There's really no point to this post, just bought a couple more and figured I share. ;) What's your "Go To" for topwater?

Looking good,who makes them?

I'm just starting to fish topwater this year.It's a goal of mine.

I use a combination of: Skitter Walks,Sputterbuzz, couple of the newer Hendon Sway back  Spooks,Spittin Images, and my 2 favs Jittersticks and this guy THE BLACK JITTERBUG:

THE BLACK JITTERBUG:

Classic!

Those Sway Back's look very nice as well!  Haven't tried one yet...

and yes, these are the Chug Bug's!  Drive's the fish here crazy and the strike is usually pretty impressive.  Catch Largemouths and Peacocks on them...

I use the Chug Bug all the time one of my favs.  Latly been use the LC Sammy alot.  Need to get back to Bugging!!

I have read a lot about the Black Jitterbug for night fishing,,I have fished 5 night tourney over the last few years and have yet to get a strike on.  I will keep trying thou.

My go to is the Lucky Craft G-Splash. Over the winter after reading different posts on Bass Resource, I bought some Daiwa TD Mouthwash and MegaBass Pop Max topwater lures.

My go-to topwater is a Gaines (used to be Worden's) Crippled Killer.   I also like the Rapala Skitter Pop, and last year my new favorite became the Scum frog.

When the topwater bite is on, bass will hit a bobber on a string if it's properly worked

A Caviron Buzzbait. I caught my PB on one.

I am not much of a topwater guy but I catch a fair share on a Manns swimmin toad. I also do very good with a weightless tube bait, twitched like you would a spook, in the walk-the-dog fashion. The difference between the tube and the spook is that you can fish the tube much slower and when it sits the tentacles move slowly. ;)

For me it's the Zara Spook. I'm going to be giving my new Sammy a good work-out this season though.

I thought those were made by Norman, but I have not seen one in years. Yes they work, especially on schooling fish. When worked in front a topwater bait you can occasionally catch a double. I still have a few that I have had for years, did not know they were still available..............AL
