Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore TopKnock Pencil Floating Topwater Lure

A Flat-Sitting Topwater Pencil with a Single-Knock Rattle

The Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore TopKnock Pencil floats flat on the surface rather than resting tail-down. That horizontal posture lends itself to a side-to-side walk-the-dog retrieve, giving you room to vary the pace from a slow walk to a quicker cadence.

A single-knock rattle in the tail adds a distinct sound to the presentation. The tail weighting also helps the lure cast tail-first. Saltwater-grade treble hooks and stainless steel split rings round out the hardware.

How to Fish It

Cast toward likely feeding water, take up excess slack, and use short rod-tip twitches while retrieving slowly. Leave a little slack between twitches so the pencil can glide from side to side instead of pulling straight ahead.

Begin with a steady walking rhythm, then mix in pauses or a faster cadence to find what fish respond to. If a fish misses the lure, let it sit briefly before restarting. Wait until you feel the fish's weight before applying pressure, rather than reacting only to the splash. Match your rod to the selected lure weight, handle the trebles carefully, and rinse the lure after saltwater use.
