I think there's alot of criss cross in the 2 plugs as far as weighting . who's spook ? who's pencil ? To me a spook should be the winner hands down if your looking for a plug to walk on top . Proper weighting dictates how much effort you have to put into working the plug and how well it walks . Best results from a spook would be little effort to produce a tight "S" walk on top .. We all have our favirote .. No secret who mine is .(jigman).. Works best in moderate to flat water..
People look for different things from pencil poppers and are buying and making them to suit themselves. A few examples of different pencil poppers looks are
1. walkers .. weighted much like spooks .. sit like 45 to 30 degrees dead in the water.. some folks like to walk them ..
2. slappers .. Some fishers look for a slapping action of the kneck of the pencil slapping at the water .. this is a comotion ..
3. bouncers or canal pencils .. Lots of fishers on the canal prefer a dead arse heavy pencil popper like a Hawg Hunter that the tip is just exposed at rest ,,to even a sinking or slow sink custom pencil popper .. This pencils action I call "trying to get the hell out of the water look " sitting low .. and rising to exit .. or bounce.. #3 might shine in the canal but be very dissapointing as a walker.. so many different plugs that look the same in your hand but far different in the water . Alot of people call Bernzy's Surf Howdy a spook .. Bernzy will tell you himself its not a spook, even though you can walk it . Most tend to sit almost straight up and down at rest similar to the bait it was fashioned after.. Cordell Howdy.. a stickbait ... There's no wrong .. its all good .. I carry a spook and a pencil .. as well as my jiggys cast the pencil is still the reacher ..
