Topwater fishing is an exhilarating way to catch fish, especially when targeting species like bass, pike, and even saltwater fish. The best lures for topwater fishing vary depending on the species you're targeting and the conditions you're fishing in. Here are some of the best options:

1. **Poppers**: These lures create a splashing sound that attracts fish. A popular choice is the Rebel Pop-R or the Heddon Super Spook. They work well in calm waters and during low light conditions.

2. **Walking Baits**: Lures like the Zara Spook or the Strike King KVD Splash are perfect for mimicking the movement of a wounded baitfish. You can create a side-to-side walking action that drives fish crazy.

3. **Buzz Baits**: These lures create a commotion on the surface, making them great for covering water quickly. The Booyah Buzz or the Strike King Buzz King can be effective, especially in warmer water temperatures when fish are more aggressive.

4. **Frog Lures**: Perfect for fishing in heavy cover, frog lures like the Spro Bronzeye Frog or the Strike King Popping Frog can be worked over lily pads and thick vegetation. They mimic the movement of frogs and can produce explosive strikes.

5. **Surface Jigs**: These are great for imitating insects or small fish. The Gulp! Alive! Surface Jig is a good option for targeting freshwater species.

Remember to match your lure size and color to the local baitfish and conditions. Also, consider the time of day; topwater lures tend to work best during dawn and dusk when fish are actively feeding. Experiment with different retrieves to find what works best on any given day. Happy fishing!
