Quick take
A 5-inch walk-the-dog topwater with extra-large eyes and rattle call for trophy inshore species.
The Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil is a five-inch floating topwater pencil bait for anglers working saltwater shorelines and flats. A walk-the-dog retrieve swings its body side to side across the surface while a single cadence rattle sounds. Three treble hooks on a through-wire body suit striped bass, redfish and snook, and at about one ounce it is built for long casts from the surf or a flat.
Best for
- Striped bass and large redfish on grass flats
- Tarpon and snook around dock and drop-off edges
- Early morning and evening topwater feeding windows
Skip if
- You fish small streams; this is designed for saltwater
- You prefer quiet lures without rattles
Strengths
- Extra-large eyes and rattle attract fish from distance
- Through-wire construction handles trophy-size fish
- Perfectly weighted for long-distance casting

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
