Why these fit
If you want crushing topwater explosions, these are the strongest surface options in the set.
- Heddon Crazy Crawler Walking Bait is built for loud, commotion-heavy strikes on the surface. Its crawling, plopping action is ideal when bass are aggressive and willing to blow up on a bait.
- Xcite Baits Villain Topwater is a versatile topwater for popping, walking, and pausing. It’s a good choice when fish want a more natural presentation but you still want explosive hits.
- SPRO Rat Wakebait is best when bass are tracking larger prey near shallow cover, banks, docks, or vegetation edges. The wake and walk-the-dog style can draw big surface strikes.
- Invasive Custom Lures and Baits Swamp Walker is the cover-fishing option. It’s designed for matted vegetation and heavy shallow cover where fish ambush prey.
Technique notes
- For the Heddon Crazy Crawler Walking Bait, use a steady retrieve to keep the wings churning and the bait wobbling across the top.
- For the Xcite Baits Villain Topwater, try subtle twitches, short walks, and pauses to let fish commit.
- For the SPRO Rat Wakebait, fish it on calm to lightly rippled water with a steady walk-the-dog cadence.
- For the Swamp Walker, work it slowly over cover with occasional erratic twitches to trigger ambush bites.
When to switch
- Switch to a frog like Swamp Walker when the water is choked with vegetation or you need to fish tight cover.
- Switch to the SPRO Rat Wakebait when bass are keying on bigger surface prey or cruising shallow edges.
- Switch to the Xcite Baits Villain Topwater when fish are pressured and want a subtler topwater.
- If bass stop blowing up on topwater, move to subsurface or slower presentations until they re-activate.
