I get more fish on a Spook Jr, but a Evergreen Shower Blows is my favorite to throw.
Black jitterbug and a close second would be the rebel pop r!
I like to throw the Strike King Sugar Buzz
Have done the best through the years with a Devil's Horse.
Have done fair with various frogs.
130 whopper plopper or a frog
Lucky Craft Gunfish 95
Evergreen Shower Blows 105
Cotton Cordell Crazy Shad
Ima skimmer, Zoom Horny Toad or a Pop R for me.
Pompadour jr
Buzzbaits .
Frog................I throw it year round, in a wide array of conditions. Waking cranks would be #2 probably, but buzzbaits are making a comeback for me though. I own few traditional treble hooked topwaters anymore.
Hollow Body Frog and Buzzbait
Yo-Zuri Banana Boat lures & buzzbaits.
Rapala Skitter Walk
Storm Chug Bug
Megabass Pop Max
Pop r
Magnum Pop r
Rebel poppin' frog
Heddon Torpedo, Spit N Image & Rebel Pop R if its open water. Zoom Horny Toad or Senko (yea they can be used for top water) if I'm throwing it on top of weeds.
Super Spook
Rapala Skitter Pop
Stanley Ribbit Frog
Zoom Horny Toad
Finally broke down & bought a whopper plopper. Looking forward to trying it this spring.
The original excalibur spit n image. I only have 2 of the originals left but the current heddon ones work fine too.
I could throw my livetarget frogs all day without catching a fish and still have fun though.
-Buzz bait as long as it's black or white
-Stanley ribbit
- black Spro poppin frog

Same here. If the bass don't hit a jitterbug or a pop-r, they usually aren't coming up to the surface.
Hollow body frog or buzzbait.
hard to beat a buzzbait. it covers water, normally gets hit by the aggressive ones, it's pretty weedless, has a decent hookup ratio
PopMax in Python.

Evergreen Showerblow
Megabass PopMax
Super spook jr, buzzbait, torpedo and pop'r
bone colored Pop-R is number 1, then a G-finished, red head and white bodied baby sized spook, and a chrome and black scale finished torpedo,.... both come in a close second
All with better hooks and o-rings if need be.
But,...I like a j&p on pads too
Tough question but I would have to say the Jitterbug followed very closely by buzz bait and rebels pop-r.
Live Target blue gill. It's a fun bait to work and the hits are awesome. I'm not a huge fan of straight retrieve baits. I like to work a bait and feel like I'm enticing the bites rather than just reeling.
For best results I've found you have to turn the hooks up and use a froging rod.

Super Spook
Shower Blow 105
Buzzjet
Sammy 85 in MS American Shad. Casts like a dream and catches good quantity and quality of brown and green fish.
Xrap-walk 14 in glass ghost. Discontinued, originally a saltwater bait. Basically a big one knocker spook that looks just like a large shad. Not big on the Xrap colors but glass ghost is perfect for topwaters.
Reaction Innovations Swamp Donkey ( I bought a bunch for $2.00 a piece years ago).
Any 3/8 black buzz bait with decent components
Scum frog. An underrated bait. Much more subtle and less likely to spook shallow fish than other frogs. Wish the hooks were better. I bend them out a bit with pliers.
Once or twice a season in late summer I break out the old crick hopper popper. The hooks are bad but it's a really fun bait when the time is right.
My favorite top water is a white Live Target field mouse. Love everything about that thing. I also like a Devil's Horse on windy days. That's gotta be the oldest, most chewed up lure in my box, it was my dad's actually.
pop x, small frogs, and cavitron buzzbaits is most of my topwater fishing.
frogs are probably my favorite with the pop x close behind.
i just rcvd some Megabass Anthrax topwaters - looks like they will test my rod skills! I wonder if "Oh Ashota!" (1:39 mins) means what I think it does.
