Description

A Clique Baits original exclusive color way on one of the BEST walking pencil style blanks on the market! This pattern is a sure bet to be effective on just about any body of water. It's vibrant and detailed design showcases all of the prominent feautures of most common bluegill and will fool even the most weary of bass who are rather reluctant to blow up on the standard "usual" go-to patterns they see day in and day out. Don't get "caught" without one! Our Pencil sets a standard for all walking baits. The reinforced, thin wall construction aids the creating more internal volume to the body cavity. The consequence is excellent durability, high buoyancy and a further acoustic range. At first glance, the Pencil looks round and linear like other walking baits but closer examination reveals the body shape is oval with flat areas giving it superior aero dynamics for its size. The intelligently designed ballast system not only gives the lure superior casting range, it provides additional services. It has a dual weight configuration. One weight is fixed and the other is positioned to move on a track. This gives the lure a superior tacking action. “Tacking” is the side to sidetracking cadence also known as “walking the dog”. The impact of the weights also creates an amplified dual tone. This high pitch can be heard from extreme distances giving the lure more calling power. The innovative Pencil 110 provides an angler with the ability to reach his target in a single cast, immediately initiate walking-action, and “call” the fish from greater distances. TECHNICAL DETAILS: CASTING PERFORMANCEThe design of the body form and positioning of the tail hook-eye, reduces the air resistance allowing a stable flight posture. This results in greater casting distance without being affected by wind or casting styles. ACTION PERFORMANCEWith its swing design, it stages a brisk and compact “dog-walking” action.SPLASH & DIVING ACTION By retrieving the line slag stronger than usual when the lure reaches the highest point during the “dog-walking”, the lure splashes the water forward while diving. TWO KNOCK RATTLE SYSTEMBy the moving weight hitting the secured hard spherical weight in the tail section, it creates a high pitch clicking sound. This appeals to the bass in various water qualities from muddy to clear.

Field Notes

Use as a walking topwater bait and work it with a side-to-side 'walk the dog' cadence. It is especially effective around bass feeding on bluegill or when fish are looking up in calm to lightly rippled water. The loud dual-tone and long-casting design help cover water and draw strikes from a distance.

Pros

  • Excellent walking action
  • High buoyancy for easy surface presentation
  • Long-casting design with internal weight system
  • Bluegill pattern is effective on pressured bass

Cons

  • Requires steady rod control to walk properly
  • Topwater effectiveness drops when bass are not feeding near the surface
