Reading this thread make me anxious for summer! #1 all around producer for me is the Heddon Tiny Torpedo. I also like twitching the original floating Rapala in size 11 or 13, fishing it real slow is deadly. I also like the Devil's Horse. I've never had a lot of luck with poppers, but it's a confidence thing with me....like most guys I stick with what has worked in the past, and that usually means the Torpedo, Devil's Horse or Rapala. There have been times though that I've had good success with Buzzbaits and Jitterbugs.

The most effective topwater lure I've ever used is a 3/8 oz. black Booyah Buzzbait, aka "Killa". Black blade, skirt, head, and red eyes. Its got a small metal tab that slaps the blade on each rotation that makes a "clank" sound. Unbelievable how effective this bait really is.

Second choice is a Zoom Horny Toad, and a third is a Sizmic Pop N' Toad.

My favorite topwater is a buzzbait - - I prefer a fairly light one with a large enough prop that it can be crawled - and has a very prominent "squeak."  

After that  - Storm Chug Bug, a good Frog, walking baits already mentioned, etc....

One tip on the Torpedo - try tying some feathers on the rear hook.  After all these years they are still killer baits, and also the topwater I hooked (and lost  :-[) the biggest bass of my life on.

Here are my favorites:

Cultiva/Owner Tango Dancer Chrome - walking bait

Mister Twister Salad Spoon = soft plastic pond scum bait

Booyah Buzz Bait - Black skirt red blade

Megabass Type X Frog - Surface/subsurface bait - Tonomsa Color (looks like a bullfrog)

Floating worm wacky rigged - Usually a Pink or White 6 inch Rattlesnake Floater

JITTERBUG FOR SURE!!!! ive tried fishing topwater for a while now and never could get a hit. i just got a jitterbug and tied it on today and i had alot of hits and even hooked one but it was too small and the hook was too big so it came off easily.
