Realistic look and animation

This lure combines a vivid 3D finish with a believable profile to resemble a small forage fish. During a retrieve, you can expect a balanced surface presence and a clean topwater wake. The combination of appearance and action aims to hold attention and invite bites from curious fish.

• Realistic look with a convincing 3D finish
• Responsive action that aligns with a variety of retrieves
• Topknock design creates surface pops and subtle surface knocks

Inshore versatility

Built to perform inshore and near-structure environments, this pencil excels when fished along shorelines, channel edges, and pockets where fish hunt baitfish. Anglers can adjust retrieve pace, use pauses, or pop the lure to vary the sound and motion through the water.

• Ideal for inshore water with a range of visibility
• Effective near structure such as docks, mangroves, and sandbars
• Works with a spectrum of retrieves from steady to stop-and-go

Practical use tips

Start with a relaxed, medium retrieve and introduce short pauses to let the lure suspend momentarily. Try quick pops to push a wake toward the surface, or longer draws to pull a wider arc. Pair with a light rod and steady reel for precise control.
