Topwater Lures: Explosive Strikes You’ll Never Forget
At Los Cazadores, topwater lures bring the thrill, the drama, and the heart-pounding action.
From walking baits and poppers to frogs and prop baits, we carry the surface baits that provoke violent strikes from bass, redfish, and other aggressive predators.
Topwater lures excel in low-light conditions, calm waters, or when fish are actively feeding near the surface.
Our lineup includes a full range of surface presentations to match different species, water types, and cover scenarios.
Walking Baits & Stickbaits
“Walk-the-dog” style lures offer side-to-side gliding action that drives bass wild—ideal for open water and clear conditions.
Great for covering water and calling fish from a distance.
Poppers & Chuggers
These baits create splash, noise, and commotion that draw fish from cover or entice hesitant followers into striking.
Use a twitch-pause retrieve to mimic a wounded baitfish.
Frogs & Hollow Body Lures
Frogs are built for fishing through heavy vegetation and lily pads where other topwaters can’t go.
Their weedless design and lifelike action make them deadly in summer and fall.
Trusted Brands, Proven Strikes
We carry Strike King, Booyah, Heddon, SPRO, Lunkerhunt, and more—ready to help you turn calm water into chaos.
When it’s time to fish the surface, we’ve got the right bait for the job.

FAQs
When is the best time to use topwater lures?
Topwaters are most effective during early morning, late evening, or on cloudy days. They work best when fish are active near the surface or in shallow water.
What kind of rod and line should I use for topwater?
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a fast action tip helps with accurate casting and hooksets. Use monofilament line—it floats better and helps keep your bait working on top.
Are topwater lures effective for saltwater fishing?
Absolutely. Topwaters are excellent for redfish, speckled trout, and stripers—especially around flats, oyster bars, or baitfish schools. Just rinse them after saltwater use to prevent corrosion.
