I'm a stickbait fanatic, and looking for some goodies for the spawn and this summer.

Ev_Het reply :

My vote: LC Sammy...But I would say a Super Spook jr. is very close

K_Mac reply :

I am in the Spook camp (great lures), but have had no experience with the others.

i dont have a walking style but i use a pop-r for walking the dog

BucketmouthAngler13 reply :

Aw, you left the best one out. The Excailber Super Spook Jr.

Its cheap, got great detail, and is amazingly easy to walk the dog with. With a hook upgrade, it is probaly the best spook out there.

Yeah, that's why I said simply 'spook.' That term basically encompasses all Heddon or Excalibur spooks.

guest reply :

"spook" doesn't really tell you anything. There are too many baits out there with spook in the name.

The super spook jr. is my favorite. I have Sammy's, yo zuri's, zara spooks, and even a megabass. My ssJR>out fishes em all.

I've been a big Zara Spook man for years. Over the last year or so, I've started to try out other walk the dog lures, because I've had great success with the Spook. I guess I've kind of been stuck in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" groove.

BassFishingMachine reply :

Hate to change the topic, but I never tryed the spook type lures. I always thought they were for SM bass, not LM bass. Are they also a good lure for LM bass? They seem kinda big though, will the smaller bass hit them? Theres not many huge bass in the lakes I fish in NJ, and there aren't any SM bass what so ever.

LC Sammy, Spooks, , and Spit-N-Image

I caught my first nice bass on Bull Shoals on this one.

justfishin reply :

Zara Super Spook, in clear or bone color.

castaway reply :

I like the Super Spook jr baits, they catch both largemouth and smallmouth bass very well for me.The bass pro shop slim dog is a super bait for the money.It flat out catches alot of fish,but the finish doesn't hold up very well on them.The biggest topwater bass, I have ever caught came on a little owner cultiva zip n ziggy lure.As far as I know they are discontinued , but they are one of the easiest walk the dog lures to use.The spittin image has been a great smallmouth bass bait for me, but the front hook likes to catch on the line alot fouling the baits action. I quit using them for that reason. One thing to remember, the smaller the split ring you can put on your topwater baits, the better, too big a split ring will bind up against the split ring eyes that are molded into the bait. A smaller split ring gives the hooks a wider radius of movement and the baits seem to work easier for me.I also put a lucky craft split ring for the line tie. Ivan

spook all the way

barely legal vixen!!! compact size but with three supersharp trebles and a sweet paint job...

WCCT reply :

Sammy is awesome I also bought a couple of the SPRO walking baits and they are very nice too.

GAMEOVER reply :

Lucky Craft Sammy 100 series, this is the Lucky Craft bait that made me really like their stuff. I was a hardcore Heddon Torpedo and Zara Spook user but after using the Sammy I dont use my Spooks as much anymore. The Torpedos I still use, and the bigger ones you can walk the dog with.

JT Bagwell reply :

My favorite dog to walk is my Rottweiler named Jax. lol

My favorite lure to walk is the 5" Yamamoto Senko. I am

serious, you cast the Senko and work it just like you would

a Sammy or a Spook. The bait will slowly sink on the pause.

After you practice enough, you can actually get the Senko to

pop out of the water a few inches as if it were a baitfish. The

Yamamoto Senko is a very deadly topwater bait.

I fish Senkos on PowerPro line because it doesn't stretch

and any movement you make with your rod is transferred

straight to the bait. With a lot of lines, your movements are

absorbed by the line it self.

Yes, the walking the dog lures are great for largemouth bass.

LC GunFish for me.

RoLo reply :

I share avid's sentiment on this one, I own several LC Sammies, etc, etc but my favorite walker was and still is

the Heddon Super Spook Jr.

Very recently though I've discovered another topwater walker that I believe may "finally" usurp the super spook jr.

My intent is to report fully on this lure (soft plastic & weedless), but first I want to pit it against the other walkers

during Florida's topwater bite in April and May (I can't wait).

I am glad to see someone else does this. I use the Yum Dingers, because they dont sink as quickly. HAHA, the first time my partner saw me working a soft stick like that, he thought I was crazy.

And, you are right. Those little suckers will stick their heads straight up and out of the water.
