Question Surf howdy -walk the dog or slow wake

What's your preference with a surf howdy type lure: walk the dog or slow wake (like a needle)? I've tried both with similar success.

My preference doesn't matter. It's the fish's preference that should govern your decision. Vary it and find out what they want.

I like to walk it, but it has to "pop and splash" a little. I think it looks a little more alive

I have a Bernzy split tail howdy , I make it act like a bait fish with it's tail cut off ,,, walk , stop , tail splash V-wake with the tail spinning and spitting, it wakes up a lazy fish for sure then, Bam ,your on
I haven't caught any big fish on it but it wakes them up , and Bernzy the signature on it hasn't worn off.
I love the way it leaves a V wake and with the spinning tail spitting.

IMO this was an innovative lure which has been copied to death because if is easy to make. I fish it like a needle and the V wake is pronounced and deadly. Great plug, always have one or two in my bag.

walk the dog
it drives bass mental

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
