Size comparison of Gunfish 115 (top) and 95.
The Gunfish is unique in shape and different in action compared to other walking baits like the Sammy. The Gunfish has a more spitty, slashy, frantic action. It skates its body side to side rather than roll or waddle like other walking baits. Many anglers tend to work the Gunfish faster and more frantically than they would a Sammy. With its flat, dished face, the Gunfish throws a splash like a popper, and walks the dog like a Sammy. So it combines features of both a popper and a walking bait into one. However, it is first and foremost a walking bait, so the best action is to keep it walking, not pop-and-pause it. Just keep it walking, and it will splash and spit from its mouth as it sashays side-to-side. Get a good, consistent cadence going, and don't stop the action, especially not when a fish is slashing at it. Just keep it coming like nothing's happening, until the striking fish finally hooks itself.
The Gunfish throws more surface commotion than a Sammy, so the Gunfish may be at its very best when there's a little wind smear or surface chop rather than a slick calm day. However, give it a try any time, and let the fish tell you what they want.
Both the Gunfish 115 and 95 are top-selling Gunfish models. The 95 and 115 are about equal in sales, and they both work well.
One more thing to keep in mind is that fish see poppers and walking baits every day on every body of water. What fish don't see all the time is the Gunfish with its little different action. Because it isn't so commonly used, you'll often see Lucky Craft's top tour pros opt for the Gunfish whenever there's a topwater bite. Reason is, even at the top tour level, fish haven't really seen the Gunfish before and most pros (except the LC pros) aren't going to be throwing it. In many places, the Gunfish is still a fresh new lure that fish have not seen much, and there's something to be said for that.
