Product description
The Hunthouse Manic is a slim sinking pencil built to walk with a tight, rhythmic side-to-side kick. Its weighted tail gets it moving on the pause and keeps it darting just under the surface or through the upper water column, mimicking a fleeing baitfish. The through-wired body and corrosion-resistant hardware hold up to repeated strikes from largemouth and smallmouth alike.
Available in three sizes, it covers everything from finesse walk-the-dog presentations around docks and grass edges to bigger profiles for open-water schooling bass. Fish it steady for a classic walking cadence or work it with sharp twitches and pauses when bass are keyed on suspended baitfish. It also holds up fine in brackish and saltwater for anglers who split time between bass and inshore species.
How to fish it
- Cast past cover or open water and let the pencil settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp rod twitches with slack line to get a steady walk-the-dog side-to-side action.
- Add pauses between twitch sequences, especially over deeper water where bass may be suspended.
- Work the smaller sizes tight to docks, grass lines, and rock banks, and the larger sizes over open water for schooling fish.
Frequently asked
The 75mm and 99mm sizes are the most versatile for largemouth and smallmouth in typical lake and river conditions. Save the 155mm for bigger open-water bass or when you need more casting distance.
In clear water, natural or translucent patterns tend to draw more strikes. In stained or murky water, brighter tops like chartreuse or red and orange combos help bass locate the bait.
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or baitcasting rod with 10 to 17 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon gives good control for walking the bait without over-powering the action.
It shines during low light periods at dawn and dusk, and any time bass are actively feeding on baitfish near the surface or just below it, from spring through fall.
