Hunthouse Dragonfly Winged Pencil Topwater Lure 80mm 6.5g
Hunthouse Dragonfly Winged Pencil Topwater Lure 80mm 6.5g
The Dragonfly Crawler Pencil is a 80mm, 6.5g winged topwater bait built to imitate a struggling baitfish or skittering insect on the surface. Its side fins catch water on every twitch, producing a wide crawling wobble and subtle splash without the need for a hard walk-the-dog cadence. The floating body sits flush in the surface film, making it easy to work slow.
This is a finesse topwater option for largemouth and smallmouth holding near calm banks, grass edges, and flats. It excels in low light and light chop, when a subtler surface disturbance draws more strikes than a loud popper. Twitch-and-pause retrieves let the wings do the work while the fish commits.

How to fish it
- Cast past your target area and let the lure sit until the rings clear before starting the retrieve.
- Use short rod twitches with slack line to make the wings kick and the body crawl side to side.
- Pause 1-2 seconds between twitch series, especially near cover or after a fish swirls without connecting.
- Work it slow along grass lines, laydowns, and calm flats during dawn, dusk, or overcast conditions.
Frequently asked
The 80mm size suits typical largemouth and smallmouth in the 1 to 4 pound range, though larger fish will still strike a well-worked surface bait.
Choose natural, translucent patterns like the shad tone shown for clear water, and switch to darker or higher contrast colors when the water has some color.
A medium-light to medium spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon gives good action without overpowering the wings.
It performs best in warmer months during calm mornings and evenings when bass are feeding near the surface and a subtle presentation outperforms louder baits.
