Rapala Precision X-Treme Pencil 87: Walk-the-Dog Topwater for Sea Bass

The Rapala Precision X-Treme Pencil 87 is a walk-the-dog topwater pencil and one of Charlie's picks for sea bass fishing. At 8.7 cm and 12 g it casts a long way thanks to an internal weight system, and it zigzags across the surface as you twitch the rod tip.

That internal weight doubles as the Dual Frequency Knocker. As it slides along an internal rail, it hits a plastic pillar and a stainless steel weight in turn, giving a sequence of high and low pitched sounds that draws fish from near and far. The pillar also makes the body more durable, and the hooks sit on a wire that runs through the body.

The textured, translucent body carries printed scales, ultra-detailed finishes and a 3D holographic eye.
