Favorite walking bait

Featured Replies

 Like most anglers I love topwaters.  My favorite type by far is a walking bait.   I've had a number of them over the years including some of high priced Japanese models.   I really like the Sammy from LC, but recently have returned to the original zara spook.  It has a great shape, walks the dog like it invented it (oh, it did) and doesn't cost a fortune.   the paint jobs may not be as exquisite as say a megabass but I think those elaborate paint jobs are more for catching fisherman than fish.

What cha tink?

Either a spook, or a bait I feel is overlooked which is the rapala skitter walk

I've been using the zara spook and a yamamoto tate pencil a lot this year.  I got the yamamoto because it was on sale 2 for $10 at DSG and has a really good look to it.  I have plenty of spooks in by tackle box and tried them the same day and had equal results.  Both great baits at a reasonable price.  

I really like Megabass dog x in sexy shad...

My personal favorite is a Excalibur (now Heddon) spit n image.  I have a few that I let my buddy practice painting on that are sweet.

walks super easy, great sound, and a little different shape that a typical walker.

I have this one duo realis I found in a tree that works really well. It has a sort of half sphere on the lip that makes it walk easier apparently and I've caught tons of fish on it

Definitely the easiest to walk out of any I have used. If you get it just right you can get it to walk sub-surface as well. 

I have a Skitter Walk I need to try.

The Spook has done really well for me, and I find the River2Sea Spittin' Image to walk very nicely as well.

Heddon spook jr in bone is my number 1 lure in my top water box. 

Zara spooks are my favorite in calm clear water because of no rattles, I add split rings and triple grip hooks to help hold the fish. In rough water I  go to the gunfish, r2s rover, showerblow, or a super spook 

Super spook jr. has been my favorite for a couple of years now, Really like the chug'n spook and the H2O TWS baits.

Strike king sexy dawg 

I mostly throw the sk sexy dawg or Sammy. Both pretty easy to use

spook,big or little it don't matter……still the best.
