Quick take
A walk-the-dog topwater with a deeper knocking sound, designed by Kevin VanDam.
The Sexy Dawg Hard Knock is a walk-the-dog topwater bait for bass, built around a rattle chamber that adds a deeper knocking sound to the usual side-to-side glide. A steady twitch of the rod tip swings the nose left and right. At 5/8 ounce it casts well, which suits anglers working open water for surface-feeding bass.

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.
