Throwback Baits WakeWalker LT 5.5" Blackout

WakeWalker LT in Blackout

The Throwback Baits WakeWalker LT brings the original resin WakeWalker design to an ABS platform. This Blackout version measures 5.5 inches and weighs 2 ounces, with a three-piece body, size #3 hooks, and a large TB tail made from stretchy TPE plastic.

Fish it high on the surface for a waking presentation, or increase your retrieve speed to crank it down. A fast retrieve can take it about 2 feet below the surface, with actual depth depending on your setup and cadence.

How to Fish It

Choose a rod rated to cast a 2 oz lure, with line and terminal tackle suited to the setup. Make controlled casts with a clear path behind and beside you. Test the lure nearby first to find the reel speed that keeps it waking on the surface.

Begin with a steady retrieve along a clear cover edge. Add a brief pause beside a target, then resume the wake. For a subsurface pass, increase your reel speed and watch the bait's response before making a longer cast. Keep enough contact to follow the lure without forcing every movement with the rod.

When a fish strikes, wait until you feel its weight before reeling down and making a controlled hookset. Avoid reacting to the splash alone. Check your knot, line, hooks, joints, and tail after each fish or contact with cover.

Care and Storage

Store separately from other soft plastic lures. The TPE tail may react when in contact with other soft plastics. Keep the tail from being bent or compressed in storage. After saltwater exposure, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before putting the lure away. Secure hooks during transport, and check that replacement hooks or hardware do not obstruct the joints or change the lure's movement.
