Well I'll put it this way I was one of those guys that rode to the lake with a buzzbait attached to the truck's antenna!

 

I’ve always did the best with poppers, but I’ve got some whopper ploppers on order…. We’ll the knock offs but I’d thought I’d give them a try. 

I'm going to go with Pop-R.  It seems to change, almost every two months.  And it does always seem like one is vastly outperforming all of the others.  The Spook, the Torpedo, and buzzbaits are up there as pretty heavily used.  But the Pop-R is probably the one that's ever so slightly ahead of the others in the number of times that it's been effective over the last 30 years.

Guys like you are exactly where I learned about that little trick, and I have been known to make use of it myself over the years, but I also have to admit that I thought y'all were cuckoo for cocoa puffs the first few times I saw it until a guy I was fishing with fairly regularly broke down why it worked and showed me just how many more fish a worked in one caught that a new out of the package one.
