Product description
The Red Devil is a 75mm pencil bait built for classic walk-the-dog fishing. Its slim, weighted body sits low in the water and snaps side to side with sharp rod twitches, throwing a tight zig-zag wake that draws bass up from cover. The through-wire construction and dual treble hooks are built to handle solid hookups from largemouth and smallmouth alike.
This bait shines on calm to lightly rippled water over grass flats, points, and around docks where bass are keying on baitfish near the surface. Work it early morning or dusk for reaction strikes, or slow the cadence over deeper structure when fish are less aggressive. It is a straightforward, effective addition to any topwater rotation.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sit until the ripples settle.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches while reeling slack to walk the bait side to side.
- Pause every few twitches near cover or drop-offs to trigger a following bass into striking.
- Slow the cadence in low light or cooler water, and speed it up when bass are actively feeding on baitfish.
Frequently asked
The 75mm size is a versatile all-around profile that works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass in typical freshwater conditions.
Choose brighter, higher-contrast patterns for stained water so bass can track the bait, and more natural, translucent finishes for clear water where fish get a longer look.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with a moderate tip pairs well, using 10-15 lb monofilament or braid with a fluorocarbon leader to keep the bait riding high and walking cleanly.
Early morning and evening are prime times, especially in warmer months when bass are actively feeding near the surface, though it can also produce during overcast conditions throughout the day.
