recommendations for a nice topwater? 2024
FishingMastah1 reply :
Topwaters are cool baits. I use zoom horny toads but I cant cast them on my nice new BC reel. I mean I could use my spinning but I dont want too. So could anyone give me a nice topwater that I could nicely cast on a baitcasting reel that gives some good action and good results? Thanks

You need to invest in a few super spooks....try getting one white one and one black one. These things will cast your line all the way off your spool. I have had some of the best topwater action on spooks.

I'll second that.

These look nice for gettin some topwater action. So I need to learn the walk to dog. Shouldnt be to hard. Is the Super Spook Jr. What im looking for for a nice cast and action? And how bout the feathers? http://www.lurenet.com/catalog.aspx?catID=SuperSpook
frank4747 reply :
The super spook jr. is the same bait just a bit smaller and different colors, i believe the jr. also has rattles in it as well. Walking the dog is very easy, once you cast it out there you use jerks with the rod while keeping a lil bit of slack in the line in a constant motion, this allows the bait to zig zag back and forth. Once you fish it for couple minutes you'll get it down, it's some of the easiest fishing and has been known to hook people on bass fishing for life!

And hook some of the biggest fish in the lake!

Do you think you can cast a big jitterbug? Amazing topwater if you didn't already know

Joel W reply :
For topwater lures my preference is Super Spook jrs and Cavitron Buzzbaits. If I'm working weeds that are right on the surface I go with a Super Fluke or a Horny Toad.
As for casting a Horny Toad with a Baitcaster, it shouldn't be a problem. I do it all the time.

Smaller sizes of Mirrolure
Rebel Crickhopper Popper
JayDub reply :
Yea, I don't understand why you cannot cast a Horny Toad with your baitcaster? You should be able to fine...
BirdNestBen reply :
I like the super spook but you might try the original Zara Spook... it's bigger and you'll attract bigger bass....
I like the Stanley Ribbit Frog... it fishes like a buzzbait- and is virtually weedless....
Having said all that a fluke, senko, sluggo texas rigged weightless is real hard to beat.....
NinjaFishin reply :
I'm a big fan of the rebel pop R. I find its just the right size for me. It's not too small to where I cant cast it, and its not too big to ward off the medium sized bass. I'd also recommend a Bill Dance topwater popper if for some reason a rebel pop-r isnt working for you, however it is rather large and wont get attention from smaller fish.
Getcha some links here:

and the bill dance popper

well that bill dance popper doesnt seem to be exactly like mine, maybe abit smaller, which I'd say is better. but its close enough

There is something wrong with your setup then? I can sling a weightless zoom toad on a 7' heavy action BC with 65lb braid further than most other lures on other rods.
As far as other topwters a popper, buzzbait, walking bait are all you need.

Buy yourself a Rico. They are somewhat light and may be a little difficult to cast on a baitcaster but it is definitely one topwater that everyone should own.

Lucky Craft Sammy 115
Zip Baits US Irony
Jackall Bonnie 128
Jackson Lee Pop
These baits all walk the the dog with ease. The Jackson Lee Pop I tried just recently and it has amazing action. I will walk the dog an also spit water. You can also fish it like a popper. Very versatile bait!
bilgerat reply :
Get yourself a Yo- Zuri Pin's Minnow. There is a cavity inside that houses two ball bearings that serve two purposes :
1) On the cast, inertia forces the balls to the rear of the cavity, resulting in great casting distance.
2) On the retrieve, the balls act as rattles.
They cost a few bucks more, but they are a fantastic topwater plug.

The Yo-Zuri Pin's Minnow is a jerkbait.
bilgerat reply :
You callin' me a jerk ? It still catches a ton of fish.

X2! I actually mentioned it earlier. Seems we are in the minority there!
FishingMastah1 reply :
I just bought a rebel pop-r and a super spook jr. about4 hours ago. I cant wait to get to fish them in a larger body of water.

I thought there would be more love for the Devil's Horse. Amazing topwater. This bait caught me a $200 fish today. Bass can't stand this lure and hit it because it is annoying.

Arbogast Hula Popper
BirdNestBen reply :
Also, already mentioned was the Pop-R... you definitely need a few of those.... I assumed this bait was a given....
Couple of old school lures if you can get your hands on cheaply....
A Billy Bass Top-water- silver.. hard to find, but well worth the $
Powerpack Shad- white/blue .... this is such an ugly ridiculous lure but drives the bass nuts.......hard to find and usually pricey.....
Regular plastic worm- no sinker texas rigged.... reel it slowly on top over moss- thru trees and thru lilly pads....
This technique is deadly on summer bass and works best in calm conditions.........
You can also use this with a little styrafoam worm weight.... but put the weight on backwards...... and pop the weight to attract the bass....
Make sure you have a 1 to 2 foot leader with the worm trailing behind..... Also, I put a glass bead right behind the weight for more noise......... then the swivel... then the leader, then the 3/0 hook and worm.......
Sounds crazy, but don't knock it till you tried it...................
Once you have their attention you'll get massive strikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was sold on this technique after my Dad landed a 8.8 lb Bigmouth on the rig..........

X3 Pop-R's are my favorite popper, the are awesome
I also thought I'd mention the Lucky Craft Sammy, expensive but worth it IMO
I fish reply :
my favorite top water is a chug bug, i like the ones with a orange belly plus they weigh enough to cast far
