium action rod with 15 pound mono. Cast the Moss Boss into any type of grass or pad cover. Twitch continuous the rod tip six or more inches when retrieving the line. This action should look like a rocking chair on the surface. Rocking back and fourth attract bass to this lure for vicious strikes. Time proven and fish approved !

Comments: It doesn't look like much, and one might even say it looks antiquated. But somehow the thing draws big bites. I discovered it when my co-angler was getting bit 4 to 1 vs. my modern hollow frogs, toads, and buzzbaits. I've since picked some up, and when I remember to pull it out, it always surprises me.

Comments: I have been using the Moss Boss for over 30 years.Two of my biggest bass (approx.8 lbs. in Minnesota) have come on it.I lost one estimated to be 11 lbs. on a small lake in Illinois on one (electroshocking had spotted this fish in the same area, though I found this out after I had lost it.Helpful hint.Do NOT make long casts with mono when fishing a Boss.)This is a great bait and not just a substitute for frogs.Many days, if they won't come up on a frog, then will on a Boss, and the reverse.You might consider two modifications.First, glue two rattles tight to the hook on either side.If you are fishing really slow, the fish can find it better.Second, VERY CAREFULLY bend the hook outward about 10 degrees.That helps with hook-ups but, since the hook is rigid, you can snap the bait if you put too much pressure on it.Finally, when casting a Boss, feather the line near the end of the cast.That swings the hook upward soon that it will not snag when it lands.I promise you if you practice this, you will have no problems with the open hook and likely get a better hooking percentage than with a frog

Comments:I have one of these and at first glance they dont look very effective. But I have caught some BIG bass on them in the summer months when the vegetation is so thick that nothing else will work. Ill throw it in the middle of the thickest stuff and pause it in the small holes. Probably best to watch a video on how to work the bait, its takes a bit of practice but well worth it.
