SKitterwalk Jr

[imhammer]

Has anyone tried these yet? I picked some up at Acaemy. they are a hair smaller than the SS Jr.

I have one that I've tried a few times. I just have some much confidence in ssjrs, she dogs and regular skitterwalks that I rarely throw it. The hooks on mine rusted after the first use so switching them out to vmc's would be a good idea.

I've caught some good fish on them. I like for really calm days when I want a small lure, or for fishing lights at night.

I do use the spook jrs much more though.

I had the rattle quit working on a couple of mine.I've got a couple but prefer the ssjr

[Explorer21]

I have not, please let me know how it works out. Like we need another toy in the box :)

Ive been using the sw-8 for a few years now.. great small ones. i am SO GLAD they came back out with the pink.. its a dynamite color for west bay winter trout...

Only complaint i have is we have alot that dont hold up. They will turn black on the inside and that comes from cracks that let water seap in

I had the same problem with some of the regular skitterwalks.

Any of the silver or holographic sided ones tend to leak after awhile. I mostly stick with pearl or white/red ones and then just throw the pink ones away when they leak. Good lure, just too bad its not put together very well.

Pink is the winter color.SS jr could make a fortune if the had'em.

That is awesome!

that's killer. the sw-8's are nice but they don't hold up for crap like already has been said. they are also not made for salt water so you have to change out the hooks and rings. they are too expensive to be having to do that. Just stick with the ss jr's or she pups.

Good tip about the pink dye, thanks.

The Jr makes a great skinny water redfish bait. i just picked up the pink since it's back on the market and I'm sure I will put it to good use on some trout. For reds, in the marsh, the bright yellow with orange on the back will really make em angry.

I agree with most of the above and fish the spook and spook jr, and she dogs much more, but there are certain situations that the skitter walks excell. Last year I had several days in the late fall where I couldn't keep the trout off the little black back jr. It does a good job of filling the gaps in the color selection and sound line ups of the other popular top waters.

[lurefisher]

The only thing i don't like is how the back of them set in the water when sitting still,They kinda sink to me .My favorite top water is the skitter walk though.

Checkout the MEGABASS DOG X topwater lure. Pricey at about $22 but unique smaller size at about 3 1/2 " and thin and a easy slipping through the water with lots of splashing for down sizing smaller than a spook jr. Especially good for calm, flat, shallow water and not being too noisy for spooking fish. :)

[shallowist]

or you could tie on a spitting image, in calm clear water, trout and reds will knock the crap out of it!! only issue is that its a little on the light side and sometimes they force of the strike will knock the lure out of the water. Still fun to watch! :)

Only complaint i have is we have alot that dont hold up. They will turn black on the inside and that comes from cracks that let water seap in..same with mine even the regular skitterwalk...pink is awesome in west bay also awesome in the surf in the summer!

Got a pink one for Christmas. Will probably return it. I don't own any other skitterwalks and don't want to increase the size of my arsenal. Quality over quantity!
