It would have to be a Zora Spook, perfect for agressive bass. Caught a 21 incher on one last year. Buzz baits work good too.

buzzbait, pop-r, and spook in that order, like the spook but it is for sure a big fish bait

Bigbass you fish the spook by "walking the dog". Keep your rod low and retrieve by working the rod tip and reeling in a jerky cadence. I like to use a bait casting reel with a 6' or 6' 6" MH rod and 10-17 pound test. When you cast any top water bait let it sit for a few seconds especially if it is calm. Then twitch it and wait for a couple of more seconds. Then start your retreive. When it works there isn't a more exciting way to fish.

I like the spook but I have great luck with a 5 inch black and silver Rappala (sp) Work it like a wounded minnow on top and BAM! Weedless I would have to go with a white mouse.......
