  • From crazy contraptions to GIANT poppers, these obscure topwater lures really work! We all love throwing topwater but the same old baits can get mundane. If you're looking for something new, look no further than these unique lures to catch your next topwater bass!
    We all have our favorite topwater lures. From the Shower Blows to the Whopper Plopper there are a handful of tried and true lures that should be in every angler's box. But what about the baits most anglers have overlooked? Are any of those baits worth throwing? You better believe it!
    Below you'll find links to all 8 of these unique topwater lures. We've also included a couple budget friendly rod and reel combos to help you throw them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

    Been bass fishing for about 3 years now. Picked it up later in life than a lot of folks. You guys have contributed to a HUGE improvement in my skill and knowledge. Thank you for everything you do to share and spread good information. I had never heard of a swing head jig until your video about it recently. Picked up the gear, threw it the next day, caught a great fish in the first 10 minutes. Amazing stuff, keep it up fellas!

    New subscriber about 2 months now, and you have made me an elite bass fisherman . So much knowledge due to the way you on point describe each bait, what it does, how to fish it, the environments, your tone of voice with the sound effects. Haha, man your great! I always get exactly what I need for any conditions and environments. Love your videos, thank you a lot man!

    After watching Roland Martin catch big bass on The Helicopter lure back in the day, im convinced bass will hit anything that's coming across the top if the conditions are right....nevertheless, I'll keep buying lures for my collection 😂 agree 100% on showing fish sonething different every now & then...the 9" Slug go soft jerkbait was that bait for me, which i guarantee no one was throwing this spring...worked great! Im going to take overlooked baits this weekend & see what happens

    Another great video Matt. I have another unique lure that almost no one is using. Have you tried the iBobber robotic jerkbait called a snappr. It's a crazy bait that is charged with a USB charging cable. The jerkbait’s secondary action is what is unique. The lure flashes and vibrates. It us on the pause that this bait catches the most fish. It works great with bass but is a killer bait for walleye and pike as well. Try it and let me know 😉

    I still remember being a young teenage who fished casually with night crawlers and I was riding my bike back home and noticed something tangled in the bushes. I was able to reach it and it looked so funny I tied it on my line and said WTF it was getting dark and all I heard was a plopping then wham my rod was bending and I pulled in at the time the biggest bass I caught (TBH thinking back if it was two pounds it was a lot lol) I got home and I grabbed my brothers Bass Pro catalog and flipped through the pages to see if I could find it. Turns out it was a Heddon Crazy Crawler. I still use them today almond with jitterbugs.

    The Zman Hellraizer is a great bait that needs an upgrade. The wire that connects the blade to the body is too weak. My first bass, weighing 1.5 lbs, bent it it 90 degrees. The second bass, about 2 pounds, broke the wire.
