Hunthouse 130mm Floating Pencil Popper Topwater Lure
Hunthouse 130mm Floating Pencil Popper Topwater Lure
This 130mm floating pencil bait is built for walk-the-dog action across open water and shoreline flats. The slim profile and weighted tail let it slide side to side with sharp, rhythmic twitches, throwing flash and a subtle popping surface disturbance that draws strikes from a distance. The through-wire construction and treble hooks are made to handle solid runs and hard headshakes without pulling free.
Use it on calm mornings and evenings when bass are keying on baitfish near the surface. It excels around points, grass edges, and open flats where fish can track a lure moving erratically across the top. The floating design lets you pause it dead still between twitches, which is often when the strike happens.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the lure sit until ripples fade.
- Work it with short, sharp rod twitches while reeling in slack to create a walking side-to-side motion.
- Pause every few twitches, especially over points or grass edges, since strikes often come on the pause.
- Speed up the cadence to imitate fleeing baitfish when bass are actively feeding near the surface.
Frequently asked
The 130mm size works well for average to larger largemouth and smallmouth, especially when bigger baitfish are present.
Choose brighter, flashier finishes for clear water and darker or more contrasted patterns for stained water, since surface silhouette matters more than fine detail.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with braided main line and a fluorocarbon leader gives good hookset power and keeps the lure walking cleanly on the surface.
Early morning and evening during calm conditions are ideal, particularly when bass are feeding on baitfish near the surface.
