Topwater fishing is by far my favorite technique to catch big bass.  What is everyone's favorite wake bait and color for trophy-sized bass?

Black MS Slammer Mini. Or 9 inch Slammer. Go big or go home.

Roumba, Ima. frog pattern.

Mini or 7" slammers in black, g2 shellcracker in redear and 316 baby wake and wake jrs in shad or sissy are my favorites

Strike King Wake Shad get no love but are really good wake baits. They float on pause and you can twitch it like an injured fish. $20 retail but cheap on ebay.

Hard to pick just one. I like different baits for different situations. These are the baits I use the most. 9in Slammer, BBZ 1, Wake Jr and a rat bait my brother makes.

Manns Waker elite in rootbeer chartreuse, Aurora black, or baby bass, these are the best wake baits ever made IMO. I only had 2 baits left, a friend of mine had 2 I gave him one day when I was crushing the fish on it and I lost another to a huge Musky. I was in a panic and not knowing what else to do I called Manns bait company and talked to a wonderful rep who told me they did have some old stock left and in the colors I wanted so I got 8 more, now I don't have to worry. Seriously though, the Waker is awesome because you can burn it and it only goes like 3" under and all you see on the surface is a bulge and then a swirl and then you feel the rod trying to be pulled from you hands....It is an awesome way to catch bass and a very overlooked presentation, if you can find them try them, you won't be sorry!!

Buckeye Wake Up, I'll definitely be trying the Deps and the Mann's for sure though.

I have a few more the rago generic rat is awesome but hard to find so i dont throw mine that much. also the rapala dt1fat in ikes smash color gets used a lot in my boat

Can you not purchase the Rago rats at all anymore?

The delta rat sewer rat and i think there's a injected rat but its hard to come by now are the only ones in production now the original i got from ebay for 50 bucks a year ago i think there's one on there now for 90$. another popular oneis the 22nd century nezumma rat but they go for serious coin as they are discontinued. you could look at morning wood lures they have a good rat bait also

Buzzjet and G2 shellcracker
