Which Walk-The-Dog Lure Is Easiest To Walk

Featured Replies

I'm thinking about the Bomber Badonk a Donk.  Anyone use it w/ success?  How easy does it walk?  What about the LC Sammy?

I think the easiest walking bait is a Zara Spook. Just swap out the hooks.

Owner Zip N Ziggy is very easy to walk and a excellent lure.

I agree. The spook Jr. Is the easiest of my baits to walk.

I haven't caught anything with the Badonk A Donk, but it walks like it's on a treadmill.

Agree. Don't forget to change the hooks. Bone color kills it

rapala skitterwalk is the easiest one for me but really it isn't that hard after a little practice.

I think the Duo Realis Pencil 110 is really easy to walk.  You can't go wrong with a Super Spook Jr though.

Everyone has a diff. opinion which walks easiest...but have to agree spook jr. best to start with...i use kvd's now cause i like the way it spits water

Who is doing the walking? ;)

I have only used the spooks but they were easy to walk when I started learning

I don't know. But I'm not paying $10-20 for something I can do easily for $7-8. Spook, Spook Jr & Chug'n Spook Jr, baby!

Spook has one that spits water too. Chug'n Spook and Chug'n Spook, Jr. I have the junior in bullfrog pattern. It's a big fish bait.

Duo Realis Pencil gets my vote.

Rapala Skitterwalk and Rebel Jumpin' Minnow are the easiest to walk for me.

The old Excalibur Spit'n Image is my favorite; I have to buy them on the auction site to find them though.

The spook is easy to walk but the rapala skitterwalk is as good a walker and I can really bomb that thing

Rapala xrap walk if you can still find it or spook.

That said I still prefer the sammy, even though it doesnt really walk in the traditional sense. The erratic way it spits, glides, walks and some times even pops under the surface better mimics the organic way a bait fish moves IMO. A true confidence bait. They just get bit better FOR ME. It's one of the more expensive baits that's actually worth it.

Paycheck the one and repoman. That being said spooks work great also. I just get bit more on (the one).

The plain old spook walks as easy as anything IMO. Never owned any high end baits like a Vixen or Repoman though so can't compare it to those. The bigger spooks and sammy style baits are easier to walk for sure though. 

Gunfish and Lunker Punkers for me. That said, once you really get a feel for walk the dog baits they all are easy to work

I must have had a defective Punker, that was the hardest bait to walk I've ever owned I think other than a tiny bait like a Zara Pooch. Once it was walking it wasn't bad, but getting it to start was terrible. It was one of the injected baits though, not one of the wooden ones so maybe that had something to do with it. 

Heddon Zara Spook or Strike King Sexy Dawg are good choices

I've got a couple of the Spooks in different sizes and I think my KVD Sexy Dawg walks a bit easier for me. I loved it and just lost it on my last trip. Now I'll have to replace it. If I caught a 100 fish on that one lure I wouldn't be surprised.

I wouldn't be worried about which one walks best...not that difficult to walk one. Now which one catches giant bass the best? Now that's a good question! Zara spook has stood the test of time in both categories.
