Just wanted to know what you guys favorite topwater lure is and why. Also where to throw them and some of your favorite colors.
Black Jitterbug.
Why ? because besides that it works I like how it sounds
Pop R's and jitterbugs handsdown.
Zara Spooks
Why: Topwater fishing says it all.
I like walking baits because I get to make them do what I want.
1. Pink or white trick worm.
2. RICOs
3. Buzzbait
Personally I'm in love with this thing.

Its fish catching abilities are phenomenal. Much better than the vaunted Spro frog IMO.
I like Sammy's but buzz frogs have become a very close second.

Store bought -Rapala O.F.M. F-13
Custom- Homemade like my avatar ,and it was painted by a B.R. member.Just something about making something yourself then catching a fish on it.
Buzzbait or Norman Weed Walker
black jointed jitterbug. I fish them along rip rap, over roadbeds, and around any other cover I can find from the shore.
Why, the fish can't resist it.

Because my home lake has tons of coontail moss and you can't throw trebles into it. Oh and also bass absolutely crush them.
#1=Rage Shad. Can be fished anywhere including most places you would not get your buzzbait back from. My fish catchinest bait the last 2 years.

x2 forgot that one. Like black and white ones
Super Spooks.. Hands down.
I like them because you can fish em fast, slow, aggressive, and quiet. They cast a mile, and accurately.
As for colours, foxy shad, okie shad, and florida bass
The lure i love the most... foxy shad... but you could barely tell... gone through atleast 6 pairs of triple grips, and the thing is beat to all hell with teeth marks, hook marks... etc. If it still walks.. it aint coming off my line.

Depends what continent I'm on.
Here I have an addiction with the horny toad. Specifically white.
In Brazil, nothing beats a monster prop bait. Especially the custom ones my friend at Bodega Bay Baits makes for me.
The skitterpop in frog or lime frog is my best producing topwater, followed closely by the cavitron buzzbait and the rage shad. All three catch a lot of bass for me.
Spro Bronzeye Jr. Why you ask? Its size is a smaller profile, so it can produce on pressured waters or smaller fish. Don't doubt its ability to catch bigger fish though. Its size to weight ratio is perfect, it walks the dog better than most Airedales, it hooks fish up well, can be fished fast or slow, and anywhere in between, and is weedless. On an overcast day this thing never leaves my lineup. I have 100% confidence that I can fish this anywhere and pull out fish. I use it on 50lb Spiderwire, and a 7ft rod with the power a frog demands at times. This thing is killer when twitched, walked, chugged, anyway its in the water. Toss it near bushes, laydowns, grass, lillypads, banks, rip-rap, openwater, anywhere. With the braid and quality of this frog you can literally drag fish everywhere. Try flippin' fish 3 feet overtop of branches with mono while maintaing the hookup........ :
Rage tail Shad.
