Quick take
A 4-inch walk-the-dog topwater lure with patented 3D prism finish and back-and-forth swimming action.
This 4-inch Prism Ghost Shad from the Yo-Zuri 3DB Pencil line is a floating topwater lure for bass, perch and walleye anglers. An internal rattle gives it a cadence sound, and its prism finish adds flash in the water. It weighs about 0.56 ounces and lies flat on the surface when paused.
Best for
- Bass in lakes and ponds
- Walleye and perch on the surface
- Low-light morning and evening topwater sessions
Skip if
- You need subtle retrieves; this lure is aggressive
- You fish thick cover; the slender body snags easily
Strengths
- One-knock rattle produces subtle sound while walking
- 3D prism finish creates flashing that resembles a fleeing baitfish
- Rear weight aids long casting even in wind
Trade-offs
- Walk-the-dog action requires constant handle motion and rod pressure
- Slender profile is less visible than wider topwater baits
- Treble hooks tangle easily in debris
