top water verses swimm baits

[fishhead777]

whats your choice and why

for me its top water, just the site of seeing a bass take a top water lure is just the best!!!!!!:D :D :D

I like a top water just because I can see it splashing or wobbling or whatever.

I have also had more success dead sticking a top water than dead sticking swimmers.

I love em all; top water, swimming, soft plastic, metals, jigs, even bait at times. What I really love is finding out what it is that they want; size, shape, color, depth, tide, etc.. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.

The experts say you cant be live bait in the spring.

My Wood Is Good:D I love to see the top water hits from bass n blues:) .

top water whe you can see fish hit swimmers when they stop it and then run and bucktails when you are working them real slow and you feel them pecking at it;)

[JRC]

any lure that produces a surface strike gets my vote

[Guatemala Dave]

There is no doubt that a topwater strike is more exciting, but I always use whatever will get me the most total action.

Yes a big bass hitting a top water plug is the best but....

You have to fish were they are feeding at that time. I am not going to though top water if they are not taking it. If the bass are feeding deep I will go to a swim bait or bucktail. Use what will work at that time to catch.
