TSUYOKI 100mm Walk-the-Dog Topwater Pencil Lure
TSUYOKI 100mm Walk-the-Dog Topwater Pencil Lure
This 100mm, 11g pencil bait is built for classic walk-the-dog topwater fishing. Its slim, torpedo-shaped body sits flat on the surface and kicks side to side with sharp rod twitches, throwing flash and a subtle wake that draws bass up from cover. The weighted tail helps it cast smooth and stay balanced through the retrieve.
It shines in calm to slightly rippled water around grass lines, laydowns, and points where bass are keying on baitfish near the surface. Twin treble hooks provide solid hookup potential on explosive topwater strikes, making it a strong choice for early morning or evening largemouth and smallmouth bass sessions.

How to fish it
- Cast past likely cover and let the lure sit until rings settle.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches with slack line to create the walk-the-dog action.
- Pause briefly between twitch sequences to let the bait hang and trigger reaction strikes.
- Work the retrieve steadily back to the boat or bank, watching for surface blowups near cover.
Frequently asked
The 100mm size works well for average largemouth and smallmouth bass and casts easily on standard spinning or baitcasting gear.
A medium-light to medium spinning or baitcasting rod with 10-15 lb braid or monofilament gives good control for walking the bait.
Use natural, translucent finishes in clear water and darker or more contrasted patterns in stained or murky water for better visibility.
Early morning, evening, or overcast days with calm to light surface chop are prime times for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.
