Why Fishus Espetit and Ubuntu Are Trusted by Southern California Fishing Guide Fred Klinshaw
Why the Fishus Espetit and Ubuntu Never Leave My Boat
The Fishus Espetit is one of the most effective topwater fishing lures I have ever used. As a full-time professional fishing guide with more than 10 years of experience guiding anglers on Southern California's most productive fisheries, including Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake, Lake Casitas, and Lake Piru, I have had the opportunity to fish with thousands of anglers ranging from complete beginners to seasoned professionals.
Over the years, very few lures have consistently produced results like the Fishus Espetit.
This lure has helped my clients catch their first fish, their biggest fish, and often the most fish during a day on the water. Whether targeting Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, or other aggressive predators, the Espetit continues to deliver season after season.
One of the things I appreciate most is that every Espetit comes ready to fish right out of the package. The walk-the-dog action is effortless, the finish is durable, and the premium hooks are strong enough to handle hard-fighting fish, including trophy Striped Bass and quality largemouth bass commonly found throughout California lakes.
When fish become less aggressive and require a slower presentation, I rely heavily on the Fishus Ubuntu. This unique hybrid popper creates a subtle surface disturbance that consistently triggers strikes from both Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass. It has become one of my confidence baits whenever conditions get tough.
Both the Espetit and Ubuntu are available in multiple sizes and proven fish-catching colors, making them versatile options for a wide range of fishing situations. Whether you're fishing reservoirs, lakes, shoreline structure, or open-water schools of feeding bass, these lures deserve a permanent place in your tackle box.
What impresses me most is their consistency. Spring, summer, fall, or winter, these baits continue to produce. They are among the very few lures that remain on the deck of my boat year-round because I know they will get bites when it matters most.
If you're looking for proven topwater lures for Striped Bass fishing, Largemouth Bass fishing, or Smallmouth Bass fishing in California, the Fishus Espetit and Ubuntu should never be overlooked. They have earned a permanent place in my arsenal and continue to produce fish for my clients year after year.
“After guiding anglers for more than a decade on Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake, Lake Casitas, and Lake Piru, very few lures stay on my boat for years. The Espetit and Ubuntu have earned that spot.”
