Berkley Cane Walker Saltwater
This topwater lure walks the dog, and it also has a cupped face to throw water and pop. Built -in rattles add to the commotion, and a weighted tail is designed to land straight and cast for distance.
Savage Gear RevMag Walker Salt
The reverse magnetic weight transfer system in the RevMag Walker casts far and is balanced for smooth, quiet landings. It’s a topwater, walk-the-dog lure with a wide shimmy to cover a swath of water and stay in the strike zone.
Z-Man Swag LT
The Swag LT can be rigged with either a dorsal or belly hook to swim through grass or over oysters with ease. The line-through design reduces thrown hooks by allowing the lure to slide away from the hook after hook-set.
Daiwa Tournament D-Fin
The Tournament D-Fin is now available in new 3-, 4- and 5-inch sizes. These smaller-profile paddletails should play large when smaller baitfish are the forage. They track straight with a side-to-side wobble and smell like squid.
