TSUYOKI Rerise Pencil Stickbait - Sinking Walking Topwater Lure
TSUYOKI Rerise Pencil Stickbait - Sinking Walking Topwater Lure
The TSUYOKI Rerise is a sinking pencil stickbait built for a tight, side-to-side walk-the-dog action. Its weighted body casts far and settles just under the surface between twitches, giving bass a wounded baitfish look that holds up in wind or current where floating walkers struggle. The metallic flake pattern throws flash on the roll, drawing strikes from fish keying on shad or herring.
This lure earns its keep around main lake points, open flats, and grass edges where largemouth and smallmouth chase baitfish near the surface. Because it sinks, you can also let it settle on the pause for suspended fish that won't commit to a topwater bait riding higher in the water column. Twin trebles keep hookup rates solid on the take.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp rod twitches with slack line to walk the bait side to side.
- Pause between twitch sequences and let it sink briefly, this is when most strikes happen.
- Work it along points, grass edges, and open flats where baitfish are schooling near the surface.
Frequently asked
It sinks slowly, which lets you work it right at the surface or let it settle a foot or two down between twitches.
Brighter, higher-contrast patterns like this pink and white flash color work well in stained or low-light water, while more natural baitfish colors suit clear conditions.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with braided main line and a fluorocarbon leader gives you the control needed for consistent walk-the-dog action.
It shines during low light periods and warmer months when bass are actively chasing baitfish near the surface, especially over points and open flats.
