Hunthouse Floating Pencil Topwater Lure with Rear Propeller 225mm
Hunthouse Floating Pencil Topwater Lure with Rear Propeller 225mm
This floating pencil is built for working open water and current seams where big bass and other predators cruise near the surface. The slim profile walks side to side with sharp, tight kicks, while the rear propeller adds extra flash and surface commotion on every twitch. It sits flat and rides high, letting you work it slow over grass flats or rip it faster across open water when fish are actively feeding.
At 225mm and roughly 40g, this is a big-water lure suited to largemouth in open reservoirs, river mouths, and low-light topwater bites where a large surface profile pulls strikes from a distance. The propeller tail keeps working even on pauses, holding fish attention longer than a plain pencil bait. Rig it on a stout topwater rod with 30-50lb braid for solid hooksets on the strong trebles.

How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover or feeding activity and let the lure sit until rings disappear before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp rod twitches with slack line to make the pencil walk and the propeller spin and flash.
- Vary retrieve speed, slow and rhythmic in calm water, faster and choppier when bass are actively chasing bait on top.
- Pause after any strike attempt or missed blowup, bass often circle back for a second try on a stationary target.
Frequently asked
At 225mm it runs larger than standard bass pencils and works best in open water or reservoirs holding bigger largemouth, rather than tight cover for average-size fish.
A medium-heavy to heavy topwater rod with 30-50lb braided line gives the castability and hook-setting power this size lure needs.
Yes, natural silver and blue patterns like this one work well in clear water, while brighter or darker colors suit stained water or low light.
