Topwater Tricks You've NEVER Heard... But Your FRIENDS Have!

Its topwater time! These are the tricks that make all the difference! Want to look different? Want to get bit when others can't? There are subtle changes you can make to your topwater baits that will make a huge difference! From heavy-weighted frogs to front runners, we're giving you the best of the best today!

You can go to the lake and throw the same old topwater or you can take it to the next level! There are reasons that some anglers get more bites than others. Sure, there are some key baits that get a ton of bites but there are also some tricks of the trade that we've learned through years of experimentation and we're willing to share them with you. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors, exact trailers, and all the components to help you modify them. We've also included some of our favorite rods for these techniques as well as a great budget option.

Spring Topwater?? Never Miss The Bite Again!

Don't be the guy who misses the start of the Early Spring Topwater this year! It sneaks up on your every year but this time you're going to be prepared! The fish start keying on the surface much sooner than most anglers realize. These 2 tricks will make it easy for you to know when the bite has begun!


There are two key indicators of an early season topwater bite. The first is the presence of fresh grass growth. When the grass begins to develop, the topwater bite almost always follows suit. The 2nd is the presence of baitfish in the shallows. If there are minnows up shallow, its time to start throwing topwater during the warm afternoon periods.
