Why these fit

These are all true bass wake baits built to fish the surface or just under it, which is exactly what you want for a bass topwater wake bait search.

Bass Mafia Hitman Wake Bait 3.6" is a strong all-around choice with a floating profile, waking action, and a good mix of size and commotion.
Bomber Jointed Wake Minnow Wakebait is a more affordable option that still gives a clean V-wake and extra side-to-side movement.
Sammy's Bait Shop Bluegill/Crappie Wake or Crank Down is a good pick when bass are keyed on bluegill or crappie and you want a more realistic shallow-water presentation.
8 UP FISHING Dis-Gruntled Wake (Threat-fin Shad) is a bigger, wider-waking bait for calm water and low-light periods.
Bull Shad Swimbaits Bull Wake is the premium big-profile option if you want maximum surface disturbance.

Technique notes

Cast to shallow flats, points, banks, laydowns, and open-water bait activity.
Retrieve steadily so the bait tracks just under or across the surface and leaves a visible wake.
Add short pauses or speed changes to trigger followers.
In calm water, keep the bait high and consistent; in slight ripple, a wider wake can help.
If bass are inspecting but not committing, try a more subtle wake like Sammy's Bait Shop Bluegill/Crappie Wake or Crank Down.

When to switch

Switch away from a wake bait if bass are not looking up, if wind gets too strong, or if fish are holding deeper than the surface zone. In those cases, a subsurface swimbait, spinnerbait, or shallow crankbait may be a better choice. If fish are blowing up but missing, a smaller or less aggressive topwater may outfish a big wake bait.
