Kingdom Sinking Pencil Bait - Long Casting Hard Lure for Bass
Kingdom Sinking Pencil Bait - Long Casting Hard Lure for Bass
This sinking pencil bait is built for anglers who want a slim, fast-sinking hard lure that casts a country mile and still tracks true on the fall. The tight body profile and slow-sink rate let it settle through the water column with a subtle side-to-side wobble, mimicking a dying or fleeing baitfish. Internal weight transfer keeps casts long and accurate even into wind.
Fish it on a twitch-pause retrieve over points, drop-offs, and submerged grass edges where largemouth and smallmouth key on baitfish. The sinking design lets you work depths a floating pencil cannot reach, making it a solid choice for pressured fish or when bass are holding just off the bottom. Available in several sizes to match forage and casting distance needs.

- Work it along creek channels, points, and grass lines where bass ambush baitfish
Frequently asked
The 14.5g or 17.5g models are a good all-around choice for largemouth, offering solid casting distance without overpowering smaller bites. Drop to the 8g or 11g for finesse presentations or clear water.
Choose brighter, higher contrast finishes in stained or murky water so bass can locate the bait, and switch to natural, translucent patterns in clear water to avoid spooking wary fish.
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and sensitivity for detecting strikes on the fall.
It shines in cooler water or during post-frontal conditions when bass sit deeper and want a slower, subtler presentation than a topwater walking bait can offer.
