Whats Your Favorite Weedless Topwater Lure?? 2024


fishing user avatarbigbill reply : 

The first year me and my sons got into bass fishing one spring after trout fishing only for many years it wasn't until the weeds grew that tried to stop us till we regrouped and did some research into the weedless baits. Our success continued even when the weeds were out of control. My point is never let the weeds stop us from fishing and send us home a beaten fisherman, fisherwoman. We can beat the weeds with the right stuff.

My favorite weedless lures are;

1. Mister twister top prop (slow reel, reel / pause, pause presentations)

2. mepps timber doodle (just drop it into the weed pockets and let it do its thing as it falls, let it dance baby dance)

3. Plastic grub on a jig head (2" or 3" in size and yellow, white, milktruese or chartruese in color)

4. Spinnerbaits (fished fast enough so the blade slaps the topwater)

5. weedless winged spoons

Do you have any i didn't list???

Heddon Moss Boss, it is a fantastic bait!! After that it is a Scum Frog, gotta love them!


fishing user avatarDave P reply : 

Frogs and money hounds. I got a lot of hits on money hounds the one time I've used them, but haven't hooked up good yet but I see the potential for sure.

Tough to say, I hate fishing topwater, probably my least desirable way to fish. If I must, I'll be throwing a Rage Toad, Shad, or a Gunts Frog.


fishing user avatarnew2BC4bass reply : 

I've mostly fished a 10 inch worm weedless (and weightless), but plan on trying several other baits this year. Junebug seems to be my favorite color.


fishing user avatarSirSnookalot reply : 

My best success is a weedless rigged fluke, any brand, I buy zooms for freshwater because Walmart is open 24 hours and the tackle stores don't open until 9.


fishing user avatarbigbill reply : 

Only one worm fished topwater.

I purchased some floating worms but never tried them yet.

Flukes I've got, but hadn't considered fishing them on top. Same thing for tubes. What little I have fished tubes has been on the bottom. No idea why either wouldn't work on the top. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

I absolutely LOVE topwater. It's such a rush when they hit the lure, it's awesome.

I catch all my fish on Rapala Shallow Shad Rap's. Shad color. Obviously it's not weedless, but I love it.

I've been trying Zoom Super Flukes, having no luck at all using texas rig, weightless on #4 hook... It's rated 4.9 of 5 stars with 235 reviews. I haven't had one bite.

I've tried the Pearl White, Watermelon Seed, and Arkansas Shiner. Mostly Watermelon.

Flukes and/or Space Monkeys. The SM over grass'll change your life.


fishing user avatarjeb2 reply : 

Zoom Horny Toad works well too.


fishing user avatarbwell reply : 

I have never done well with the rage fogs(with hook ups), but thats just because I couldnt get them to run right side up. I purchased some keel weighted hooks and will be trying them again this year...

Spro frog, and fluke are both great in grass. Drop the fluke into a whole in the grass and hold on!


fishing user avatarScorcher214 reply : 

Flukes and rage craws. I use hollow body frogs but, have only caught a handful of fish on them.

Here's the hooking instructions for the Rage Toad to make it run upright everytime... works on all toads and other top water soft plastics as well.

X2. I would take a Bobby's Perfect Buzz Frog over a regular Buzzbait though.Check out his You Tube video, that thing is like having a four wheelin rig to go through the slop.

fishing user avatarAvalonjohn44 reply : 

I love the Lunker City salad spoon. It's been around for years and is often overlooked. Great bait. It is a more subtle version of the rage shad.

Fluke you can fish super fast and let it drop in open pockets when working grass and mats. Plus I get tired of walking baits. After a while it messes with my wrist from snapping the rod 10,000 times in a day.

This is exactly what i use for topwater weedless. Also try texas rigged plastics such as a senko, or a ribbontail worm.


fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

Rage shad and hollow frogs.

Rage Toad

Spro Poppin Frog

If its dead calm, a Lizard rigged weightless on top can be DEADLY!!
