Hi Everybody!

I have some subwalk, but i don't know how to retrieve for bass. It doesn' t give me fish. With very slow retrieve I had actions from littel northerns, but thats's all.

How do you use it?

I use a gliding jerking motion from 12-6.  After using it alot and realizing how it glides i can glide it anywhere. I really like casting it and parallel to docks and gliding in and out of the dock. Awesome lure. Not many people like it but i love it. 

It's supposed to walk-the-dog under the surface...

Rapala recommends that you tie directly onto the lure.  That means not using a snap of any kind. 

I'm still playing with the retrieve myself so I'm no expert but you might try twitching it on a little bit of slack line.  That seems to improve the walk-the-dog aspect.

I tried to use it like the topwater WTD. But I always use snap. It might be the problem. I use braided line, with snap, and "not a knot" And the lure doesn't walk perfectly, and the basses doesn't come.

When these first came out, I bought 4 of them.  No positive results.  They got moved to the assorted lures storage box, bottom of the storage bin.  I never used a snap, but I always tied on using some form of loop knot, supposedly to give them a free swinging action.

This is the knot I've always used for top waters, spooks, pop-r, sammy, etc.  Are you supposed to tie a tight knot to the sub walk?  That would change the action quite a bit.

I'll put this on my list of things to try next year.  Is there a set of circumstances that would make the sub walk a better choice than a sammy or a pop r?  It is totally possible that I didn't give the sub walk a fair trial.  Something to think about.
