Im not a huge fan of topwater in general (for no good reason just dont throw em too often, trying more out this year tho), anyway i bought a creeper this year for a certain really small and quiet lake that i fish pretty often, feel like it could be unresistable up there.

My question is, for a creeper, presumably it has to be right side up to actually "creep". So if it lands upside down on a cast, will this be a wasted cast? or if you give it a good jerk will they flip over? Just want to know what to expect now that im looking at it.

I don`t think I`ve ever had a creeper bait land on the water that way,you shouldn`t have any trouble with that happening if it`s tuned correctly.If it does happen maybe the bait rolls right over when you start to reel,I mostly throw them at night so I can`t see how they land on the water I just know they start creeping right away unless it gets caught up in the leader.

I know it happens, but as the bait starts up it will creep right side up. The only way I have had a wasted cast with a creeper, is when I fouled the leader with the front hook or gotten weeds on it.
