The Pencil, in all of Yo Zuri’s different lineups, is one of the most popular and effective lures they produce. It walks with ease and has no issue when casting directly into winds thanks to the rear weight transfer system. It is aerodynamic and has a great action above the surface.
3DR Series
The 3DR (3D Real Series) lineup are some of the most beautiful hard baits you will find. They all feature an internal 3D prism to make them very bright and reflective, and all of the colors perfectly imitate bass forage.
They excel in clear water and pressured situations.

3DR Pencil Specs
The bait weighs in just under a ½-ounce and 7/16-ounce and the length is perfect for all bass species.
The bait is four-inch long with a thin cigar-shaped profile that makes walking-the-dog easy for new and experienced bass anglers alike.
It also has a single knocking sound to help draw fish from afar.

3DR Added Appeal
Another component of this bait is Yo-Zuri’s Wave-Motion Ribbing which adds some extra vibration. The bait also comes equipped with very sharp hooks, so there is no need to swap out your trebles.

Fishing the 3DR Pencil
The bait walks with ease and can be fished on both monofilament and braided line.
The tight walking action helps to prevent a braided line from wrapping around the front treble hook, which can be the case with some other walking topwater baits.
Fished on 40-pound braid, it can cast a great distance to reach schooling fish or other far away targets.
