Description

Built to imitate large, vulnerable prey that’s dying on the surface, the JB Customs Sly Dog 8" Walking Bait features an incredibly stable design that walks easily and strongly pushes water with a slow long glide or rapid twitching retrieve. Hand-painted with foiled finishes to maximize realism, each highly realistic forage pattern is coated with JB Custom’s multi-layer epoxy process for exceptional durability against thousands of hours of torment from fish and anglers. Backed by three razor-sharp 2/0 VMC treble hooks to ensure your success with trophy-sized bass, the rear treble is dressed with feathers and tinsel strands that match the corresponding color pattern for added realism. Finished with hand-painted glass eyes, the JB Customs Sly Dog 8" Walking Bait mimics virtually any baitfish in your water and delivers smooth-starting walking action that slides easily with just a pump of the reel handle.

Field Notes

Use this as a big surface bait when bass are feeding on larger forage or reacting to commotion on top. The stable walking action and long glide make it a good choice for covering water with a walk-the-dog retrieve or a faster twitching cadence over open water and around bait.

Pros

  • Very realistic hand-painted finish with foiled patterns
  • Stable walking action with strong water push
  • Large profile is good for trophy bass
  • Durable epoxy coating

Cons

  • Large size and 4 oz weight require heavier tackle
  • Best suited to anglers comfortable with walking baits
