Product description
This floating pencil bait is built for classic walk-the-dog fishing on top. The slim, weighted body sits flat at rest and darts side to side with sharp rod twitches, throwing flash and a subtle rattle that draws bass up from cover. The clear, glitter-flecked finish mimics baitfish moving through clear or lightly stained water without spooking wary fish.
At 95mm and 18g it casts well on spinning or light baitcasting gear and holds a tight walking cadence at slow to moderate retrieve speeds. It is a strong choice for calm mornings and evenings over grass flats, points, and open water where largemouth and smallmouth are keyed on baitfish near the surface.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the bait sit still until rings fade.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches with slack line to make the bait walk side to side.
- Vary cadence, pausing over cover or breaks to trigger reaction strikes.
- Fish early morning or low-light evenings when bass are actively feeding near the surface.
Frequently asked
The 95mm, 18g size works well for average to larger largemouth and smallmouth bass, matching common baitfish sizes in most lakes and rivers.
The clear glitter finish is best in clear to lightly stained water where flash and profile draw strikes. In muddier water, a bait with more contrast will show up better.
A 6'6" to 7' medium action spinning or baitcasting rod with 10 to 15 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon gives good action and castability without weighing down the walk.
Early morning, evening, and overcast days are prime times, especially when bass are actively chasing baitfish near the surface over flats, points, or grass edges.
