Best "dog-walk" topwater lure?

[GAMEOVER]

So far ive found the LC Sammys to be the best for walking-the-dog but was curious if any of you fellow topwater junkys out there know of a better lure? I have some Dog-Xs which ive only used once but I feel I can work the Sammy so easy compared to anything ive tried. Now easy doesnt mean better necessarly but what are you guys using as your go-to lure for walking the doggy?

I like the Dog-X Jr. but usually end up walking a Sammy 65.

I dont if the sammy is the best i still like the Spook the best. You really need a moderate even fiberglass rod to really work a walk bait.

Well I have a mediocre rod I use for it and can walk lures pretty easyly only thing I hate about the Sammy is there finish wears off so fast for me

Marc, suprised you use them dinky sized ones with all them pigs you have around you. I prefer the 100 size and these are for northerns

I'm with mhood. I like the Dog-X Jr. as well. Very easy to dog walk. It is a little on the small end though, but it catches a ton of fish.

For a true "Walk the dog" motion, the Sammys rule the roost. As far as putting fish in the boat, the older Excalibur Spittin Image Jr. is my #1. Hate to let the cat out of the bag for anyone else that covets these little gems, but I'm in a mushroom cloud laying mood.

Original Ichiban wooden...if you can find them.

Otherwise, for me, the Zara Spook walks easier than the LCs or even the Excaliburs.

[ZPIfan]

Ichiban Minnow is the best hands down. Nothing even compares.

Marc you should try a gunnish 75 (gunfish in the US I think). For a finesse bait it beats the sammy 65 IMO. I thinks it casts further than a sammy on the same combo!
I have just purchased a trairao and this thing is nuts!! It make so muh noise it's unreal!!

[USA-RET]

Pick up a Lews Speed Pencil at Bass Pro shops and give it a try ....for $2.88. The thing works great. Nice colors and grerat action (looks very much like the Sammy). I know it's not a LC....but for less than $3.00..try one.

Spook or Spook.

I like both.

Spook or Spook.

Works for me too.

Maybe it is because I have a lot of experience using them, but no matter what brand of cigar-style lure I try, I always seem to favor the Spooks, and, especially lately, the Swayback Spooks. Again, it might be a familiarity thing, but I can work them on any rod, and I have caught my best fish on those things. They aren't as flashy, but they never seem to fail me.
