Not sure of the brand but many companies making them, Bomber and Stingo to name a few. If you go into any of our sponsor tackle stores they will hook you up.

2 things to make sure of..... You want to be sure it floats and is fairly heavy so you can cast it a pretty good distance. You buy something light and it will not cast as far....

Also, I like using spining instead of coventional reels for this sort of fishing since spining reels tend to cast lighter objects further and no backlashes. I also think they are easier to work in the motion you need to have to make these lures pop. It's basically keeping your tip high and sweeping from 12 to 9 position. Best way I can decribe is just like you are snagging bunker but with your rod tip up and not as aggressive of a sweep from 12-9.

Take a few close casts so you can watch the action of the lure to get your motion dialed in... You want the water to pop out in front of the lure.
