Hey jigfishn10,is that a SK tri-buzz? If you haven't tried one yet,i'm sure you'll like it..Love my cavitrons,but i had a cheap old,beat up tri-wing sitting in the truck that i put a new black/gold skirt on one bored lunch break..

last summer i was walking the banks of my favorite lake one VERY foggy,pea-soup evening on a last minute decision and only had a few lures in my truck at the time and put that sucker on and slammed some of the best bass of my entire season. Gives off a slow and low plopping sound!

It is an old SK Buzz King Blade, but I made it on a different head. I couldn't find any more blades online, so I made a couple of more blades in different colors. You can't have just one, right? LOL

Thanks for the feedback, I'm looking forward to fishing this, for sure!

Swimbait style - 3:16 Wake Jr and 9" MS Slammer

Poppers - Excalibur Zell Pop & Yellow Magic for waking erratic retrieves

Heddon ( old Excalibur ) - slow retrieve with that bloop sound

Walikng - R.I. Vixen - really ticks them off

original Zara Spook - early moring quiet retrieve over calm water

Lucky Craft Gunfish - walks and pops, does everything well. Can fish it slow & subtle or fast & erratic. Awesome bait

I can't believe that in 34 replies, no one has mentioned the mighty Jitterbug.

Am I that old?

BUZZBAIT

I am with 00 Mod..... the classics

JItterbug

Popper (chug bug, Hula Popper)

Torpedo

Lots of people on here dislike the torpedo and say it catches dinks...... I will hapily catch just about any fish, large or small, jumping up and wacking a topwater. I also think it produces a large fish it buzzes right past.

Those picks made me go straight to a storage box and move the old Devil's Horse from storage to in the box..... Torpedo might have to take a back seat.

Without a doubt my favorite is the Heddon Torpedo. I've caught so many bass with this bait and a fair number of bluegill. You can fish it slow with occassional twitches or fast like a buzzbait.

The Ragetail Shad! I've caught more fish on the RT Shad than any other topwater lure. You can fish it through thick grass or brush, and it gets BIG fish!

The very old Pfluger wooden popper. Only have a few left.

Heddon Pop'n Image. You can walk the dog or fish it like a normal popper.

Just got to be, positively, hollow body frogs

Rapala Skitterpop #7 Lime Frog. Followed closely by rage shad, 1/4 ounce cavitron buzzbait, and a frog colored spook jr.

That's a darn good one too. Can't wait to try the new X - rap popper too.
