Alot of new stuff has come out in the last few year so thought I'd ask which ones yall are loving? Same ol or something new? I discovered the ima little stick 4 years ago and have caught more fish over 8 on it then any other bait by far. Love it.

Was a RI Vixen fan from way back. Been using the Negabass Diamante for the last several years. It's one of those really, really good under the radar baits. Not sure why it's not more popular but it catches them.

For the longest time my topwater choices were either a yellow magic or a spook & vixen, rarely strayed. I tried the MB Pop Max last year & am thoroughly impressed. Caught a few fish with it today actually. It’s got me thinking about seeing what MB offers in a walking bait, I’ll have to give this one a try.

The original Vixen and a close clone to it is the Heckler and a Spook.

Berkley Kane Walker. I was given one as part of an entry prize packet a couple of years ago. The next time I went fishing I tied it on and caught about a 3 pounder. it wasn't that big of a fish but it was one of the most violent strikes I've ever seen. The fish hit it so hard he had all of both treble hooks buried in his face. It was by far the hardest fish to disconnect from a lure I'd ever delt with, thought I was going to have to cut the treble hooks off it at one point.

Still Supers Spooks with feather rear hooks,after many years river2sea Rover is a good one and the Black Dog wooden Whopper Ploppers catch lunkers but not as versitile as a Spook and a lower percent bait the best poppers are Lobina Rio Ricos they can be walked but not a true walking bait.

I have several of the OG Vixen and a bunch of the new version. They are pretty well identical. In addition the Teckel Kicknocker is also the same mold as OG Vixen. The owner of Teckel invented the Vixen, Squeaky Dolphin and the Swamp Donkey.
