Kingdom GT Hellfire Floating Pencil Topwater Lure
The Hellfire is a slim floating pencil bait built for a tight, fast walk-the-dog action on the surface. The weighted tail keeps it tracking straight through short, snappy rod twitches, throwing a splashy V-wake that draws strikes from a distance. Available in three sizes, it covers everything from open-water largemouth to bigger smallmouth holding near baitfish schools.
Its slender profile and long casting distance make it a strong choice for working large flats, points, and open bays where bass are keying on shad or herring near the surface. The floating pencil design lets you pause it dead still between twitches, giving fish a hesitation window that often triggers the strike.

How to fish it
- Cast well past the target area and let the pencil sit still until the rings settle.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches with slack line to build a steady walk-the-dog cadence.
- Vary the rhythm with occasional pauses, bass often strike right as the bait stalls.
- Work it over points, flats, and open water where baitfish are schooling near the surface.
Frequently asked
The 160mm/40g is the most versatile for largemouth and smallmouth, casting easily on standard baitcasting gear. The larger 180mm and 200mm sizes suit bigger fish or when you need extra casting distance.
A medium-heavy to heavy fast-action rod with 15-20lb monofilament or 30-50lb braid gives the best control for working the walk-the-dog action and handling long casts.
Use natural baitfish patterns in clear water and brighter or more contrasted finishes in stained or low-light conditions to help fish locate the bait.
Early morning, evening, and overcast days are prime, especially when bass are actively feeding on baitfish near the surface in open water.
