Hunthouse Pencil 100mm Topwater Walking Bait
Hunthouse Pencil 100mm Topwater Walking Bait
This 100mm pencil bait is built for classic walk-the-dog topwater work over largemouth and smallmouth flats, points, and grass edges. The slim profile and balanced weighting let it dart side to side with a tight, rhythmic action that mimics a fleeing baitfish, and the through-wire hook hangers hold up to solid strikes without pulling loose.
Fish it on calm mornings and evenings when bass are keyed on shad or fry near the surface. It casts far for its size, sits level at rest, and responds to short, steady rod twitches without needing a hard cadence. A dependable choice for reaction bites when fish are looking up.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure sit until rings disappear before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp downward twitches of the rod tip to make the bait walk side to side.
- Keep slack in the line between twitches so the pencil can glide freely.
- Pause for a second or two over likely holding spots to trigger a reaction strike.
Frequently asked

A medium to medium-heavy spinning or baitcasting rod with 10 to 17 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon gives good action and hookset power.
