Product description
This topwater pencil is built for classic walk-the-dog fishing, darting side to side across the surface with sharp, rhythmic twitches of the rod tip. The slim, baitfish-shaped body sits flat on the water and throws off flash and vibration that bass key in on, especially when shad or minnows are working the surface.
It comes in multiple sizes to match different forage and conditions, from calm coves to open flats. Use it early morning or low light when largemouth and smallmouth are actively feeding up top, or work it over grass edges and points where fish are keying on baitfish near the surface.
How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover or baitfish activity and let the lure sit still for a few seconds before starting.
- Use short, sharp downward twitches of the rod tip while reeling slowly to create the walking action.
- Vary the cadence between quick snaps and pauses, especially near cover where bass may follow before striking.
- Fish it during low light hours or calm water when surface feeding activity is highest.
Frequently asked
The 90mm or 100mm size works well for most largemouth situations, giving good casting distance and a strong surface disturbance. Drop to the 60mm size for finicky fish or clear water.
Yes. Natural, translucent patterns like this one work best in clear water where bass rely on sight and subtle flash. In stained water, brighter or more solid patterns tend to get noticed faster.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a fast tip and 10 to 17 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon gives good control over the walking action without the lure diving too deep.
Early morning, evening, and overcast days are prime times, especially when bass are actively feeding on baitfish near the surface in spring through fall.
