The category of Topwater lures include a lot of different baits in various shapes and sizes to achieve different actions on the water’s surface. There are walkers, poppers, buzzbaits, wakebaits, minnows and prop baits to name a few. Topwater lures seem to cater to both the feeding and agitation impulse of a predatory fish, almost simultaneously. They are basically meant to mimic a fleeing or helpless injured bait, and they generally involve erratic action imparted by series of rod twitches by the angler. Or their design gives them a steady agitating action.
