Its a popular lure they would be insane to stop producing it.Have you checked there?

| I think it is just a change in terminology. Go to their website and look at the freshwater Skitterwalk - it is 3 1/8" long. Compare that to the saltwater Skitterwalk, which is 4 3/8"long. Those are the dimensions of the former Skitterwalk Jr. (a freshwater bait all along) and the Skitterwalk, a longer bait with ss hooks. I know I just bought 4-5 of the smaller Skitterwalks not long ago at Academy in San Antonio - tremendous redfish topwaters. |

skitterwalk,,, never knew the name of them...I use them from bass when they feed on schools of shad.
SALTWATER Q:
How do you guys work this lure,,, zig zag by poping your rod tip,,,,a steady constant action or change the motion ??????

tick tick tick tick tick tick tick ... all the way back to the boat.
I just vary the speeds from tick tick tick to tick....... tick....... tick.....until I get them hitting it. I will also stop and pause over potholes to entice a strike.
A wise guide once told me...

WTH??? You think.... He meant he tries to keep the lure "walkin" back in forth constantly without actually reeling the lure back to the him. |

Academy hsa them in the saltwater section right w/ the regular skitterwalks. Just buy some real hooks as they have the light weight fw hooks. Picked up a couple today...somebody will probably win it a Jerry B's on Saturday  |
