Quick take
A 4-inch walk-the-dog topwater lure with patented 3D prism finish and back-and-forth swimming action.
The 4-inch Prism Shad in the Yo-Zuri 3DB Pencil line floats on the surface and makes sound with an internal rattle. Its prism finish adds flash, and it is built for bass, perch and walleye anglers working topwater. 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

Trade-offs

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.
