Hot n Tot Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 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. Quote
Curado Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Strike King spit-n-king, chugbug, super spook jr., Hart ticker buzzbait, Horny toad, Snag Proof bobby's perfect frog Quote
norm2525 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 My Favorites are Super Spook & Spook Jr. Lucky Craft Sammies Storm Chugbug Booyah Buzzbaits and a follow up for when they miss zoom fluke Quote
Shakes Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 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. Quote
Stringjam Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 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. Quote
zara spook Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 zara spook...of course jitterbug pop-r and a weedless frog like a Harrison Hoge Superior Quote

lovecranking Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I am looking at the megabass Anthrax 100 to use for topwater. Anyone tried it & what were the reults? Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I have a lot of success with floating Rogues,floating Rapalas,buzzbaits,Tiny Torpedos,and Devil's Horse. Quote
Baconstrip Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Any Pop-R type no matter what Brand they are, Heddon Popin Image, Jitter Bug & Hula Popper. I agree, I have had the most success with pop-r type baits. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted June 10, 2007 Super User Posted June 10, 2007 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.
