Technique notes

• For buzzbaits like G-Ratt Baits Proper Buzz and Great Outdoors Shops Dual Blade Buzzbait – High-Flash Topwater Buzz, use a steady retrieve so the blade stays engaged and churns the surface.
• For prop baits like Smithwick Devil's Horse Propbait and Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Prop, try stop-and-go or short twitches to make the props spit and wobble.
• Teckel USA Chopkicker Topwater Bait can be walked or retrieved more like a plopper-style bait when fish want more movement.
• Best around shallow cover, docks, and open-water feeding fish.

When to switch

Switch to a subtler topwater if fish follow but don’t commit, or if the water is very calm and pressured. If you’re fishing heavy weeds or want a weedless frog-style approach, move to a frog instead of a hard churning bait. If fish are deeper or inactive, a subsurface lure will usually outproduce surface commotion.
