so your topwater fishing and one blows up and misses your lure. what do you guys do? throw the same thing back at it? throw something different at it? if you throw something else what lures do you like?

I quickly reach down and grab the weightless Fluke or Trickworm sitting at my feet. It's the best topwater follow-up that I've found.

I just throw the same lure.  As long as the fish didn't feel it on the first bite, there is good chance he'll bite again.

We placed 2nd in a tournament and got big fish by throwing jig-n-pigs after a blowup on a frog.  I was frogman, partner was jigman.  Fishing heavy slop and pads, the typical senko or fluke wouldn't even break the mat.  The jig has a slow enough fall with the bulky trailer and was hit EVERY time after a missed frog strike.

(It probably also helps to use a greenish colour for the jig and trailer, as it looks like an injured frog heading for the bottom!)
