| Definitely works when you get a follow, you can't move it fast enough. |

| Super top raiders, the counter rotation keeps the bait from rolling |

| Yes, absolutely people do this with good success. But, the bait matters quite a bit. A normal single prop bait will just roll in the water when burning. |

| I've seen topwater burning used as part of a 1 - 2 presentation. First guy burns the toppy and the clean up guy follows with something slower. Not always effective but I've seen it at least a few times where the toppy activates the fish but it won't eat that but it's cranked enough to eat the follow-up. |

Location: Ames, Iowa | I vary retrieve speed on topwaters all the time I am fishing them. I will move at what I consider normal, then speed up, then move it a little more methodically. Rumblers, Topraiders, Jackpots, same for crankbaits I twitch. I do this because I have seen fish struggle at the surface slowly or chase baitfish or insects, or flee a feeding bass. I even troll prop bladed tops within 60 feet of the boat thinking a muskie would consider it a panicked baitfish escaping a boat. |
