Why these fit

These are all strong bass reaction-strike options on the surface. The G-Ratt Baits Popping Frog 2.3" Topwater Bass Frog Lure is best when bass are shallow around heavy cover and you want pop, chug, and pause. The Brazalo Custom Lures M1 Pro Buzzbait – Premium Topwater Buzzbait is a classic search bait for steady surface commotion. The Bass Mafia Hitman adds a louder, more chaotic topwater profile for fish holding tight to cover. The Bagley Balsa Wake 1 Wakebait is a good shallow-water search lure when you want a subtler wake. The BigfootZombie Custom Lures 6-inch Rat Plopper is a bigger-profile option for low-light surface feeding and wake strikes.

Technique notes

• Frogs: cast into mats, pads, reeds, timber, and pockets; pop or walk it, then pause over openings.
• Buzzbaits: keep a steady retrieve just fast enough to stay on top; use along grass lines, flats, and cover.
• Wakebaits and ploppers: retrieve slow to moderate for a wake, or speed up to cover water and trigger followers.
• If bass are missing the bait, pause longer or downsize to a subtler surface presentation like the wakebait.

When to switch

Switch away from topwater when bass stop showing on the surface, the water gets too rough for clean tracking, or they are deeper than the surface zone. In those cases, a subsurface search bait, jig, or soft plastic will usually get more bites than a reaction topwater.
