Kingdom Basstaor Topwater Pencil Lure 110mm
The Basstaor 009 is a 110mm floating pencil bait built for classic walk-the-dog fishing. Its slim, weighted body sits flat on the surface and snaps into a tight side-to-side darting action with sharp downward rod twitches, throwing out a wake that draws bass up from cover.
The through-wire construction and dual treble hooks hold up to hard strikes from largemouth and smallmouth alike. It shines early and late in the day, over grass flats, around docks, and along shoreline breaks where bass are actively feeding near the surface.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone, whether a dock, grass edge, or open flat, and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp downward twitches of the rod tip while reeling in slack to create a steady walk-the-dog rhythm.
- Vary the cadence between quick snaps and pauses, since bass often strike right after the lure stalls.
- Fish it early morning or evening in calm conditions when bass are feeding near the surface, and switch to a slower cadence in cooler water.
Frequently asked
The 110mm size is a solid all-around choice for both largemouth and smallmouth bass, matching typical baitfish sizes found in most lakes and rivers.
Brighter, more reflective patterns like this red and gold finish work well in stained or slightly murky water since they stand out better against limited visibility.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a fast tip paired with 12 to 17 lb monofilament or braid gives good control over the walking action and enough backbone for hooksets.
Topwater pencils like this one perform best in spring through fall when water temperatures are warm enough for bass to actively chase surface prey, especially during calm low-light periods.
