Hi. I am new to this forum, so be nice. Lol.

I saw a post about the head in super spook Junior. Some thing about a clear bottom white bottom nickel sides gold sides whatever and knowing that the fish can’t see the top of the lure I’m not finding anything with clear bottoms but silver bottoms white bottoms with orange spots red spots so I’m trying to find out first off they don’t have that exact clear bottom thing at Walmart I don’t even know what I’m looking for but I would like to know more about these and if this is the best top water Lewers to smash some bass with. It seems like it gets good reviews. I cannot find the other post about it. Please

Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

For walking baits my confidence color is bone.

Heddon is the brand.  They’ve got several different versions of their “Spook” line, all of which are a solid choice.  There are a few other brands with very similar lures though - I’ve been having great luck with a Yo Zuri Pencil Popper and there’s the Berkley J-Walker… and several others, I’m sure.  Bone seems to be a go-to color, especially if your fish are chasing shad.  But I don’t think the color is super critical at the start - grab one you like the look of and go get a feel for it.  Topwater is a ton of fun.

 

Unless you’re looking for lottery tickets or the bathroom, you won’t get much help at Walmart.  Try googling up a local fishing store and head in there.  Tell them you’d like to try a spook/walking bait and they should be able to provide some suggestions on what they have available. ?

Welcome to BR

 First off, if you're new to topwater fishing, a Spook is a poor choice to start with as it takes a while to learn how to work it. It isn't a cast an crank back type of lure.

 That fish can't see the sides of a topwater lure is a myth. They are rarely directly beneath the lure and depending on how the lure is worked, most often the sides are exposed at some point. There are quite a few posts here about lure colors and how important they are. You can do a search and read up if you like.

Depending on the water clarity, any belly color can be productive. The clearer the water, the lighter the bottom color is a fairly good guideline.  You can find clear bottoms on some lures, but most of those are clear bodied, or at the least opaque. White and bone are the ones you'll see most often as far as light colors go, but yellow and chartreuse also work under low light conditions.  Many of those will have a different color toward the nose of the bait, or spots, but as long as there is a predominate color, let that be your deciding factor when purchasing.

 In bass fishing, there are always exceptions and with topwaters, black is the one you'll hear most often. My 2nd most productive color for a Spook is black and I throw it in super clear water under sunny skies.

If you're new to top water I would suggest just a chuck and wind type bait for now like a Whopper Plopper (or the cheaper version made by Berkley called the Choppo). For colors I'd stick to 3 basic types...Bone, Black and a Ghost type (translucent). Next year when you have more time you can learn the walk the dog technique and try out some Spook style baits.
