We all dream about topwater strikes! These baits will get you bit! From the standard topwater tricks, to overlooked baits you've likely never heard of, Matt is showing you everything you need to be prepared to catch bass on topwater! Let's go!!
Topwater fishing is amazing! From poppers to walking baits, wake baits to buzz baits, it's hard not to dream about your next topwater bite. However, when other anglers are throwing the same baits as you, it can get tough in a hurry! There are key baits that you need to throw every year, but there are also some hidden gems that no one is using.
Below you'll find links to Matt's favorite baits. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as some great combos for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
