What is your go to lure for top water fishing? Do you spend the big $$ on certain name brand over another and why? I usually use a frog but we all know the hookup rate on them isn't all that great but sure is fun. And then it's usually a whooper plopper second.

buzzbait ,yellow magic and whopper plopper .

Giant Dog X. They just work

3 hook spook, bone is my go to but have a bunch of different ones.

frog next for cover, buzzbait for open water/points

Since we are not talking about frogs I will go with the Megabass Diamante.....incredibly underrated and is a blast to fish. Second would be a Megabass Pop Max.


Just something about both of those lures that seems to get a lot of bites.

Give me a Yellow Magic (Large Size) and let me get to business

Only topwater I have thrown in decades......

And very pricey it seems. Would hate to lose one.

About $7 from quite a few Japanese online shops but I can’t say I’ve ever lost a topwater anyways…they float

The JDM original Dog X, and Dog X quickwalker are sleepers too that not too awful many people in America throw

Rj’s buzz bait of course

Me too lol.

Buzzbait and then the spook

For you guys throwing a whopper plopper, try the Choppo. I like the plopper but the Choppo is the deal. Put a snap swivel on the medium sized one and keep the rod tip high until about halfway in. The small one is a fish catching machine too but the hooks are WAY too small. It just sounds so much better than a plopper.

You'll have to pry my 130 plopper out of my cold dead hands.

Evergreen Showerblows

They’re ok, my dad caught himself on one.
