Description

Strike King’s battle-tested topwater weapon, the Sexy Dawg Hard Knock, is a 4.5-inch premium saltwater lure that “walks” side-to-side when retrieved for explosive topwater action. The Sexy Dawg features a loud and unmistakable “knock” that attracts fish and draws strikes. Strike King’s saltwater-grade Mustad Triple-Grip treble hooks are heavy duty to withstand the punishment of hard-fighting fish. The hooks, swivels and line eye are built with durable, corrosion-resistant steel to meet the pressure of years of saltwater fishing, and the Sexy Dawg Hard Knock paint job stands up to the constant abuse of fishing near heavy rock walls, sharp oyster beds and hard-charging fish

Field Notes

Use this as a walking topwater lure over calm to lightly rippled water when fish are feeding near the surface. The loud knock and side-to-side walk make it a good choice around rock walls, oyster beds, and other saltwater cover where you want to call fish up from below.

Pros

  • Loud internal knock helps draw attention
  • Walk-the-dog action for explosive surface strikes
  • Saltwater-grade hardware for corrosion resistance

Cons

  • Topwater effectiveness drops in rough water or heavy wind
  • Treble hooks and hardware may be overkill for some freshwater applications
