Lake Fork Trophy Lures has introduced an innovative product to the fishing community – the HissyFit. This topwater lure is touted as the first of its kind to mimic the appearance of a baby snake, showcasing a patent-pending design that merges hard and soft plastic components for optimal realism.
"The HissyFit has a clear plastic, cupped bib on the front that causes it to wobble back and forth on top of the water," said a representative from Lake Fork Trophy Lures. This design allows the lure to perform with lifelike action, as its head movement is transferred through the trailer attached at the back.

Originally crafted to complement the new LFT 9” Needle Worm, the HissyFit has proven to be surprisingly versatile. Anglers have discovered that by attaching other soft plastics to the lure, its potential expands significantly. The representative shared, "When we started screwing on some of our other soft-plastics to the back of the HissyFit head, we found out just how versatile it really is!"
Need a different presentation? Anglers can attach the LFT 3.5” Live Magic Shad to the HissyFit to simulate an injured baitfish. Alternatively, switching to a LFT 4.5” Hyper Finesse Worm allows for a more subdued approach. For those looking for an erratic paddle tail action, incorporating a LFT 4” Hyper Worm is an excellent choice. "We’ve even caught fish by screwing on the LFT 5.5” Hyper Whack’n Worm sideways to look like frog legs, and twitching the rod to walk it all the way back to the boat," the representative explained.
Available in four colors—Black, Pearl White, Green/Chartreuse, and Copperhead—the HissyFit aims to entice fish with its realistic movements and appearances.
With a price tag of $16.00 and a single piece included in each package, the HissyFit has quickly garnered attention among fishing enthusiasts. The lore's creators at Lake Fork Trophy Lures are thrilled to expand their lineup of innovative products aimed at enhancing the fishing experience. Founded in 1997, this manufacturer specializes in computerized injection molding for soft plastic lures, serving avid anglers out of Emory, Texas, near the famed Lake Fork.
"We’re so excited to bring it to your tackle box!" the representative enthused, showcasing the company's eagerness to contribute to anglers' success on the water.
Impact and Legacy
As angling enthusiasts gear up for a new fishing season, the introduction of the HissyFit could bring fresh excitement and opportunity for catches. Its unique design and versatility promise a valuable addition to any tackle collection, potentially changing how anglers approach topwater lure fishing. As the popularity of this lure expands, it will be interesting to see how it influences fishing strategies and results in the coming months.
