Strike King Sexy Dawg Jr 3.75" 1/2oz Clear Sexy Shad

The Strike King Sexy Dawg Jr 3.75" topwater lure is a compact walk-the-dog hard bait built for anglers who want big action in a smaller package. At 1/2 ounce and 3.75 inches long, this topwater excels at enticing bass in shallow cover, tight quarters, and when fish want a more subtle presentation than full-size topwaters deliver. The Clear Sexy Shad finish mimics natural baitfish and works across a range of water conditions, making it a reliable choice for both lake and river fishing.

This lure operates on the same proven principle as its larger siblings: rhythmic rod-tip twitches make the nose walk side to side, creating that distinctive topwater commotion that triggers strikes. The design is straightforward to work—no complicated cadence required—and it casts cleanly without excessive line twist. Whether you're fishing early morning, late evening, or overcast days when bass hunt the surface, the Sexy Dawg Jr delivers the action that's made this line a tournament and weekend warrior staple.

Topwater fishing rewards patience and rhythm. The Sexy Dawg Jr rewards you with consistent, predictable action and the visual takes that make topwater so addictive. Keep one tied on when conditions favor a smaller profile or when bass are feeding on juvenile baitfish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to fish a walk-the-dog topwater lure?

Cast the lure and keep your rod tip low and pointed at the water. Use short, rhythmic twitches—not heavy jerks—to make the nose walk side to side. Pause between twitches to let the lure glide. The cadence matters less than consistency; find a rhythm that feels natural and keeps the lure moving steadily.

When should I use a smaller topwater like the Sexy Dawg Jr instead of a full-size topwater?

The compact 3.75" size works well in shallow, vegetated areas where larger lures can't penetrate, around sparse cover, and when bass are feeding on smaller baitfish. It's also a good choice when fish seem hesitant to chase a bigger topwater or when you want to fish topwater in calmer, clearer conditions.

What does the Clear Sexy Shad finish match?

Clear Sexy Shad is a natural, translucent finish that imitates juvenile shad and other small baitfish. It's effective in clear to moderately stained water and works across a variety of light conditions.
