Spook JR, doesn't matter what color, all the bellies are white for the most part and that's what the fish see.

Ditto. A Yankee that's got it right. I prefer bull frog.

fishing user avatarDyerbassman reply : 

Can't go wrong with a classic Jitterbug


fishing user avatarColdSVT reply : 

Right now im doing well on the live target hollow body in the pads and near weeds. the LC sammy in more open water.

just got a RI Vixen the other day...cant wait to play with it


fishing user avatarMumbly reply : 

Only smallmouth up here so if I had to pick one as an all-time most productive I would say a Heddon Torpedo in bullfrog. Having said that, lately a Rebel Pop'R in clear or bone has been working incredibly well. Last month it was a Super Spook Jr. in bone and a Zara puppy in bone.

 

Guess this all means it's sometimes situational as to what the fish like.

Heddon's Tiny Torpedo is one of the finest top water baits ever made and will surprise you from time to time by getting a strike 

from a bass that's much more than average...I'm down South and I assure you we use 'em down here, too.

Try the Excalibur popper in a shad style pattern, worked well for me in Minnesota on smallmouth when I was up there! Tight lines man

Isn't a RICO like a $25 popper? I think I saw one at bass pro one time. What's the difference between that and a $3 rebel pop-r besides a fancy paint job and better hooks (which can be replaced anyways)?

Zara Spook and it's not even close.


fishing user avatarbradc36 reply : 

If you haven't used one you won't understand how awesome it is, Arbogast Buzz Plug in black or firetiger. Other than that keep it to livetarget frogs and field mouse for heavier cover.


fishing user avatarCrankinstein reply : 

Megabass Pop X in white python color for me. Largemouth, white bass, and even the occasional bull bluegill have been hitting it this year. I've had success in very shallow coves with a lot of cover as well as open water on fish busting the surface. On all occasions I'm using a pop pop pause style retrieve and the fish hit it on the pause every time.


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply : 

For me its only one -The most universal Cavitron - the most productive top water bait I have used- Yes there is a time and place for spooks-Pop-R's but for all around top water-Nothing I have found out produces a Cavitron buzz Bait- besides I know the owner and I get a few free ones-

If you're referring to the buzz plug, I use the larger size.
