Favorite Pencil/cigar Top Water Bait? 2025
DocNsanE reply :
I have a bit of money left over on my gift card and am thinking of picking up another walk the dog bait. I was wondering what everyone's favorites were? Spook? Sammy? Megabass?
Any specific colors?
Thanks!

I love spooks. Would like to try the duo pencil though.

Super Spook Jr in Bone color if I could only have one.

Sammy and Gunfish. If I have to choose one, I'll take the Gunfish.

I am in love with the River2sea Rover. Walks amazing and has a little popper nose which spits water.

Are you fishing the bigger size or smaller one? I have some of both but the smaller one doesn't want to talk very well. Thinking I might take the dressed treble off the back and see if that helps. The big ones walk nice, haven't gotten on a good bite with them yet though.

I just got the bigger one. It made me want to try the smaller one though. I find the smaller style walk the dogs a little more difficult in general though.

I've heard good things about the Rover. Personally I like the Savage Gear Top Prey 100 but I'm pretty sure they are discontinuedOn 5/22/2015 at 8:09 PM, Felix77 said:I am in love with the River2sea Rover. Walks amazing and has a little popper nose which spits water.

Any of the Mirrolure walkers work fine, and they're built like tanks.

Do you have any "one knocker" style ones?? Different sounds are key for me while fishing those style baits. White, clear or chrome are good colors to use.

Ich habe ein, aber das Spook ist mein favorite.
bassinyea reply :
Gunfish for sure. 95 and 115 sizes.
DocNsanE reply :
Excellent thanks everyone for your input -- looks like I'll be ordering the Gunfish 115. Any favorite colors?
This bait looks like a hybrid popper/walker. Do you fish it like you would a spook/sammy?

I like MS MJ Herring, Aurora Black, Ghost Minnow, Chartreuse Shad and American Shad, just to name a few. Pick the color you like the best and go for it, they all work great. Yes, it is a walking bait, fish it like a spook.

Aurora black and chartreuse shad are some of lucky crafts best colors. Buddy of mine has had the paint eaten off his aurora black gunfish.

Jtrout reply :
I've had pretty good luck with the super spook jr lately like blue mentioned but my clear one has got more fish then the bone color.
EvanT123 reply :
I like all the ones I've tried. Gunfish, Sammy, spook jr Zara puppy, s rover but for 5-6 bucks the academy knock offs are hard to beat.
iceintheveins reply :
Super Spook Jr. in Florida bass!
BeardedBassGuy reply :
I've got. My personal best on super spook Jr in the sexy shad type color. Always seems to do good

Personally when I think of a pencil popper, I'm thinking saltwater. The technique is a little different, the pencil popper pushes water using a constant retrieve, unlike the way I bass fish with pauses and or walking the dog. Pencil popper works well for jacks and bluefish but not as good for snook or stripers, now I'm using something more akin to bass type top water.
The lure I could walk, pop or push water like a pencil popper is the Mirrorlure Poppa Dog. The lure has some size to it, I believe it's 7/8 oz, strong hooks and very durable. My second favorite is a 1 oz Zoom chug bug, both lures have been very good producers for me.
dead end canal reply :
^^^ That Popa Dog is very versatile. I wish they made a smaller version as well.

The LC Sammy in Ghost Minnow and the Jackal Mikey.
