Why these fit

For topwater in shallow heavy grass in spring, the best first choices are frogs and buzzbaits because they ride over vegetation and trigger reaction strikes from bass moving shallow.

G-Ratt Baits Popping Frog 2.3" Topwater Bass Frog Lure is a strong match because it’s floating, surface-oriented, and specifically described for heavy cover, grass mats, lily pads, reeds, and shoreline structure.
American Baitworks Co. NetBait BaitFuel BF Toad Soft Buzzing Frog is ideal when you want a steady-moving surface bait that makes commotion over shallow cover and heavy vegetation.
Great Outdoors Shops Davy Jones’ Buzz – Topwater Buzzbait for Bass fits when you want a clean-running, loud topwater search bait that can be burned or slow-rolled over grass.
Invasive Custom Lures and Baits Blaze Runner is a good option if the fish are pressured or keyed on smaller prey and you want a subtler surface bait.
G-Ratt Baits POPPING FROG is another solid heavy-cover frog choice for explosive strikes in shallow grass.

Technique notes

Frog: Cast onto mats, lanes, and edges; pause in holes, then twitch or pop it back across openings.
Buzzbait/toad: Keep it moving just fast enough to stay on top; use it to cover water and find active fish.
Best spring targets: outside grass edges, isolated clumps, pockets in the mat, and any shallow warming water near cover.
If the grass is thick, choose weedless surface baits and keep the retrieve high and steady.

When to switch

Switch to a frog when the cover is thick and you need to land in mats or tight pockets.
Switch to a buzzbait/toad when you want to search more water or fish are chasing.
Switch to a more subtle topwater like Invasive Custom Lures and Baits Blaze Runner if bass blow up and miss, or if they get wary.
If fish won’t come up, move to a subsurface grass bait instead of forcing topwater.
