Walking the dog will be different for every type of situation that you come across.
The best secret there is requires you, the angler to be flexible and adaptive to the environment.
Typically walking the dog would just be casting out and retreiving in a small zig zag movement which imitates an injured bait fish.
Cold water, stained water, deep water and tanic water will behave differently from each other and the type or species of Bass that you are going for.
Cold water will require a slower presentation since the Bass don't want to exert too much energy. Each time you change direction, give a little pause to it. Sometimes you will need to count to 3,5,10 or even 20 seconds before the next twitch or change in direction.
The Rapala Skitter Walk creates the movement for you at a fast paced retrieve which will be ideal in warmer and topwater situations.
Slow it down in different areas. Speed it up in others. You will need to adapt as you go since there is not a universal speed that works in all water situations.
Good luck and let us know how you do.[cool]
