If you want heart-pounding topwater excitement, these are the strongest surface options in the set. The Boss Brent Ehrler Amphibian Buzzbait is the best pure “make them explode” choice for bass around shallow cover, with a loud buzzing topwater profile. The Sammy is the best walking bait here for calm-water surface strikes and visible blowups. The Blitz Buzz Phrog™ and Blitz Buzz Phrog™ G2 blend buzzbait and frog traits, so they’re strong when you want surface commotion over grass, pads, or other cover.
Switch away from topwater if fish are missing short, the surface is too rough, or bass are holding deeper than the surface zone. In those cases, move to subsurface moving baits or a slower presentation. If fish want a quieter, more subtle look, the Sammy is usually better than a loud buzzbait-style bait.
