Hart Surface Vision 115F Topwater115mm - 22g Floating

Overview

Overview

The Hart Surface Vision 115F is a floating topwater bass lure engineered for fast, responsive walk-the-dog action across the water's surface. Measuring 115mm and weighing 22g, it uses an internal mobile spherical counterweight system to improve casting distance while retaining a near-vertical resting position in the water.

Hart specifically confirms the lure's floating topwater credentials, countering some retailer listings that mistakenly describe it as a sinking stickbait with subsurface action. The Surface Vision 115F stays on top of the water throughout the retrieve, producing short, tight walking movements combined with a sliding action that anglers can vary by changing the rhythm of their rod twitches.

The lure is available in four colour finishes - 037, 079, 265 and G26 - all sharing the same 115mm body, 22g weight and floating walk-the-dog action, giving anglers a choice of finish while keeping consistent lure behaviour.

Perfect For

For UK saltwater lure anglers, the Surface Vision 115F is particularly well suited to shallow coastal water where European sea bass are actively hunting baitfish near the surface. It's a strong option around shallow rocky reefs, rocky gullies, headlands and coastal bays, where its surface-only presentation helps avoid some of the underwater obstructions that would snag deeper-diving lures.

It also works well in sheltered bays with a slower walking action and occasional pauses, estuary mouths across tidal edges, and open coastal marks where the moving-weight casting system helps cover more water. Anglers fishing locations such as Trearddur Bay, Rhosneigr or the Menai Strait on Anglesey may find similar environments suited to this style of surface fishing.

Technical Insight

The internal mobile spherical counterweight system is central to the Surface Vision's casting performance, shifting weight within the body to help the lure travel further and more accurately - useful for shore anglers searching open bays, rocky shorelines or tidal channels. Because the lure floats almost vertically at rest, it responds immediately to short rod twitches rather than requiring a long retrieve to build action.

This combination of quick-response walking action and surface buoyancy means anglers can work the lure with brief pauses, letting it sit on the surface rather than sinking into the water column. The exposed hooks remain effective for hook-ups but can still catch floating weed, so the lure performs best across clear lanes and open water rather than dense weed beds.
