The duo pencil 85 is a fish catching machine for me, definitely my favorite topwater when not throwing a frog.

Yellow Magic and then a Spook
But the other day someone mentioned the old Heddon Torpedo. I went out and picked up a couple and killed them with the G Finish Shad color.

My favorite is a 3/8 oz. YM. They stopped making them, but you can still buy some off of Ebay from Japan for about $20 each. It is a BIG FISH Bait. Fishing a working man's T, I caught 4 on 4 casts, nothing big, but it was STILL a blast. Don't know why they stopped making them, because they couldn't sell them, I am sure, but it is the BOMB!!!!!! Hope this helps.
Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

OH, I have 14 of them, too.

Hard to beat a pop r Not if your fishing a yellow magic it isnt. Lol they both catch fish but with the YM you can make that bait move so subtle and walk the dog. I catch a ton of fish on them working very slow with subtle twitches.

Things change from time to time. I love throwing the YM's, Pop R's, Spooks, heck even the Torpedo. The last couple of weeks I've had great mornings with a 1/2 oz or maybe it's a 5/8 oz Rebel Pop R. The bigger version. Never did that well before with it. I know the saying "match the hatch" but the threadfins are that big yet. Oh well, I'll still take it!!!

The old, no longer in production Heddon Zara II & the Heddon torpedo. The Zara II was just the perfect size spook...sure wish they were still available. For night time and low light I also still like to throw a Jitter Bug. They used to be so popular but rarely thrown anymore. Not many bass now a days have seen one over and over each weekend. An old classic that's like a new lure to bass now. I like the weedless version to.

Zara Spook for sure. Really enjoy fishing the old wooden Spooks.
Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

For me, it's difficult to have only one favorite. Mine used to be a tossup between the old, original #11 balsa floating Rapala, twitched on the surface in the daytime, and a black Jitterbug at night. Now, though, I'd have to add a Ribbit and a hollow-body frog to those 2 "old-timers."
