Why these fit

For explosive topwater bites, these are the strongest surface options in the set. The Evergreen Bone SB 125 15th Anniversary Topwater Plug and Evergreen Amazon Pencil Walking Bait are best when you want big, loud walk-the-dog action that calls fish up from distance. The Yo-Zuri Pro Series Popper 70mm adds pop-and-splash versatility for baitfish commotion. The Strike King Bitsy Chickin and Damiki Umpa 40 BFS Topwater Popper are better when fish are pressured, schooling, or keyed on smaller forage.

Technique notes

• Use the walkers with sharp twitches and pauses to create a side-to-side cadence and surface spit.
• Work the poppers with short pops, then pause long enough for following fish to commit.
• Around calm to lightly rippled water, keep the retrieve crisp but not rushed.
• If bass are missing the bait, downsize to the compact poppers and slow the pause.
• For the biggest blowups, fish open water, points, and edges of bait activity early and late.

When to switch

Switch to a subtler wake bait or a different depth when fish follow but won’t eat, or when wind and chop make surface tracking difficult. If bass are not showing on top, a subsurface bait or slower presentation will usually outproduce a loud topwater. For pike or musky, move to the Savage Gear prop baits instead.
