What is your favorite topwater walking bait?

[spinnerbation]

Bill Dance Dancing shad ,it was made by Excalibur but I think it's made by Heddon now . Noisy , tons of movement , easy to walk and fish eat it . Fish miss it alot because it moves so much side to side . But it's so much fun and they keep coming back for it .

Are you referring to the Spit'N Image & Spit'N Image Jr? If so +1 on that bait!

- Highly Realistic Finish (for a nearly 20 year old design)
- Loud Sharp Rattle
- Perfect Shad profile
- Easy to use
- Sticky Sharp Rotating Trebble Hooks

By far my most productive Topwater bait anywhere anytime! This is actually my go-to bait if fish are shallow or suspended high over deep water chasing bait. No other bait I can think of that will load the boat with the better quality fish when the bite is on!

I also like the spook jr. Sometimes they dont go after the regular size zara spook but tear up the jr. I find the bigger one easier to throw and work. The good ole hula popper got me started on top water. And i'm surprised no one said anything about the jitter bug. Even though i haven't used one in yrs. It was a favorite as a kid.

This bait fished best with a slack line presentation.  The more slack your line when you were jerking the tip the more action and the bait wouldn't move but a half inch to an inch so the fish wouldn't miss it...............as much and those loud rattles would just call the big girls out.  Great bait.  I still fish it and I have some original Excalibur colors.  That "Excalibur" series of baits were baits made by Pradco back in the day which included those which were the Heddon and then the Cordell as well as Bomber, Smithwick because I remember a KVD clown color but that may have been a long A Jerk bait, and I was rather partial to the 3/4 ounce Jimmy Houston Cordell Spot.  Caught the biggest bass I ever caught on Kent Lake with that lure off the back of Angelo's boat about 15 or more years ago.  I was young then.
