The Bass Mafia Dead Man Walking is a topwater stick bait and walking bait built for pure dominance. When the sun is high and the bass are looking up, this is the ultimate way to trigger those "heart-attack" blow-ups in open water. Engineered with a weighted tail for long-distance bombing and a streamlined profile, the Dead Man Walking is a master of the "walk-the-dog" action.

The Dead Man Walking is built to give you total control over the surface. Its internal rattle system emits a deep, rhythmic "thud" with every twitch, mimicking a large baitfish in distress and drawing fish in from a distance. The weighted rear design not only helps you reach those spooky fish at the back of the cove but also ensures the bait sits at the perfect angle for an immediate walking action the second it hits the water. Outfitted with three premium, sticky-sharp trebles, once a Mondo commits, they aren't getting away.

Questions & Answers

Straight answers from the Squad on the Bass Mafia Dead Man Walking Topwater.

What is the Bass Mafia Dead Man Walking?

The Dead Man Walking is a topwater stick bait and walking bait built for explosive blow-ups in open water. A weighted tail allows long casts, and an internal rattle system makes a deep, rhythmic thud with every twitch. It's 5" and 0.85 oz with #5 hooks.

How do you walk the dog with a topwater bait?

Point your rod tip down and make short, rhythmic twitches while reeling up the slack. Each twitch makes the bait glide to one side, then the other, in a zig-zag "walk the dog" action. Keep slack in the line between twitches, and when a fish strikes, wait until you feel it before setting the hook.

What are the best Dead Man Walking colors?

Bone is a classic topwater color in any condition. Chrome, Chrome Shiner, Blueback Herring, Ghost Minnow and Ghost Gill imitate baitfish in clear water. Clear Chartreuse stands out in stained water, and Matte Black gives a strong silhouette in low light.

When and where does the Dead Man Walking work best?

Walking stick baits shine in the spring, summer and fall when bass are looking up, including when the sun is high in open water. Fish the Dead Man Walking over open water, points and flats, and wherever bass are chasing baitfish on the surface.
