Never peg this. Drop this on a bass and 9 time out of 10 they eat it on the fall. If they don’t give it a wiggle and then they will. Less than 8 feet I use 1/8oz and in 8-12 feet I use a 1/4oz. I typically don’t fish it any deeper than 12 feet. It’s a great bait for targeting shallower fish in the late summer. I always have one tied on no matter what lake I’m fishing.

Late summer early fall is the best time to walk the dog in my opinion. At this time of year they seem to like the fastest retrieve I can manage. A Duckett rod is great for walking the dog because of how balanced and light they are. For speed walking I like a sexy dawg or sexy dawg jr. Some days they like it a little slower in that case I choose a bigger bait to really trigger an aggressive response.
