Kingdom Cruise Pencil Sinking Walking Topwater Lure
Kingdom Cruise Pencil Sinking Walking Topwater Lure
The Kingdom Cruise Pencil is a slow-sinking walking bait built for open-water bass that key on baitfish cruising the surface. Its slim, weighted body sits just under the film and responds to short rod twitches with a tight side-to-side cruise, the kind of subtle wounded-shad motion that draws reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth holding near points, flats, and open basins.
Available in 120mm and 135mm sizes, it casts far and holds a straight track even in wind, making it a solid choice for covering big water fast. The luminous finish option adds a visible glow for low-light and early morning bites, while the dressed trebles are ready to fish out of the box.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the pencil settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp rod twitches with slack line to walk the bait side to side across the surface.
- Slow the cadence over points, flats, and basin edges where bass are likely staging on baitfish.
- Pause briefly after a few walks, especially near cover or a color change in the water, to trigger a following fish.
Frequently asked
The 120mm/57g size is easier to control on standard bass tackle and works well for most largemouth and smallmouth situations. The larger 135mm/87.5g version casts farther and suits bigger fish in open water.
Lighter, more reflective finishes like white or the luminous pattern show up better in stained water or low light, while more natural or translucent colors work well in clear water.
A medium-heavy to heavy fast-action rod with 15 to 20 lb monofilament or 30 to 50 lb braid gives you the control needed to walk this bait and handle its weight on long casts.
It performs well in open water when bass are chasing baitfish near the surface, typically spring through fall, and is effective for both largemouth and smallmouth.
