Product description
This needle nose pencil is built for long casts and a tight, rhythmic walk-the-dog action on the surface. The slim profile and weighted tail let it sail well beyond typical topwater range, then sit level and dart side to side with steady rod twitches. It stays in the strike zone longer than bulkier walking baits, which matters when bass are keying on wandering baitfish near the surface.
Available in three lengths from 160mm to 205mm, it covers open water flats, points, and grass edges where largemouth and smallmouth chase shad or herring up top. The floating body allows pauses without sinking out of the strike zone, and the finish mimics a slender baitfish silhouette that reads well in clear to moderately stained water.
How to fish it
- Cast well beyond the target zone to use the bait's long-casting design to full advantage.
- Work the rod tip in short, rhythmic downward twitches to produce a tight walk-the-dog motion.
- Pause between twitch sequences, especially near cover or baitfish activity, to let the bait sit and draw a reaction strike.
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find the cadence that triggers the most bites that day.
Frequently asked
The 160mm is easiest to control for topwater beginners and covers most largemouth and smallmouth situations. Step up to 180mm or 205mm when you need extra casting distance or are targeting larger fish in open water.
Lighter, more reflective finishes like the silver and gold pattern shown work well in clear to lightly stained water where bass rely on sight to find baitfish. In stained water, darker or higher-contrast patterns tend to stand out better.
A medium to medium-heavy casting rod with a fast tip helps impart the walk-the-dog action, paired with 12 to 17 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon depending on cover density.
Early morning and evening during warmer months are prime times, when bass are actively feeding on baitfish near the surface. It also works well over grass flats and points during low-light periods.
