Izzy3374 reply :

Everyone. If you can handle spending 15$ on a lure (I know its hard), I have the top water bait for you.

Sebile Ghost Walker & Sebile ***

They have the best walk the dog action I've seen and with very little effort. The Ghost Walker is silent and the *** has lots of noise. I like the Natural Shad Color.

Amazing Action!!

Years ago it was the Creek Chub Plunker in an olive color. When I took up fishing again last year, it was disappointing to see they are no longer available.

There are similar lures available, but the rear of them is convex, rather than concave as seen in the photo.

J Francho reply :

I love every one of my topwaters. Can't Choose a favorite. One thing that's different about me, I sort my baits by what rod and reel I throw them with, not by type, so there are no buzzbaits in my "TW/Jerk/Frog" boxes. My brain doesn't even register a buzzbait as a TW, even though I know it is.

Some of my favorite topwaters:

Sammy

Gunfish

Spook

Super Spook

Spit 'n Image

Devil Horse

Chug Bug

Pop-R

Heddon Wooden Basser

Heddon Wooden Lucky 13

Mini Slammer

Bass Oreno

Jitterbug, both solid and broke back

Pitchinkid reply :

Pop - R or Soft plastics fished weightless(mostly lizards) ran on top of the water.

River2Sea bully wa....black with yellow head

Micro reply :

I've probably caught more fish on the Heddon Lucky 13 than any other top-water. But since last season, I've been taken with the Ima Roumba. This bait is the bomb-digity. If you haven't tried one, give one a whirl. A little expensive, but fished over submerged grass, it draws the blowups.

Crappiebasser reply :

Lucky Craft Sammy and SPRO bronze eye frogs.

I was SO close to buying one of these but instead went with the LC Kelly J Prop Bait. Still going to try and get one though next time I make a purchase online.

Blade-Runner reply :

- Original Floating Rapala

- Lunker Lure Buzzbait

- LC Sammy

J Francho reply :

I forgot about frogs and toads, too - they are in a whole 'nother category, like buzzbaits for me, so I forget to mention them as well. For Frogs I like:

Spro

Bigfoot

Snagproof

Basyrisky

Scumfrogs

BassNub reply :

FROGS FROGS FROGS!

greatoutdoors reply :

Believe it or not, Wal Mart buzzbaits. They are $1 and usually on the bottom rack. Buy a few, not all of them spin correctly. Because of that, I found that by bending the blades at more of an angle, some of them will make a wicked loud whistling noise and when I could get that to happen, watch out baby, those bass get mad as hell.

bilgerat reply :

Rapala originals, straight and jointed

Another vote for the 'lowly' Pop R :

I had found a Pop R at the lake that someone had lost. All of the color had been bleached away by the elements, leaving it an off white color that resembles ivory. Replaced the hooks and split rings, now it's an absolute killer. I just may stock up on a few and hang them on the fence for the summer so I will always have one.

Olebiker reply :

I have caught more bass on a buzz bait than all other topwater lures combined, but I really like fishing a Devil's Horse.

The wooden version of these were excellent. But are hard to get now the lure collectors are buying them.
