Susky River Rat Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 In musky fishing these are very popular. Basically think of a top water spook like bait but, runs 1-5 foot down. In musky fishing they are glide baits. Rapala makes the x rap sun walk. I have not seen any other bait companies with one on the bass side. Does anyone else use these for bass? Is there others available on the market then this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User TOXIC Posted September 17, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 17, 2023 IMHO every single big swimbait is a natural walk the dog subsurface bait. It’s the normal swimming action of a baitfish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User WRB Posted September 17, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 17, 2023 Count Down Rapala Most “Jerk” baits will walk. R2Sea S Waver 120 &168 and ICMB* Tom * underwater dog walking lure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRocket Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 While I don't think this is a bait you were talking about, I have been using a plastic "poop" bait that's designed to walk sub surface. It's called the OSP Spinnuts. I'm using the smallest size because I'm fishing UL. But I've been having fun fishing it. There's a very small learning curve to figure out the appropriate rod movements to get the bait to walk, but once you do it's effective. Pretty versatile too. You can walk it near the bottom or further up the water column. But most of all, it feels a bit new and fun when I fish it. Also..I have no idea why these work so well..but they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Munkin Posted September 18, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2023 Rapala makes called the subwalk or something like that? Allen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User casts_by_fly Posted September 18, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2023 Also don’t forget about soft jerkbaits. That’s my favorite way to fish them. Less than a foot under the water and fished fast. After checking a bunch this summer I’ve settled on the dshad per @TOXIC’s recco as the best for what I want. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 18, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2023 As Tom mentioned jerk baits fit the pattern. Try a lc pointer 128. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted September 18, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 18, 2023 the Berkely Surge shad will swim just under the surface, but can pick up speed and it will dive to what I guess is around 6-8 Inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the keitech shad impact for twitchy, walking retrieves. It also rolls nicely on a slow retrieve and on the fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susky River Rat Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 this is a glide bait in the Musky world. A walk the dog sub surface that shimmies on the fall. I was looking for something similar. The sub-walk by rapala is the closest I know of. I was wonder f if anyone knew of anything else. @Darth-Baiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASS302 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Google "twitch bait". There are many saltwater versions that might work. Mirrolure make some smaller twitch baits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User FishTank Posted September 20, 2023 Super User Share Posted September 20, 2023 Megabass Karashi. It's small but deadly. I have caught everything in my lakes on this bait.... catfish, bass, walleye, drum, carp, bluegill, crappie, wipers and especially smallmouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
