    Black buzzbait, don't really care what kind if it's just a general "What's your favorite", question. If I was going to be more specific, a 1/2oz black Cavitron with the red or black blade, or a 3/4oz

Never used one of those. Looking at LC website it looks like a similar lure to the megabass popmax. Might have to try one. I like LC crankbaits

Both are walking baits but the Gunfish has a popR style mouth.

I seen it has the chamber and tail weight like the popmax has. Guessing It spits more than the popmax if it has a pop r style mouth?

Oddly enough, its a 6 inch worm. I've probably caught more bass on a worm run over shallow grass and pads than any other bait. Its the best lure on hot summer mornings. Only problem is the pickerel like it too. 

Whopper. Plopper. Close second would be spro frog.

Top topwater lures of all time:

1. Excalibur Zell Rowland Pop-R

2. Storm Chug bug

3. Excalibur super spook

4. Spro Frog

5. Whopper Plopper 110 - Quickly shooting up the list.

I grew up on the jitterbug, so that would have to be my all-time favorite.  After that is booyah poppin pad crasher and lunkhunt popping frogs, which were my biggest producers this last summer.  I'm also a big fan of spooks, and just started using whopper ploppers...I'd have to say the whopper plopper is my favorite now in terms of action/versatility.

As usual I don't have a lot to bring to the table on this since I only started trying a little bass fishing last year after a 55 year hiatus, but the topwater that I've caught the most on would have been the Hula Popper back in the early 60's.  My best recent success for topwater is a BPS brand which doesn't seem to be available any more, with the slit just back of the lip for water to squirt out of. (I bought these about 6 years ago for fishing salt water tide channels for mutton snapper in the Bahamas, and glad I got 6 of each)  I caught my first bass in more than 50 years on the one in the top right of this photo at a little lake lake outside of Eldora, IA called Pine Lake, and I caught several more from a couple of small ponds here near my house.

1  Rebel pop-r

2  Jitterbug

3 LC Sammy

For many, many years it was a Cavitron buzzbait. But the Jackall Pompadour has moved into my number one spot. Honorable mention to the Sammy and the Pop-Max.

See a lot of people like buzzbaits. I’ve never caught a fish on one. Might have to give them another try

get yourself a black 1/4 oz Cavitron buzzbait. 

1) Heddon Super Spook Jr (saltwater version) in Red Head

2) 3/8 black Cavitron Buzzbait

3) Rebel Pop-R

(Honorable mention) Whopper Plopper. I had success with mine last year, but didn't fish it a ton. So it's hard to be a favorite. Although it was a lot of fun.
