Other than the popper in blk/chrome, blue/silver or tenn. shad, zoom toads in blk/yllw swirl, or buzz baits in white or green/chart work for me. You will find lots like the zooms, they are a fav of a few around here. Lol

Zara Spook, Chug Bug, Frogs-hollow and plastic.

Rage tail toad and the Cavitron buzzbait are my 2 favorite. The Cavitron is outstanding. If you haven't tried one I would HIGHLY recommend doing so. I haven't bought any other buzzbait in 4 years.

A spook, Spro popping frog 75, devils horse, plastic "buzzin" toad (horny toad/JDs/rage, etc), and a pop-R will cover most the bases for you down here.

I'm a big fan of the cavitron also. The Zell pop is my favorite popper by a long shot. I'm starting to like the Spro popping frog more and more too. I doubt you'll find the Cavitron at Bass Pro, we have 2 close by and neither one has ever carried them.

That takes some guts to admit on a public forum. Lol

I don't think bps has Cavitron. I have only found them at dicks sporting goods or online.

Hey, what's wrong with a big, black Jitterbug??? It's my favorite too!

What's the deal with these Cavitrons, why are they everyone's favorite?

Cavitrons are the slowest retrieving single blade buzzbait out there and make a wonderful squeaking noise right out of the box.

Look at that fat basstid-- I wasnt talking about the fish--LOL

There are many ways to catch bass at night. Big worms -Jigs- spinnerbaits with colorodo blades for more vibration. I try to stay away from trebble (trouble) hooks at night. One wrong move landing it and its a trip to the ER.. Go try different baits to become a more well rounded angler -No pun intended -

Experiment and let the fish tell you how they want the baits presented. Sometimes I cant buy a bite on a top water biut throw a worm and ya clean up.

I would have to say for me, in no particular order; Rebel pop-R, Smithwick Devils Horse, Zara Spook, Floating Rapala or Bagleys Bang-o-Lure and over grass or moss a Snagproof frog.

Spro Bronze Eye Frog is my current favorite.

my lakes get extremely thick with veg so my favorite is the Spro tropical white popper. i've caught so many fish on it thats its hands down my favorite...or the standard tropical white spro jr...

I know several ponds near that are extremely thick in veg, I will have to give this a try. thanks.

Buzzbaits, poppers, and frogs.

My favorite is a black buzzbait at night and a popper in the morning and evening.

For a popper, I prefer the Yellow Magic or the Zel-pop. Both are outstanding.
