I've found that if they're hitting topwater then it really doesn't matter what you're throwing.

That said, a soft plastic jerkbait is my favorite to throw, because they'll hit that even if they aren't hitting anything else. Zoom or DOA, but recently almost exclusively DOA as they hold up a lot better

I know you know I don’t do a lot of saltwater fishing, but I own a few skitter walks and really like them.

ETA: I’ve used them to catch bass, too.

I disagree. Some days they go bannanas for a high pitch She Dog. Some days you want the low solid thud of a Spook one-knocker.

I keep She Pups, She Dogs, Skitter Walks, Yo Zuri, and Spooks.

I find the skitterwalk is the best all around

95% of the time I am throwing a Skitterwalk bone/chartreuse or Red Head She Pup.

Yeah, I'm a Skitterwalk guy.

Holographic, bone, silver/black, pink.

But after about 3 good years of outfishing my boat companions on specks from '14-'16, I have had very little success.

Mostly due to it being bad years, but most recently, the conditions haven't been cooperative on the days I can make it out there.

Spooks, but they are now considered racist. Buy em up while you can.

She dog, she pup, or matrix mullet depending on the wind. Is there some kind of super secret top water sale I need to know about?

She Dog for me most of the time. I've got a few with barely a lick of paint left of them. My favorite is a chrome one.

Can sling that MFer a mile too.

I like a super spook and a spitn image the best.

Pro tip- the hook on Zara spooks and super spooks are soft soft these days. Upgrade them
