Description

Designed for topwater technicians who push the surface bite through windy conditions, the Teckel USA Kicknocker PUP SPEC II Walking Bait is a specialized version of the original Kicknocker PUP that’s rear-weighted for twitch and pause retrieves in rough waters. Built in the same factory, using the same mold and materials as Hideki Maeda’s original design, the PUP SPEC II Walking Bait is slightly smaller than its bigger brother but packs just as much attraction. Acoustically refined with a unique tonal footprint, each lure features two separate rattle chambers that serve different purposes. A small rattle chamber in the head includes small BBs that create a subtle, yet erratic clambering as the bait walks over the surface, and at the rear, a large single knocker creates a steady rhythmic thud that extends casting distance and makes it easier to manipulate. Finished with hyper-realistic 3D eyes and outstanding attention to detail, the Teckel USA Kicknocker PUP SPEC II Walking Bait allows anglers to persevere through challenging windy conditions.

Field Notes

Best for surface fishing when bass are feeding on top, especially in windy conditions where a walking bait can still be controlled. Use a twitch-and-pause retrieve to make it walk side to side and let the internal rattles call fish from a distance.

Pros

  • Rear-weighted for easier long casts
  • Two rattle chambers create a unique sound profile
  • Works well in rough or windy water

Cons

  • Requires some skill to walk properly
  • Less effective when fish are not looking up
