TSUYOKI Patchinco 125 Walk-the-Dog Topwater Lure
TSUYOKI Patchinco 125 Walk-the-Dog Topwater Lure
The TSUYOKI Patchinco 125 is a slim, side-to-side walking bait built for reading the surface when bass are keyed up shallow. Its pencil-style profile and balanced weighting give it a tight, rhythmic walk with minimal rod effort, so you can work it slow over grass flats or snap it faster across open water. The reflective sides throw flash on every kick, drawing strikes from fish that are watching the surface rather than chasing deep.
At 125mm and 17.5g it casts well on medium spinning or baitcast gear and holds a true walking cadence without rolling over. Three trebles keep hookups solid on both explosive blowups and subtle sipping strikes. It shines early morning and low light periods, around points, flats, and shad-schooling activity where largemouth and smallmouth are feeding up top.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sit until rings disappear before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp downward rod twitches with slack line to build a steady walking cadence.
- Slow the retrieat over grass edges and points, then speed it up when fish are chasing baitfish on top.
- Pause briefly after a blowup or missed strike since bass often circle back for a second look.
Frequently asked
Yes, this size matches typical shad and baitfish forage for both species and casts easily on standard bass gear.
Lighter, flash-heavy patterns like this one work well in clear to lightly stained water since fish can key in on the reflective sides.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with 12-17lb monofilament or fluorocarbon helps maintain the walking action without sinking the bait.
Early morning, evening, and overcast days are prime times, especially when bass are actively feeding on shad near the surface.
