Description

When the school is foaming and birds are diving the Bungy Pencil is the go-to top water lure. This body size is especially effective in imitating sardines, bunker, etc. as bait. With long jerk, the bait goes under the water surface without error and the band-shaped water bubbles generated by the body quickly escape, making it possible to search a wide range. When twitching with walk the dog style, it darts left and right resembling a panicked bait running on the surface of the water.

Field Notes

This is a surface pencil bait designed for feeding frenzies, especially when baitfish are being pushed up and birds are working. Use long jerks or a walk-the-dog retrieve to make it dart side to side and throw surface disturbance over a wide area. It can also be worked just under the surface on longer pulls to imitate fleeing sardines or bunker.

Pros

  • Excellent for surface feeding activity
  • Walk-the-dog action covers water quickly
  • Large profile matches sardines and bunker

Cons

  • Requires some skill to work properly
  • Best when fish are actively feeding near the surface
