The Lucky Craft Sammy 100 is a top water lure that will ‘walk the dog’, spit, rattle and has an amazing finish. Use the lure in various retrieves. If you are a beginner, use a 6 or 6 ˝’ medium action rod so you can learn the short jerk/pause retrieve that will allow you to walk the dog with the side to side action. This is the technique you will want to use most often. Fish the lure around cedars, on points and along grass lines where fish are holding. The lure is especially effective where you see top water action.
