The well-known “Walking the Dog” technique is difficult to execute cleanly with many surface lures, but it’s particularly easy to pull off with the Sammy. Combined with the additional spitting action—which is more commonly associated with poppers—it creates an extremely effective surface presentation.

This lure impresses not only with its action, but also with its glassy rattles—which specifically attract predatory fish—and its very natural designs. Thanks to its excellent casting performance, it allows you to efficiently cover a large area of water, making it a staple in any well-stocked tackle box.

The Sammy has achieved numerous tournament successes in recent years and has thus proven itself even among experienced anglers. The size 100 is a true all-rounder that reliably catches plenty of fish while always offering the potential to land larger predators. The lure is particularly effective when schools of fish are hunting at the surface and the prey fish tend to be small.

The Sammy is often retrieved a bit faster, causing it to skim across the surface like a fleeing prey fish. It is precisely this behavior that often triggers hard, direct strikes and makes it one of the most effective topwater lures around.
