Favorite type of topwater bait?

[Cal]

Who doesn't like a topwater bite? But with so many ways to catch them on top, which is your favorite?

[Drakestar]

Frogs. Obviously All topwater is fun, but only a frog has the potential to get a giant bust through thick vegetation to get your bait.

It's hard to pick one. I said popper because I've probably caught the most and biggest fish on this style. I haven't been able to find a good frog bite this year but that can be hard to beat with how vicious the strikes are.

This.



I have a lucky one I've owned since 1994. I've caught hundreds of bass on it. One day I'll loose it to a Pike, but I won't feel bad.

It has done it's duty.

My vote is for the spook/sammy style bait. I like the explosive strikes you get on any topwater, but walking the dog with short or long pauses, trying to figure out a cadence that will make fish react on any particular day is what makes those the most fun, to me anyway.

Popper for me, but I expect that crawler percentage to grow as more members participate.

Still waiting on that megabass I Wing Fry!

I grabbed a couple. Haven't been able to use them yet though.

Well said. X2

Not even a close one for me. Mos def the Zara Spook Jr's. Just have to change out the hooks.

I just love walking the dog spooks...even the spitting versions like a luckycraft gunfish.
