I'm looking to up my arsenal of topwaters this offseason and am looking at some bigger stuff. I prefer prop baits (whopper plopper, tallywhacker, etc.) as opposed to wtd style. I'm planning on a Cannonball and one of the big wood Pacemakers from Thorne, but if anyone else has recommendations on BIG topwater lures I would really like to hear it.

What's everyones opinion on the biggest Hawg Wobbler? I have the standard size and outside of the retrieval speed I love em.

Thanks,
E

These are really nice big heavy duty, well built topwaters. If you can get your hands on any, I'd highly recommend. Put some very nice fish in the boat this past season.

Im a big fan of the Magnum Hawg wobbler. Caught a lot of big fish on them including my biggest on any surface bait. 52.5". I switched the hooks out on them and put bigger ones on seemed to really help with hook ups.

Big Mamma prop baits are great!

Husky Hawg Wobbler - catches fish. These have been around for a long time for a reason.

Big props:
Big Mama Lures Twisted Sis'tr, Psycho Sis'tr, & Dirty B. These move some water

Lee Lures Water Chopper, Water Chopper HD, & Tidal Wave (moved & caught more fish on a Mini Chopper 4.75" this past season than all of my other topwaters combined).

Big WTD
Suick 10" Weagle - good sound and action.

If you're looking for big, look into some of the baits from American Hardwood Lures. Phil's an awesome guys with topnotch service. Baits are very well built and catch a ton of fish.

+1 on the Mag Low Rider. Caught numerous giants to 53 on it. My fav topwater of any size! Shrink tube the rear hook straight out.

you can't go wrong with the canonball if you want it big, i also like the dirty B, i divide mine into 2 sections, that gives it a crawling look when fished slow, and also prevents the possibility of line twist.

Also take a look at AHL website, that guy makes some crazy awesome stuff :D

I got a huge, down right ugly topper you may like. Made for testing and runs great. No body roll at speed and unique, subtle noise. $9 To cover postage. It's big.
