just got one and im wonderin if i should try them on a weed flat or on the ooutside edge weeds or a small dropoff

Yes.   

All of the above!!

You may want to look at a video of "walking the dog" and practice the retrieve anywhere along a break line.

Anywhere you can get away with using something that has treble hooks.  If the fish are on a good topwater bite, they can be a fantastic lure.

In my opinion, if you can master the "walking" there is NO top water lure better than the spook.

I  have had great luck with BPS's now discontinued TopKnocker, even better than the Spook for me. don't understand why they stopped selling them, everybody I have talked to liked 'em.   :-?

I love my spooks but i just got a lunker punker for free. Haven't used it yet but it looks awesome.

Which size punker..also, is the wood, or injected one..?

I have a wood 9" punker, the action is crazy good..

it's the 5" plastic one, it was free when i subscribe to bass angler magazine.

Cool...free is always a good thang..

Try it everywhere
