Kingdom Z-Dog 3D Hologram Topwater Walking Pencil
Kingdom Z-Dog 3D Hologram Topwater Walking Pencil
The Z-Dog is a floating pencil bait built for walk-the-dog topwater work. The 3D hologram finish throws flash with every twitch, and the weighted tail section gives it a tight side-to-side walk that holds a track even in light chop. Internal rattles and the through-wire hook hangers add casting weight for long, accurate throws to points, flats, and shoreline structure.
Available in four sizes, it covers everything from finesse walking for pressured smallmouth to full-size dog-walking for largemouth around grass edges and around baitfish schools. Treble hooks front and back handle explosive topwater strikes. It is a solid choice for dawn and dusk sessions when bass are keyed on the surface.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the ring settle before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches paired with steady reeling to build a walking rhythm.
- Slow the cadence and add pauses over points, laydowns, or bait schools to trigger reaction strikes.
- Speed up the walk on calm, low-light mornings when bass are actively feeding on the surface.
Frequently asked
The 70mm/11.5g or 90mm/19g sizes cast well and match typical largemouth forage. Drop to the 45mm or 55mm for smallmouth or when bass are keyed on smaller baitfish.
Brighter, higher-contrast patterns hold up better in stained water, while more natural, translucent finishes work well in clear conditions where the hologram flash does the work.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a moderate tip helps you work the walk-the-dog action without pulling the bait off track. Braided line with a fluorocarbon leader improves castability and keeps the lure floating naturally.
Early morning and evening low-light periods are prime, especially when bass are feeding on baitfish near the surface, but it also produces during overcast midday conditions.
