Where's the love for the Rebel Pop-R?  Can't I get a second that?

X2! I actually mentioned it earlier. Seems we are in the minority there!

I just bought a rebel pop-r and a super spook jr. about4 hours ago. I cant wait to get to fish them in a larger body of water.

I thought there would be more love for the Devil's Horse. Amazing topwater. This bait caught me a $200 fish today. Bass can't stand this lure and hit it because it is annoying.

Arbogast Hula Popper  

Also, already mentioned was the Pop-R... you definitely need a few of those.... I assumed this bait was a given....

Couple of old school lures if you can get your hands on cheaply....

A Billy Bass Top-water- silver.. hard to find, but well worth the $

Powerpack Shad- white/blue .... this is such an ugly ridiculous lure but drives the bass nuts.......hard to find and usually pricey.....

Regular plastic worm- no sinker texas rigged.... reel it slowly on top over moss- thru trees and thru lilly pads....

This technique is deadly on summer bass and works best in calm conditions.........

You can also use this with a little styrafoam worm weight.... but put the weight on backwards...... and pop the weight to attract the bass....

Make sure you have a 1 to 2 foot leader with the worm trailing behind..... Also, I put a glass bead right behind the weight for more noise......... then the swivel... then the leader, then the 3/0 hook and worm.......

Sounds crazy, but don't knock it till you tried it...................

Once you have their attention you'll get massive strikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sold on this technique after my Dad landed a 8.8 lb Bigmouth on the rig..........

X3 Pop-R's are my favorite popper, the are awesome

I also thought I'd mention the Lucky Craft Sammy, expensive but worth it IMO

my favorite top water is a chug bug, i like the ones with a orange belly plus they weigh enough to cast far
