| Depends upon if you mean above water, or below. I never used a hydrophone, but Ryan Jinkerson and I used to get in a pool or end of dock, and toss lures. The hawg wobbler style and blobe style lures at the time, made the most noise to 'us' under water, followed by tapdancers, and other loose metal bladed lures. The tail rotators and straight creepers made the least noise, no matter how loud they 'plopped' on top. Creepers and tailbaits are still some of our best producers, so what it did was just give us some insight on where and when to at least give certain lures a try. That was 15 or so years ago. Since, we still reach for certain topwaters in certain conditions, lakes, times of year. Night fishing topwaters has taken on new meaning over the years, with certain lures chosen for different reasons. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | There are different types of 'loud' underwater. The 'pop' from tail baits can be loud, but doesn't come close to wood to wood contact from the jointed baits and the metal noises of steel against wood. Plastic jointed lures that have segment to segment contact are also deafening.
'Loud' isn't always good.
Yep, I have recorded the flaptail/splashtail baits, the blade noise isn't real loud, but it is interesting and certainly loud enough.. |

Location: Eau Claire,WI | Here is one I forgot about,not a topwateer but can be worked as one...A 10" jointed Believer with a bell sinker on the front hook hanger. Put in your ear plugs!!! |

| I don't know what it sounds like underwater but I bought a magnum pacemaker at a show a few years ago. Thing is huge and the sound it makes reminds of what it sounded like in my old VW Rabbit when the exhaust pipe hanger broke and that pipe was banging on the bottom of the car until I could get home and fix it. Sounded like I was in a fifty gallon drum and someone was beating on it with broom handle. I have not used it often but maybe this fall. |
