Kingdom Sinking Pencil Bait - Long Casting Bass Lure
This sinking pencil bait is built for anglers who need distance and a subtle, erratic fall. The slim profile slices through the wind on the cast, then settles into a side to side glide as it sinks, mimicking a dying or fleeing baitfish. The weighted body keeps it stable on long casts and gives it a tight wobble on the retrieve.
Fish it around baitfish schools, open flats, or points where bass are chasing shad. Work it with sharp sweeps of the rod tip and let it pause and fall between twitches. The strong treble hooks hold up when a bass grabs it mid-fall, making this a solid choice for reaction bites in clear to lightly stained water.

How to fish it
- Cast well past the target area to take advantage of the long casting design
- Let the lure sink a few feet on a slack line to trigger the glide action
- Work it back with short, sharp rod sweeps followed by a pause
- Watch the line on the fall since most strikes happen as the bait sinks
Frequently asked
The 135mm is easier to cast on standard bass gear and works well for finesse presentations, while the 160mm pushes more water and suits bigger fish or rougher conditions.
Use lighter, more natural patterns like the white and red shown here in clear water, and switch to darker or more contrasted colors when the water is stained.
A medium heavy casting rod with 30 to 50 pound braid and a fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and enough backbone to work the treble hooks through cover.
It shines during baitfish migrations in fall and spring when bass are actively chasing shad in open water or along points and flats.
