Kingdom Z-Dog 3D Hologram Topwater Walking Pencil
Kingdom Z-Dog 3D Hologram Topwater Walking Pencil
The Z-Dog is a hard-bodied walking pencil built for topwater bass fishing. The 3D hologram finish throws flash with every twitch, mimicking a fleeing baitfish skittering across the surface. It floats at rest and responds to short rod snaps with the classic side-to-side walk-the-dog wobble that draws reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth holding near cover.

Product description
The Z-Dog is a hard-bodied walking pencil built for topwater bass fishing. The 3D hologram finish throws flash with every twitch, mimicking a fleeing baitfish skittering across the surface. It floats at rest and responds to short rod snaps with the classic side-to-side walk-the-dog wobble that draws reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth holding near cover.
Available in four sizes from 45mm to 90mm, it covers everything from finesse presentations around docks and grass edges to bigger profiles for open-water schooling fish. Treble hooks are set for solid hookups on explosive topwater blowups, making this a go-to choice for early morning and low-light bass sessions.
How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover or baitfish activity and let the lure settle for a few seconds
- Snap the rod tip down and to the side in short strokes to start the walk-the-dog cadence
- Keep slack in the line between snaps so the lure pivots freely instead of pulling straight
- Pause after a series of walks near likely holding spots to trigger a reaction strike
Frequently asked
The 55mm or 70mm sizes cover most all-around bass fishing. Go smaller for finesse or pressured water, larger for reaction bites on bigger fish.
Brighter, high-contrast hologram patterns show up better in stained water, while more natural, translucent finishes tend to work well in clear conditions.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a moderate tip helps with the walking action, paired with 10-14 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader.
Early morning, evening, and overcast days are prime times, especially around grass lines, docks, and points where bass are feeding near the surface.
