Honey Trap 95mm Sinking Pencil Lure for Bass and Pike
Honey Trap 95mm Sinking Pencil Lure for Bass and Pike
The Honey Trap is a 95mm sinking pencil built for anglers who want a subtle, erratic baitfish profile that stays down in the water column instead of walking on top. Its slim body and weighted tail let it glide and dart with sharp side-to-side motion on a twitch-pause retrieve, mimicking a dying or fleeing shad. The holographic scale finish and 3D eyes throw flash on every turn, which helps draw strikes in stained water or low light.
This is a solid choice for largemouth working points, drop-offs, and grass edges, or smallmouth patrolling deeper structure in rivers and lakes. Fish it slow around cover for reaction bites, or work it faster over open water when bass are chasing baitfish schools. The sinking design also makes it easier to cast into wind than a topwater walker.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the lure sink briefly before starting your retrieve.
- Use short rod twitches with slack line to make the pencil dart and glide side to side.
- Pause after every two or three twitches, especially near cover, to let bass react and strike.
- Vary retrieve speed based on water clarity, slower in stained water, faster when bass are actively feeding on baitfish.
Frequently asked
It is a sinking pencil, so it stays below the surface and sinks slowly on the pause instead of sitting on top like a topwater walker.
At 95mm and 24g it matches well with average to larger baitfish, making it effective for both largemouth and smallmouth bass in the same size range most anglers target.
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or casting rod with 10 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or braided line gives good control over the twitch-pause action.
Natural shad and baitfish patterns with holographic scales work well in clear water, while brighter or higher-contrast finishes help visibility in stained or low-light conditions.
