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 topwater pencil bait designed for surface feeding activity, especially when baitfish are being chased and fish are busting on top. Use long twitches or a walk-the-dog retrieve to make it dart side to side and imitate fleeing sardines or bunker. It can also be worked with longer jerks to dip just under the surface and leave a bubble trail.

Pros

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

Cons

  • Requires active retrieve and some skill to work well
  • Less effective when fish are holding deep or inactive
