What's your favorite top water bait?

[shae1986]

mine would have too be soft plastics for topwater, so versitile and easy to use, i have cought my biggest fish on them and they work all year

If I had but one topwater lure in my boat it would be a Devils Horse in a frog pattern. Long slender lure with props front and rear. Both Largemouth and Smallmouth hit them and in the Spring you can watch the wakes of Northerns from 15-20' away come to pound them. Several years ago I made a fly in trip and caught over a 100 sm on one lure. Then I lost it, I remember the fish I lost it on not all the ones I caught. Never have less then 6 of them in the boat now...

I didn't think anybody else knew about the spittin image by excaliber- by far my favorite. They are hard to find but the rapala skitter walk is pretty close. Other favs are the chug bug and skitter pop. Grass frog is the best for fishin the thick stuff

[LEECH21]

I like the Spittin Image as well, nice action. But my all time favorite is a buzzbait. Nothing like casting out, reeling in fast and seeing a bass shoot all the way out of the water to smack it....I cannot wait for opener!

[P.DONA]

I see the most action on the tiny torpedo, but fish size isn't there.. Zara spook is my favorite!!!

[FishingIsLife]

Definitelt the Heddon Zara Spook. Excellent for getting bass out of thick weed beds, and though some people may disagree, I like a liitle chop, not a lot, when I use this bait. When there's a chop the light penetration is way less, and the bass will feed more in the top part of the water column. At dusk is definitely the best time to use it when water is still.

I am a topwater lover and have experimented with most, however, have found the Skitter prop to be my most successful, both for smallies and buckets...Might just be a confidence thing, but, I've been very LUCKY with them.

Id stick to the weedless frog. That is one of the best top water lures out there. Casting it out in the lilies pads and watching them bass go nuts.

[bassman186]

Yeah I would have to agree with Waltinader on that one!

yep, those weedless frogs are deadly for bass in lily pads and weeds. but last week, I went fishing with the kids and bought a couple of buzz bait and caught some pretty good size bass. now I use buzz bait for locating and then when you know where the are or they misses the buzzer, I use the weedless frog or the 10" powerworm for back up. Works for me.
