As the title states. If you could only have one topwater to throw what would it be and in what color?

Would be a tough choice, but either a Topraider or a Lg. Plastic Pacemaker.
A dark color.

Each season is different, but the last few years I would "kill" to just throw my buddy's vintage pacemaker. That thing just calls in fish.

I don't think I could pick just one. Can I have 3?

Black or Black and orange Original "Cady" Weagle.

Black and Orange or Loon Top Raider.

Randy Paffert Creeper. Love my Yellow and brown one.

 

Listed in order of effectiveness. Creeper, Weagle, and Top Raider in order of explosive, nerve shattering hits!

As stated before you can't just have one. Different styles, different speeds they are to be worked for different conditions. You cannot compare a prop or a globe to a slow moving walk the dog or slow mover like a creeper or hawg wobbler. All are effective each have their place.

Choosing only one color - you have to go with something black. Choosing one style - incredibly difficult. If forced I would choose a Bucher Topraider,
