If there isnt a ton of cover I like the Rattlin Rogue.Ive always been able to catch fish with it.My dad fished with it alot when I was growing up so Im kinda partial to it.

I've gotten more bites/strikes on a ribbit than any other topwater but the hook up ratio is terrible.
I bought one of these last year and it spent the pretty much the whole time tracking on its back.

I have one but have not caught enough fish to justify that purchase.

In choppy open water a walking bait such as a spook. In dead calm water nothing better than a popper. In shallow grass on surface areas Ribbitt w braid shines like no other....Never use fluorocarbon for topwater(it sinks) I always use mono .And always tie a loop knot for maximum action.......

For short range strike zone like pad edges - Pop-R.
For a bit longer ranges - Chug-Bug.
For covering water and for schoolies - Spook Jr.
There are times fish want a prop bait. I have some ditties, torpedos and some other stuff for that. I really miss topwater fishing.
Killed the schoolies last year on a really small clear chug bug. On sale right now at Acad for like $1.99.
