How about a weightless sluggo has anyone had luck with these? Just want to

I am going to Maine next week to fish for smallies and I was wondering

if

anyone can recommend what to use for topwater?



personal favorites for smallies are a #5 up to a #9 floating rapala
(black/silver is my fav). Also a Zara Pup , Pop-R, Tiny Torpedo. If
it is dead calm I will go with the rapala hands down. Pop-R is also
deadly then. Tiny Torpedo is great if it is a little choppy. Also a
big white buzzbait can be deadly if the water starts getting choppy.

Those are about the only topwaters I use for smallies, except maybe a
tube weightless. They seem to work pretty good at times as well.

Hope this helps.

I guess I didn't think of them as a topwater, but as a jerkbait they are
dynamite. Another bait that I have caught a lot of fish on is the 3"
Senko.. Just absolute dynamite on a 1 or 1/0 hook. I have been using
it as a buzzbait or spook follow up and it is has been an amazing
multi-species bait.
