buzz
nothing is better than that late evening slightly choppy water over some stumps with a booyah buzz bait and a huge bass slams the bait. just rember to wait for the pull then set the hook.

Mine is a buzz bait but i don't like the booyah b/c i fish the pads alot and the arm doesn't come out far enough to keep me from hooking them often.....cabela's and wally world make good cheap buzz baits...but the wally world ones will break after a couple of weeks of heavy use.

basstastic, i've never broken a wallmart buzzbait.. i've acutally re-shaped the wires on both making opposite baits.. a buzz from a spinner and vice versa..
it didnt exactly work, but it made a cool looking bait and worked.

Heddon Torpedo....you can reverse the props if you want more commotion.....not always necessary, but there if you want it. Also, going to Sally Beauty Supply and buying a bottle of nail polish, the PRO brand in the Mango Color......using it to paint the entire body of a torpedo is a great topwater for early spring to early summer.....just something different they probably haven't seen.......can be very effective.

I have caught most of my topwaters on spooks and poppers.
Not much of a bite down here when the sun comes up. I love getting the blood flowing early in the morning when it is quiet and you hear that splash. Brute |

Hey weezymagic,
I have been fishing a lot on Lake Tarpon. My brother lives on the lake and he is kinda my fishing partner. Been on that lake every weekend since the first of July when I finally got my first boat. Looking to expand my horizons in the future, but still catching quite a few there. Brute |

Roland Martin's helicopter lure,. It was actually outlawed at one point cuz it caught 3 times more bass than live bait.
Also propbaits, spooks, pop-rs. Topwater fishing is old, many of the very first bas s lures were topwater designs. Not been too many huge advancements - although I sometimes twitch flukes on the surface (super fast retrieve to keep it up top and get reaction strikes) and some people swear by the rage toads.

hmm, that's a tough one! I've caught more bass on ribbit frog than any other top water bait.. but with the new rage tail baits, I dunno. It would be a tie between ribbits, and rage toads and shads. Next would be s buzzbait.... probably a a boohay.
