Hunthouse 95mm Walking Pencil Topwater Bass Lure
This 95mm pencil bait is built for classic walk-the-dog fishing on the surface. The slim, weighted body sits flat at rest and snaps side to side with sharp rod twitches, throwing flash and a subtle wake that draws bass up from below. The floating design lets you work it slow over grass flats or quicken the cadence across open water without digging into the surface.
It excels in low light, around bait pods, and any time bass are keyed on shad or fry near the top. Largemouth crush it around docks and points, while smallmouth respond well to a steady walking retrieve over deep flats. A reliable pick for topwater anglers who want consistent, tight side-to-side action.

How to fish it
- Cast past your target area and let the bait settle before starting your retrieve

- Vary your cadence between slow walks and quick bursts to trigger reaction strikes
- Pause briefly after a few walks, especially near cover or when fish are following
