Yo-Zuri 3DB Pencil 4.25-inch surface lure

A walk-the-dog surface lure that matches the 3- to 5-inch profile of peanut bunker and sand eels during the fall run. The side-to-side action requires a steady rod-tip twitch rather than a straight retrieve, which takes practice to time correctly against fast-moving schools.

Best for

Fall surface action on albies, bluefish, and stripers

Look for

Saltwater-safe materials, appropriate sizing, serviceable parts, and a clear return path.
