avidone1 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Like most anglers I love topwaters. My favorite type by far is a walking bait. I've had a number of them over the years including some of high priced Japanese models. I really like the Sammy from LC, but recently have returned to the original zara spook. It has a great shape, walks the dog like it invented it (oh, it did) and doesn't cost a fortune. the paint jobs may not be as exquisite as say a megabass but I think those elaborate paint jobs are more for catching fisherman than fish. What cha tink? Quote
MIbassin Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Either a spook, or a bait I feel is overlooked which is the rapala skitter walk Quote
Hog Basser Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I've been using the zara spook and a yamamoto tate pencil a lot this year. I got the yamamoto because it was on sale 2 for $10 at DSG and has a really good look to it. I have plenty of spooks in by tackle box and tried them the same day and had equal results. Both great baits at a reasonable price. 1 Quote
robster80 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 PH Customs make a great one. probably my favorite and i have a ton Quote
fisherrw Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I really like Megabass dog x in sexy shad... 1 Quote
kbeeb374 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 My personal favorite is a Excalibur (now Heddon) spit n image. I have a few that I let my buddy practice painting on that are sweet. walks super easy, great sound, and a little different shape that a typical walker. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 13, 2016 Super User Posted May 13, 2016 I havent used many . Zara Spook and a few chuggers that I walk . My favorite isnt really a walking bait but I use it like one . The old Dalton Special's . Quote
Super User J Francho Posted May 13, 2016 Super User Posted May 13, 2016 The only topwater bait I threw last year was a PopMax in python color. Just started throwing as temps are in the 50s. Quote
Scarborough817 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 kvd sexy dawg going to pick up a couple hendon super spook jr's though Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted May 13, 2016 Global Moderator Posted May 13, 2016 To me nothing walk's like a regular sized Spook. Mike 1 Quote
PennBass Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I have this one duo realis I found in a tree that works really well. It has a sort of half sphere on the lip that makes it walk easier apparently and I've caught tons of fish on it Quote

Super User Jar11591 Posted May 13, 2016 Super User Posted May 13, 2016 8 minutes ago, king fisher said: Rebel jumping minnow Definitely the easiest to walk out of any I have used. If you get it just right you can get it to walk sub-surface as well. Quote
Josh Smith Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I have a Skitter Walk I need to try. The Spook has done really well for me, and I find the River2Sea Spittin' Image to walk very nicely as well. Josh Quote
jitterbug127 Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Heddon spook jr in bone is my number 1 lure in my top water box. Quote
Dan_the_fisher Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Zara spooks are my favorite in calm clear water because of no rattles, I add split rings and triple grip hooks to help hold the fish. In rough water I go to the gunfish, r2s rover, showerblow, or a super spook Quote
robster80 Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 another i like is the duo realis pencil 110 nice sound if makes. caught my PB on it last year Quote
Mumbly Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Super spook jr. has been my favorite for a couple of years now, Really like the chug'n spook and the H2O TWS baits. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 15, 2016 Global Moderator Posted May 15, 2016 Super Spook JR or a One Knocker Spook. Quote
kcdinkerz Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I mostly throw the sk sexy dawg or Sammy. Both pretty easy to use Quote
crypt Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 spook,big or little it don't matter……still the best. Quote
