I'm looking for a small (1.75"-2.5") topwater lure that can be casted a good distance.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I've had success with rapala skitter props and heddon tiny torpedos 8-)

Zara Puppy.

This might be the most productive topwater lure you will ever fish,

but it's a "numbers" lure. I have never caught anything big on the

Puppy.

The color you want is the Black Shiner:

If you have an Academy near you, their H20 Express popper is pretty easy to cast and I've had good luck with it.

Easy to cast? Although not my favorite of small baits the Yo-Zuri banana boat jr. WILL cast 2 country miles with ease due to the magnetic weight transfer.

Can't beat a Tiny Torpedo or a Crazy Shad.

caught this gal on one!!

It's going to sound crazy... but for me, Bass Pro Shops XPS Pro Series poppers are the best top water poppers I've used.

Xcalibur Popper for me, or a chug bug.

What they heck, buy all the suggested ones, and have a sweet topwater box...for all situations!

There are some cool lure listed.

Kinda amazing how we get pigeon holed into the baits we have confidence in.

What if...we tried another top water first, would we try all the others, or just stick with a select few?

HUM?

Which ever one we put the most time in on will be our favorites.

Tiny Torpedo, puppy spook and buy extra!
