Quick take
A 3.75-inch topwater walking bait designed by Kevin VanDam that casts far and walks smoothly side to side.
This Chartreuse Sexy Shad version of the KVD Sexy Dawg Jr is a 3.75-inch topwater walking bait that weighs 3/8 oz and floats on the surface. Its walk-the-dog action comes from rhythmic rod-tip twitches that swing the nose side to side, which suits bass anglers who want surface strikes. It fits anglers working topwater lures for largemouth bass around shallow cover.

Strengths
