Product description
This pencil bait is built for classic walk-the-dog topwater fishing on largemouth and smallmouth bass. The slim, hard-bodied profile sits flush in the surface film and darts side to side with sharp rod twitches, throwing off the same side-to-side flash and disturbance as a fleeing baitfish. Available in 65mm/5.5g and 100mm/14.5g sizes, it covers everything from calm pond mornings to open reservoir points.
The floating body holds its position between twitches so you can work it as slow or as fast as the bite calls for. Front and rear treble hooks are positioned to catch fish that strike short or slap at the bait without fully committing. It shines during low-light hours, over grass flats, and around schooling bass busting shad on top.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sit until rings disappear before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches with slack line to make the bait walk side to side.
- Vary cadence between steady walking and pauses, especially when fish are following but not committing.
- Set the hook with a firm sideways sweep once you feel weight, not on the visual strike alone.
Frequently asked
The 65mm/5.5g size is easier to walk on calm ponds and for finesse topwater days, while the 100mm/14.5g casts farther and suits bigger fish or windier water on reservoirs.
Braided line with a fluorocarbon leader gives better walking action and hookups than straight monofilament, since it has less stretch and floats well for topwater work.
Lighter, translucent patterns like white or shad work well in clear water, while darker or bolder colors help fish spot the bait in stained or low-light conditions.
Topwater pencil baits produce best in warmer months during early morning, evening, or overcast low-light periods when bass are actively feeding near the surface.
