Not alot of people have heard from the sammy. Fyi, it is made by Lucky Craft and its about 30$ for one
Cheers!

Nodie,
Not sure if you're talking about surface fishing in general or for a specified species (i.e. muskies).
But 2 of my favorite topwater lures for bassin (smallies, especially) are the Heddon Torpedo and the Zara Spook. These are my go to surface presentation choices.

Both are deadly on all species

Nodie: I'm with ya on the Sammy, but you're about $10.00 hogh on the price. I am also a big fan of the Flappin Shad by Gambler and any kind of rat. Some of the new frogs, like the cane toad from Gambler have fooled a fish or two for me as well.

Hello All,
In regards to largies and smallmouth, my top three would have to be a Zara Spook or Puppy, Chug Bug and Spit N' Image.
Gotta love topwatering!
Good Fishing,
Justin
