New Trends in Topwater Bass Lures

Topwater Bass Lure Trends

Each year brings new lure styles and fresh innovations in bass fishing lures. One of the newest trends in topwater bass lures is the combination of different styles – bringing together blades, hollow body frogs, and large prop baits. If you love throwing topwater baits for bass, make room in your tackle box for these new additions.

Booyah Toad Runner

The Booyah Toad Runner Frog is another example of a hollow-body bait with a rotating tail for added sound and water-churning action.

Lunkerhunt Prop Frog

The Lunkerhunt Prop Frog provides another perspective on spin. Its two prop feed noisily churn and plop along the surface. Its weedless design cruises over cover where other common prop baits hang up.

Livetarget Commotion Shad

Spin is certainly “in” when it comes to topwaters. The Livetarget Commontion Shad is a weedless, hollow-body bait that splashes and sends out noise as it scurries across the water tahnks to its rear-spinning blad, which leaves a bubble trail and wake.

Teckel USA Maracker Frog

The new Teckel USA Maracker Frog is noteworthy too, as its weedless hollow body has a chrome-played, plastic rattling blad on a premium ballbearing swivel that produces a unique surface sound and disturbance.

River2Sea Whopper Plopper

Big prop baits are also trending. Examples include the Berkley Choppo and River2Sea Whopper Plopper. These lures swim straight with a spitting, gurgling surface action that creates a sizeable wake thanks to a spinning tail. There’s something about this style of surface bait that drives big bass wild.
