With the classic Walk-the-Dog motion, the lure pivots and darts in a controlled side-to-side path that draws attention from wary speckled trout. Designed for easy use, you simply cast, pump the rod, and reel to keep the lure moving just below the surface. The weighted tail helps maintain a natural position, even when the lure rests, so it stays ready to entice a strike at the moment you start your retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey design elements that stand up to fresh-water fishing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWalk-the-Dog action for an energetic surface presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighted tail that keeps the lure oriented forward and lively\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRealistic 3D holographic eyes that catch the light and mimic baitfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRugged construction built to handle castoffs, snags, and repeated hooksets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuper sharp VMC black nickel hooks for dependable hookups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColor and optics play a role too.
